Why it exists

Knowing the answer isn't the same as diagnosing the plant.

Traditional instructionLearn Test Grade
OT-PraxisObserve Investigate Decide Verify

OT-Praxis turns a learner's decisions into an inspectable trail of evidence, authority, consequences, reflection, and transfer—not another multiple-choice result.

What it measures

Measure how learners think—not only what they remember.

01

Evidence

Gather the right facts before acting.

02

Diagnosis

Separate symptoms from causal layers.

03

Safety

Respect authority and operating boundaries.

04

AI judgment

Verify confident recommendations.

05

Communication

Coordinate people with different priorities.

06

Recovery

Prove restoration and reduce recurrence.

For education and industry

Repeated practice for roles where decisions have physical consequences.

College programs

Scenario-based practice for cybersecurity, networking, automation, and mechatronics courses.

Workforce development

Applied decision training for apprenticeships, CTE, and incumbent-worker cohorts.

Industrial teams

A safe environment for troubleshooting, AI-verification, and cross-functional practice.

Three practical questions

Built to complement the program you already have.

Read the methodology or review the research foundation.

Does a school need an industrial lab?

No. Learners practice inside a fictional factory without connecting to live production equipment.

Does AI grade the learner?

No. AI can portray stakeholders and offer advice, but recorded actions and versioned deterministic rules calculate the score.

Does OT-Praxis replace existing curriculum?

No. It adds realistic decision practice and observable competency evidence to courses and labs schools already teach.

Faculty demonstration

See how your students make decisions—not just how they answer questions.

A focused 20-minute walkthrough of the learner experience, deterministic evidence model, faculty reporting, and pilot fit.
