CYBRARY Rehearse the calls. Explain the reasons. Fix what you find.
Leaders and incident leads work a timed ransomware crisis together. Every decision records why it was made, who owns it and what would change it, and the debrief turns that into an improvement list.
Watch a Crisis Sim walkthrough
A recorded walkthrough of the real product: scenario library, Studio, the war room and facilitator board, the presenter screen and graded role-play.
Draft from a playbook or a blank page, review AI text patches, check branches and publish a pinned version.
Lobby with host admission, votes separate from commits, deputy takeover and a big-screen presenter view.
Answer one seat's decisions in your own words and get graded on every finished turn, with reviewer override.
Executive, participant and facilitator reports, remediation actions with retests, and a manager readiness view.
- 01Prepare
A pre-brief and a private role brief for each seat before the clock starts.
- 02Rehearse
Injects arrive on a clock the host can pause; people rejoin if they drop.
- 03Explain decisions
Each call records the reason, the evidence used, an owner and a revisit condition.
- 04Debrief
A PDF report of the timeline, the reasons and what each choice led to.
- 05Assign improvements
Owners and follow-ups are collected into one action list to re-exercise against.
Only what the team has earned to see
Participants see facts once they are revealed; later injects and facilitator notes stay off their screens. Access is invite-only, with expiring codes and a deputy host.

Runnable procedures
Change a procedure, rehearse it, keep the result as evidence
Your incident procedure becomes roles, ordered steps, what each seat may do and who must approve. Every new version is flagged for a Crisis Sim rehearsal, each step is scored on time, late, skipped or missing its approval, and readiness is tracked version by version.
For leaders
Is our plan getting better?
- Readiness per procedure version, with the change that moved it
- A dated record of every rehearsal to share with the board
- See which approvals slow the response before a real incident does
For responders
What do I do, and when?
- Your steps, your seat and the minute each one is due
- Exactly what you're allowed to do, and who has to sign off
- Rehearse the version you'll actually use, not last year's
1. Write or paste
Build steps by hand, or paste your runbook and Forge AI proposes them. A person approves.
2. New version
Every change is a new version with a step-by-step diff, and admins are told a rehearsal is due.
3. Rehearse
Link a Crisis Sim room: each seat ticks its own steps on the room clock and approvers sign off in the room.
4. Score
On time, late, skipped or missing approval — scored the same way every time, no AI in the score.
5. Evidence
Readiness per version, so you can see whether the change helped.
- Roles, permissions and approvals on every step
- Versioned, with a diff of what changed
- Rehearsal flagged on every new version
- Deterministic step scoring — no AI in the score
- Readiness trend across versions
- AI only drafts; a person approves
Rehearsed in Crisis Sim: your team plays the run, and each step of the procedure is ticked and scored.
Rehearsal results come from an emulated exercise. They show readiness, not proof of a real-world response.
