The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Screen Monday’s payment run”, learners rewrite a realistic document line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “The account manager calls back”, a chat, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “How one payment reaches a designated person”; and “A score isn’t a decision: what’s relevant, what’s missing, and what’s your role?”.
