One lesson · Edexcel 9BS0 · about 60 to 75 minutes
A one-hour Business lesson that marks the writing for you.
Your students found a cafe in London, set the rent, price the menu, hire the team, then run its first year and defend every decision in writing. Vic, the on-screen mentor, coaches every answer against the exam skills. You read the writing and confirm the grade, never a computer.

What your students do
Found it, run it, defend it.
The whole arc fits one lesson. Every choice is a real trade-off, and every choice has to be justified in the student's own words.
Part 1 · Founding
Build the business
Name it, pick a position, choose a London site, hire a team, set the price and marketing mix, then prove the break-even. Seven decisions, each written up.
Part 2 · Year 1
The market answers
The doors open and the year trades. A piece of breaking news lands and the student decides how to respond. Their founding choices come home, with no do-overs.
Part 3 · Boardroom
The verdict
A draft report reads back their reasoning against AO1 to AO4 and shows where to sharpen it. The grade is their thinking, and you confirm it from the writing.
Every decision is defended in writing. Vic reads each answer and pushes back with one sharper question, coaching AO1 to AO4 without ever handing over the mark.
The report is an automated first read, not a grade. It maps how each exam skill showed up and hands you the student's own words, so you set the final grade from the writing.
Why teachers use it
Exam-aligned, and you stay in control.
Built for Edexcel A level Business (9BS0). Designed to save you an evening, not to replace your judgement.
