Back in 2023, the team noticed something odd: good scenario modelling tools existed, but nowhere to actually practise them in a structured, low-stakes environment.
A 3-day workshop in Waterloo with 12 participants from 8 countries confirmed the gap. People wanted iteration cycles, not slide decks. They wanted to run a scenario, see it break, adjust the variables, and run it again — with someone knowledgeable enough to explain why it broke.
Pesudavil was built to give exactly that. Each workshop is structured around a real modelling task. Participants work through it in stages, get feedback at defined checkpoints, and finish with something they built — not just notes they took.
Assignments tied to specific modelling decisions, not abstract concepts
Collaborative tools so groups across time zones can work on the same scenario
Facilitators with hands-on background, not just teaching experience
A multilingual environment that adjusts without losing technical precision
