How it works with the Mobile CAVE
Match your priority to a discipline.
- A 20-minute conversationTell us your priority. We start with what stops people from training more.
- Match it to a disciplineEach of the seven sub-projects is a discipline with its own aligned program.
- A pilot with a measured resultOne team, one scenario. What to measure is agreed before it starts.
- Honest reportingTime spent practicing in a simulation is recorded separately from skills an instructor has checked hands-on. Only totals are shown publicly.
These reporting rules come from the AM Lab plan. Funders and employers need to see the difference between what was practiced and what was proven.
