Interactive.li

Bringing the models behind public decisions within everyone's reach.

Interactive.li turns the models behind energy, economic, environmental and health policy into live sessions in which participants take the decisions themselves, compare their results, and see the trade-offs each choice involves.

Energy, economic, environmental and health policy all rest on models that are detailed, costly to run and, in practice, the preserve of specialists — invisible to the people the decisions affect. Interactive.li puts an interactive layer in front of such models, whatever the subject. Small groups work from their own phones: briefed on a challenge, they discuss it and submit a decision, which the model answers in the terms that matter for that field — cost, risk, emissions, health outcomes, the reactions of those involved. Groups compare results, then debrief. Each element earns its place: simulation lets people learn by doing instead of being told what follows; game mechanics — objectives, rules, scoring, teams — focus discussion and reward cooperation; generative AI turns a roomful of responses into something a facilitator can use on the spot. Nothing here predicts the future or names a right answer. What participants leave with is a sense of the constraints, and of what every choice gains and gives up. In post-workshop surveys they rated the format more engaging and more effective than a conventional lecture.

Simulations

A growing set of ready-to-run simulations, each built on a working model and delivered live — from briefing and group discussion through to a shared debriefing.

  • Beyond CoalPDF

    Design the future electricity mix of a coal-dependent country, then submit it to an energy-system optimiser that reports back on cost, emissions and reliability — and shows how hard all three are to secure at once.

  • GenerationsPDF

    Steer a decades-long programme to site a deep geological repository for radioactive waste, with stakeholder groups simulated by a language model responding at every stage. Points are won by meeting expectations; a single veto ends the programme.

  • Epidemic Crisis ManagerPDF

    Act as a regional policymaker containing a fast-spreading outbreak, with linked epidemiological and economic models showing round by round what each measure buys and what it costs.
