Editorial verdict
Buy it if you have an exercise designer and want control of every inject; look elsewhere for a cyber-specific, one-click exercise.

6-1What does Conducttr do?
Conducttr gives exercise designers the tools to build and run a crisis: a scenario editor, templates, and a virtual desktop that shows each player the crisis from a first-person point of view, with simulated social media, news feeds and communication channels. Facilitators control role-specific content during play. LISA, an AI assistant, generates draft exercises from text.
6-2Who is it built for?
Organizations with someone whose job includes designing exercises: corporate crisis teams, consultancies that run exercises for clients, defence and security organizations. It suits a cyber scenario but is not specialized for one.
6-3What does it cost?
Conducttr publishes four annual team licences, from Raven at £11,950 to Eagle at £25,725, each supporting up to 40 participants per session. Higher tiers add participant exploration, role play, OSINT-style tools (InfoMap, Social Watch), SSO and API. Behavioural assessment is a paid add-on. It scores 10 of 10 on pricing transparency, the only perfect score on that criterion.
6-4What are the caveats?
- No technical hands-on training (1 of 10).
- Effort to run scores 5: you design the exercise.
- Not cyber-specific.
6-5How does it score on each criterion?
Simulates the information environment around the players: social media, news and messaging, with role-specific content under facilitator control.
Runs from one team to 1,000+ simultaneous teams, in person, online or hybrid.
Real-time analytics and central reporting; quantitative behavioural assessment is a paid add-on.
You design and run the exercise in the Scenario Editor, with an AI assistant (LISA) drafting it; closer to exercise design than one click.
No technical hands-on training.
Template library through Conducttr Worlds; general crisis content, not cyber-specific.
Four licences published, £11,950 to £25,725 a year, each for up to 40 participants per session.
