Eg "Your only senior developer knows the entire code. He just asked for a 200% raise or he leaves."
- Pay
- Fire and hire 2 juniors
- Give equity
I chose give equity and it was "wrong" because they turned out to be a "bad founder". How would I even know that? I hired them in the first place right? And 200% of what? Do I have money to pay them? Am I a startup that is able to pay them or is paying going to risk the entire company?
PS: the "right" answer was "hire 2 junior developers" btw
The content is simplistic and makes sweeping assertions, the correct answer to most questions is "insufficient data".
Its very easy to guess the answer they want (I got it every single time) but in many cases I do not agree it is necessarily the right answer.
A text book would be better, and this convinces me of the value of studying business the conventional way.
OP, get someone who has a clue to write the content and the tests and then you might have something worthwhile
The issue in this context is that there are very few "right" or "wrong" answers in business (there are some) but the vast majority of the decisions you will make in business are pros/cons and weighing the best option at the time. And what works for one business will not work for another.
I've always found quizzes and tests to be a giant waste of time, largely because they have you spend time trying to guess what the "teacher" or material wants you to say rather than what's actually beneficial or useful to what you're trying to accomplish.
A better alternative is to give "projects." Not busywork, but something specific you can do that can actually help you take steps toward launching or growing a business. (Not worksheets, something you can actually use).
Beyond all of this, the information isn't really valuable anyway unless it's coming from someone who has build numerous successful businesses and can provide insight into which pieces they found valuable and which they didn't.
Insight is always way more valuable than conventional wisdom, especially in the realm of business.

As an aside, I think the font sizes and spacing would be better if much smaller/more dense.
I'd look a little more into some of the design strategies, including smoother scrolling for text, better typography design, colors that are easier to read and more focus on the content itself.
Especially if you expect someone to read 20 minutes for an article. Just take a bit of a refresher on techniques for web readability!

One letter of the second title is put on a new line as well in "Transformation".
Looked through 3-4 articles. The content is rather shallow and written in a way that wants to be 'different' and edgy but does not convey any confidence to me.
For those reasons, I'm out.
There should be one (and only one) obvious button to advance the flow at all times. For instance:
* I took the “test” before realizing the topics were clickable.
* after getting a test question right at the end of a section, my “reward” was another wall of text explaining the question I’d just gotten right. Confusing and off-putting.

The writing style is "Watch me jump a motorcycle over fifteen buses! AWESOME!"
The visual style is "DOS app".
-----------------
1. The lessons are written in a flashy, attention-catching way. They could stand to be drier.
2. The "simulation" involves one multiple-choice question. Well, up to one. Here's the combat simulation I was given from https://www.core-mba.pro/course/biz-101/lesson/l3 :
A legacy taxi firm faces extinction from ride-share apps. Instead of lobbying for regulations or cutting fares, they pivot to 'Executive Mobile Offices,' equipping luxury vans with high-speed Wi-Fi and desks for traveling executives. They stop fighting for general transport to create a new category.
[A] Lower fares to undercut ride-share apps
[B] Lobby the government for stricter industry laws
[C] Launch 'Executive Mobile Offices' for productivity
[D] Upgrade current fleet for better fuel efficiency
You might notice that there is no question. We have a case study, and then four multiple-choice "answers". Answers to what, we're not sure.
When there is a question, this format is the same thing you'd find in a textbook, except that the questions in a textbook have been chosen to be instructive and these questions haven't. Why is this beneficial? Content generation means you can generate a large number of questions of varying quality levels. But you only ask one, which removes your only theoretical advantage over a textbook, while imposing severe downsides.
For material that starts with "features don't matter", dynamic question generation sure feels like it was intended to help the marketing team rather than the user.
3. The market simulator reports "missed sales due to low stock" and "staff could not process orders". I find this annoying; if my staff are saturated, I can't be missing any sales due to low stock. It is admittedly useful to have perfect information about how many sales I could make with more staff.
After the "stock" bar is full, I can continue to produce more stock.
The only way to produce stock is to click a button that produces one stock. This should be fixed.
The event 'market downturn: demand collapsed' lasted for one day. This seems unreasonable. Maybe the unit of time should be months.
Does the math feel balanced?
The simulation feels extremely simplistic. If you have unmet demand, hire more workers. If you have idle workers, produce more stock. If you have excess stock, boost ads.
Can a scenario arise where it's not obvious what you should do?
-----------------
There is a typo, "encaging", in one of the early lessons.
Design is slick. I like the sloganeering ticker tape. Wish it had dark mode.
But it trivializes a lot of stuff. Maybe go all in on the satire.

From this you'd think that you can just make up ideas all day and someone will give you money.
