How it works

Learn. Simulate. Prove.

The content is scaffolding. The simulation is the product. The Talent Report is what you walk away with. Here's exactly how the four weeks run.

01 — Learn

3 weeks of lean, practical content

Recorded by a working practitioner, not a professor — 3 to 4 hours total, built around exactly what the simulation will test. No padding, no filler modules, nothing you won't actually use in Week 4.

02 — Simulate

A real-world job simulation

Co-designed with a startup founder from a 3-hour session on their actual playbook. Three progressive tasks build toward Week 4's Master Simulation.

03 — Prove

Your Talent Report

Every task is scored against a practitioner's rubric, and every student gets individual written feedback, no exceptions. Not a certificate. Proof.

The product

The schedule

Week by week

Every cohort runs on the same rhythm: async content early in the week, a live session, then the task window opens.

Week 1Orientation & Task 1

Mon – Wed	Content drops (3–4 hrs, async).
Thu	30-min live orientation — the practitioner walks through Task 1 expectations and shows a strong vs. weak submission example.
Thu – Sun	Task 1 open.

Week 2Feedback loop & Task 2

Mon – Wed	Content continues.
Thu	Task 1 feedback returned.
Thu – Sat	Task 2 open.
Sun	60-min live doubt-solving session.

Week 3Task 3 & the Founder AMA

Mon – Wed	Content continues.
—	Task 2 feedback returned.
Thu – Sat	Task 3 open.
Sun	60-min live doubt-solving, plus an exclusive 45–60 min Founder AMA — premium direct access to the person who co-designed the simulation, not a support session.

Week 4The Master Simulation

Mon – Tue	Full review access reopens; Task 3 feedback delivered.
Wed – Sat	Master Simulation open (deadline: end of day Saturday).
Sun	Scores and feedback delivered.

Your Talent Report is delivered Tuesday–Wednesday the following week, and the top-performer shortlist is sent to the company partner at the same time.

Progressive by design

Tasks 1, 2, and 3 aren't practice — they're components of the Master Simulation

Each task builds directly on the last, so by Week 4 you've already worked through every piece the Master Simulation will ask of you — just with different numbers and a different scenario. That structure reduces anxiety going into the final week without reducing rigor: the bar doesn't drop, but the approach is no longer a surprise.

Evaluation

How your work actually gets graded

AI does the first pass. A person always finishes the job.

Step 1 — AI first pass

AI evaluates every submission against the rubric first, flagging strengths and gaps and drafting structured feedback.

Step 2 — Provd team review

The Provd team reviews, edits, and personalizes that draft. Every student gets individual written feedback, regardless of tier.

Step 3 — Company partner review

The top 5 submissions go to the company partner for a 15–20 minute review.

Step 4 — Into the Talent Report

The partner's written notes become part of the Talent Report for those top performers.

Where AI fits in

Three layers of AI, not one bolted-on chatbot

AI as a simulation character

In a sales simulation, AI responds live as a prospect raising objections. In a PM simulation, it plays multiple stakeholders with conflicting priorities. It reacts in character, not as a chatbot.

AI tools as workflow content

Each domain teaches the specific AI tools practitioners actually use in that job today — not a generic "intro to AI" module bolted onto unrelated content.

AI-assisted evaluation

AI drafts the first-pass read on every submission — flagging strengths and gaps. A person always finishes the job (see below).
