Ethical AI, purposeful software, and collaborative R&D

Software
that thinks like
a researcher.

Eight purpose-driven products, built with universities, TAFEs and not-for-profits, made with educators in mind at every step.

Spotlight

Any story, turned
into a branching
immersive sim.

SimChoices turns any narrative, from a novel reimagined as a game to social-skills scenarios, immersive job training, classroom dilemmas, or pure CYOA fun, into a branching simulation with generated voice, scene art, and timed choices. Serious themes, playful delivery, and learning experiences people actually want to play.

Inspect the Rock Face

You stop before the exposed limestone wall, close enough to see the grain of the rock. It is time to decide how to proceed.

Teacher tells the story.
A 6-minute voice memo from a field archaeologist. The system pulls out the characters, setting, conflict, and the question at the heart of it.
"Mia hadn't done her homework again. I'd warned her last week, but tonight when I asked, she just… froze. Then it clicked, she's been sleeping over at her aunt's because…"
2Structure
The story becomes a branching path.
The system proposes a skeleton, and the teacher edits it: what choices are presented, where the story splits, and where it comes back together.

Voices, scenes, choices.
The system generates voice acting, scene art and timed interactions, all editable. Teachers stay in control of every line.

Stays true to the story
Every generated line is checked against your source narrative. Anything that drifts off-topic or feels out of place gets flagged before you publish.
Source-faithful generation
No broken paths
Catches dead ends, unreachable scenes, and choices that trap the player. Every path is checked to make sure it resolves.

Works with your school’s LMS
Drops into Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, or Brightspace, with every choice and reflection logged.

Backed by research
Built on established learning science theory: gamification, motivation theory, and how stories help people learn.

The rest of
the toolkit.

Different problems, same principle: rigorous, practical tools designed around the needs of researchers, teachers and analysts. Quanti and Quali open the set, handling the numbers and the transcripts against one shared project file.

Quantitative analysis
Quanti

A full suite of statistical models, with robust standard errors and clustering handled automatically. Formula and assumption checks are shown alongside every result.

Segment B · Live facilitation

Sprints with
a spine.

Strategy Spaces runs hackathons, sprints and innovation sessions from a single phase track. Admins build the sequence, the host drives a live playhead, and everyone in the room moves together.

The morning had not yet decided what it wanted to be. Light came in flat through the kitchen window, and somewhere a kettle began to whistle, then thought better of it.

She had been awake since four, not from worry exactly, but from a kind of attentiveness she could not name.

The book was open on the table where she'd left it. A pencil mark in the margin, hers, made some weeks ago, read simply: "begin again."

Short structured games that run inside a Zoom or Teams call, each one aimed at a specific meeting outcome.

How we work

Partner-built
from day one.

Every product in the roster started as a problem brought to us by a university, TAFE or not-for-profit. We build it together, they bring the practice, we bring the software, and the methods stay open and replicable.

University
University partner
SimChoices · pilot with trainee teachers

Example result: higher completion rates than the baseline group, across several student cohorts.

TAFE
TAFE partner
SimChoices · training for trauma-informed practice

Custom story library, with staff trained to write their own scenarios in-house.

Not-for-profit
Not-for-profit partner
HyveMaps · mapping radio transmitter access

Open dataset covering 6,273 transmitters; gaps identified fed into an ACMA submission.

University
University partner, research methods
Quali · teaching interview research methods

Coding workflow now used across two graduate courses.

Four things we won’t
cut corners on.

Methods on the page

The formula, the threshold, the assumption: visible right where you’re using it, not buried in a help doc.

Grounded in real sources

Every AI output is tied back to something real: a teacher’s story, a coded transcript, or an open dataset.

Replication by default

Every analysis exports the data, parameters, and seed. Someone else should be able to run it tomorrow and get the same result.

Built with the field

Every product in the roster has a partner credited. None of it would exist without their practice and patience.

Services

Work we do alongside
the products.

Facilitation, software development and AI systems work. Most engagements begin because a partner needed something the roster did not cover, and several products started life as exactly that.

Significant discounts and gratis services for purpose organisations.

Not-for-profits, charities, community organisations and purpose-driven bodies are charged well below our commercial rate. Where the work is small, urgent, or clearly in the public interest, we do it at no cost. Commercial engagements fund that work.

Talk to us

If you’ve got the
research, we’ll build the tool.

We work with universities, TAFEs and not-for-profits on long-term partnerships. Tell us about the practice you’re trying to scale and we’ll figure out whether one of the eight fits, or whether there’s a ninth worth building.

Open partnerships · 2026

What we’re
looking for next.

Two new pilots a year, that’s it. We pick partners by problem fit, not budget.
