Setting Topics

1. Click Edit to choose the topics you want trainees to discuss during the simulation. This will open the Topics Table.

2. In the table, you can:

   • Add topic: Create new topics for the discussion.

   • Custom: Add a new line to enter any topic manually. For example, entering “Company motto” means the trainee is expected to discuss the company’s motto during the simulation.

3. Click Done when you have finalized your list of topics and their respective weights.

AI Evaluation Guidelines

Evaluation guidelines are automatically generated for each topic when added. They describe how the topic will be analyzed and what the trainee needs to cover to score points. You can edit these guidelines to better reflect your expectations.

• Each evaluation guideline cell includes a Regenerate button (top-right) that can generate alternative guidelines. Press it multiple times for ideas, or enter your own.

Example:

• Topic: “Clarity”

• Evaluation guideline: “To successfully cover this topic, the trainee must clearly explain the product, use simple language, and provide examples.”

• Alternatively, “Clarity” can be broken into sub-criteria: articulation, enunciation, tempo, pauses, breath control, body language, and confidence.

Make or Break Feature

The Make or Break feature allows you to designate critical topics. If a trainee misses any of these topics, their final score will automatically be set to zero. Multiple topics can be designated as Make or Break, giving you flexibility to define essential areas for successful completion.
