- Detects stakeholder relationships and reporting structures
Generates Realistic Scenarios
- Creates workplace situations candidates will actually face
- Includes relevant context (timelines, budgets, team dynamics)
- Incorporates industry-specific challenges and terminology
- Builds multi-stakeholder scenarios requiring balanced judgment
The AI generates scenarios at varying difficulty
Scenario Complexity Levels
- Simple: Single-factor decisions with clear best practices
- Moderate: Multi-factor situations requiring prioritization
- Complex: Ambiguous scenarios with competing stakeholder needs
Manufacturing and Construction companies use situational analysis to test safety judgment, project prioritization, and crisis response capabilities.

AI Evaluation — Assessing Decision
Quality, Not Memorized Answers
Unlike technical questions with single correct answers, situational analysis evaluates reasoning, quality and judgment.
What the AI Analyzes
Problem Understanding
- Does the candidate correctly identify the core issue?
- Are relevant constraints and stakeholders recognized?
- Is the situation complexity appropriately assessed?
Decision Rationale
- Is the reasoning logical and well-structured?
- Are trade-offs explicitly acknowledged?
- Does the approach consider both short-term and long-term impacts?
Prioritization Judgment
- Are competing priorities ranked appropriately?
- Does the candidate distinguish urgent from important?
- Are stakeholder needs balanced effectively?
Risk Awareness
- Are potential negative consequences identified?
- Does the approach include risk mitigation strategies?
- Is the candidate appropriately cautious vs. overly risk-averse?
Practical Feasibility
- Is the proposed solution realistic given constraints?
- Does the approach consider implementation challenges?
- Are resource requirements understood?
Ethical Consideration
- Does the decision align with professional standards?
- Are ethical implications recognized and addressed?
- Does the approach maintain integrity under pressure?
Communication Quality
- Is the decision explained clearly to stakeholders?
- Does the candidate articulate reasoning persuasively?
- Are alternative viewpoints acknowledged respectfully?
No Single “Correct” Answer
Situational analysis accepts multiple valid approaches. AI evaluates the quality of reasoning and maturity of judgment — not the specific solution chosen.
