Move from curves to consequences.
Use a competitive market simulation to connect introductory models with observable choices, outcomes, and discussion.
A focused module
A practical module, not a semester-long rollout.
A typical sequence introduces the market, runs several short Rounds, pauses for comparison, and finishes with a structured debrief or export-based assignment.
Current pilot scope: the Core simulation, instructor Round controls, student dashboards, baseline analytics, audit history, and CSV export. MiniLabs and the complete Instructor Kit are not yet presented as released features.
