Data Strategy Simulator

What it does

Most data strategy decisions are made on slideware and vendor promises, then discovered to be wrong in production — after the contracts are signed. The Data Strategy Simulator lets you run those decisions as a wargame first.

A deterministic cost engine prices every option against live pricing and your actual workload data — so the dollar figures are grounded, traceable, and reproducible rather than back-of-the-envelope estimates.

LLM agent personas stand in for your employees, simulating how teams will really use — and work around — each tool and policy. You watch adoption, shadow workflows, and governance gaps emerge before they cost you anything.

Run it in virtual mode, where agents reason about decisions, or actual mode, where they operate real tools inside a sandbox — so you can see the difference between what people say they’ll do and what the systems actually do.

The approach

  • Decisions, not dashboards. You model a specific choice — this warehouse versus that one, centralized versus federated governance — and get a ranked, costed answer.
  • Deterministic where it counts. Costs come from a transparent engine over real pricing and workload data — same inputs, same numbers, every time — so finance can trust the model.
  • Behavior, not just blueprints. Agent personas reveal how a design survives contact with real human behavior — the workarounds and adoption gaps a diagram never shows.
  • Two modes, one platform. Reason about a decision in virtual mode, then let agents execute it against real tools in a sandbox in actual mode — escalating fidelity as the stakes rise.

Considering a seven-figure data decision? Wargame it first.
