Sim Spec AI
Describe the scenario. Get a build-ready spec.
Sim Spec AI turns a sector and a scenario concept into a complete training simulation specification — training objectives, scenario overview, learner profile, required components, assessment criteria, and technical requirements. The rigorous spec that gets written before a single line of code.

The Most Expensive Mistake In Sim Development
Building a simulation without a spec is building it twice.
Scope creep, missed learning objectives, platform mismatch — every expensive failure in a training simulation traces back to a spec that was never properly written. By the time the problem surfaces in production, the changes are no longer free.
We built the whole scenario, then discovered halfway through it didn't actually hit the learning objectives the client needed. We rebuilt it.
Cost: a full rebuild
The brief was two paragraphs. The dev team filled the gaps with guesses, and every guess that was wrong became a change order.
Cost: change order after change order
We scoped for desktop and the client expected VR. Nobody wrote the platform down, so nobody caught it until the demo.
Cost: a platform mismatch at demo
The Difference
Fix it in the spec, while changes are still free.
Before
Learning objectives discovered mid-build
Dev team fills gaps with costly guesses
Platform assumptions caught at the demo
Scope creep with no baseline to point to
Changes that cost the most, made latest
After
Measurable objectives defined up front
Every section specified — nothing left to guess
Platform and hardware locked before the build
A baseline that holds scope in place
Every change made when it's still free to make
What you get
Training Objectives
Four to six specific, measurable learning objectives, each following the pattern: trainees will be able to [verb] [specific skill].
Measurable OutcomesScenario Overview
The setting, triggering event, time pressure, and key decision points — concrete enough to storyboard.
Storyboard-ReadyLearner Profile
Target role, experience level, prior knowledge, team size, and accessibility considerations for who's actually training.
Audience & AccessSimulation Components
Environments, required equipment and props with fidelity requirements, and the AI behaviors and event triggers that drive the scenario.
Environments · Equipment · AIAssessment & Performance Metrics
Behavioral checkpoints, critical must-do and must-not-do actions, debriefing triggers, and pass/fail criteria.
Scoring & DebriefTechnical Requirements & Compliance
Hardware, software, networking, and LMS integration needs — plus sector-specific compliance notes.
Tech & CompliancePART OF THE GAME DEV SUITE
Sim Spec AI is the document written before the build.
Sim Spec AI stands on its own — pick a sector, describe the concept, and get a build-ready spec back. It also pairs naturally with the rest of the Game Dev Suite: build out the confederate roles or standardized patients a scenario calls for in NPC Forge, draft a training game's design document in GDD Express, or spec a tabletop serious-game companion in Board Game Express.
NPC Forge
Build out the confederate roles or standardized patients your scenario's AI Behaviors section calls for.
GDD Express
Prototyping a training game rather than a pure simulation? Draft its design document here first.
Board Game Express
Building a tabletop version of a training scenario? Draft its pitch and manufacturer spec here.
How It Works
From concept to build-ready spec in four steps.
Pick The Sector
Choose from 25 simulation types across 7 industry groups.
Describe The Concept
What the sim trains, in plain language — no instructional-design jargon.
Add The Platform (Optional)
VR, desktop, mobile, or specific hardware — tailors the technical requirements to match.
Get The Spec
A complete, seven-section, build-ready specification your dev team can start from.
Sector-Specific Templates
Twenty-five simulation types. Seven industries. One rigorous spec.
A surgical sim and a de-escalation sim aren't the same document. Sim Spec AI tailors tone and compliance language to the sector you're actually building for.
Healthcare & Medicine
Surgical procedures, nursing & clinical education, patient care, emergency response.
Defense & Military
Combat simulations, tactical clearance, vehicle crew operations, mixed-reality battlefield.
Aviation & Aerospace
Flight deck simulations, pilot training, maintenance procedures.
Industrial & Skilled Trades
Heavy equipment operation, advanced manufacturing, construction safety, hazard management.
Emergency Services
Firefighter training, disaster preparedness, law enforcement (vRBT).
Corporate & Customer Service
De-escalation training, soft skills, sales training, retail operations.
Academic & Professional
Pharmacy workflows, dental lab techniques, legal & law firm.
Built For The People Who Scope Simulations
From instructional design to enterprise delivery.
Instructional Designers
Spec documents that communicate with development teams, not just learning teams.
VR/AR Studios
A client-ready specification that structures the discovery and scoping phase.
L&D Departments
Vendor RFP documents built from a complete spec rather than a vague brief.
Simulation Studios
Enterprise and federal specs for pharmaceutical, defense, and clinical clients.

The spec is where a simulation is won or lost.
Every gap you leave in the brief becomes a change order in production. Write the rigorous spec first — and build the simulation once, not twice.

What sectors does it cover?
Seven: Healthcare & Medicine, Defense & Military, Aviation & Aerospace, Industrial & Skilled Trades, Emergency Services, Corporate & Customer Service, and Academic & Professional — 25 simulation types in total, each with sector-specific vocabulary and compliance context.
Does it output SCORM-compliant specs?
It outputs spec language aligned with SCORM/xAPI requirements for Defense scenarios, and Joint Commission and AHA/ACLS-aligned language for Medical scenarios. Your development team implements the actual tracking in the build, but the spec gives them what they need.
Can it handle sensitive scenario content?
Yes. Do not include classified information, but it handles realistic tactical and clinical scenarios including casualty care, threat engagement, and emergency response.
