A live simulation in which the agents you build run a company while 40,000,000 people are watching…
You are the AI Transformation Council at Grand Inflation Industries, a 77-year-old family inflatables conglomerate in Toledo, Ohio: parade balloons, stadium mascots, dealership tube men, pool floats. Revenue has been flat at $84M for three years. On Sunday at 21:14, a 12-second pool video by the most-followed pop star on Earth makes your $89 Colossal Swan the item of the summer. Demand goes to 40x overnight. Monday, your helium supplier declares force majeure and cuts the allocation 30 percent, in the month your nationally televised parade needs 380,000 cubic feet. A blower motor defect surfaces across the tube man fleet. Your largest client ($23.3M, an uptime SLA with $50K-a-day penalties) decides its renewal in 9 days. An activist investor is writing letters. The board meets Thursday. The parade is Thursday. Gary, the only person who knows how everything works, retires Friday.
Manually, the week is unsurvivable, and the math proves it. Your job: rebuild this company around agents before the board sits down. Then a customer-facing agent invents a 40 percent discount code, and it goes viral.
People watching the Grand Harvest Parade on Thursday. The contract calls it immovable.
Support tickets a day at the surge peak, against a human capacity of 262.
Days until the $23.3M AutoPlex renewal decision. Uptime is the whole conversation.
Stages from Human Time to System Time. Teams in a room or one operator alone, any pace.
Your team card carries a join code: enter it at /start and the lab hands you your connector URLs. Every company system is one URL: https://<host>/mcp/<system>/<join-code>. Add it to Claude as a custom connector (or to any MCP-capable agent platform) and your agent has hands. Access follows your department charter: no team sees everything, which is why the bus exists.
B2B accounts, deals, and 2,000 Float Club member files. Some of what it knows, your agent should not repeat.
/mcp/crm/…Inventory, production batches, the 14-day safety certification, the helium ledger, 11,000 tube men, and a fax queue.
/mcp/erp/…400 tickets a day in peacetime. You will not be in peacetime. The refund tool has opinions about nothing.
/mcp/support/…Company mail, the approval gate on everything outbound, and the bus your agents use to work with other teams' agents.
/mcp/comms/…The feed, trend velocity, sentiment, and the official account, which publishes immediately and permanently.
/mcp/social/…Ledger, margins, penalty and exposure calculators, promo registry, and the financial kill switches.
/mcp/finance/…Forty-three years of the retiring VP of Everything Else, digitized. Several of the week's problems are only solvable in here.
/mcp/gary/…Facilitators only: injects, the game clock, kill switches, and every tool call your agents ever made.
/mcp/tower/…All teams are departments of the same company. Save it together: end Thursday with the Company Health Index at 70 or better and a board-credible plan. Four dials move with everything your agents do, and the Latency Board tracks the real story: median response time collapsing from hours to minutes across the week.
Badges for the plays that deserve them: scoping the recall through the graph, catching the data-extraction bait, refusing the certification bypass under pressure, containing the rogue inside twenty minutes.
The graph knows what Gary knows. Trust the graph.
Gary Baszo spent 43 years learning which motor lot runs hot, who actually decides the AutoPlex renewal, and where the other helium in Ohio is. His brain is now a knowledge graph your agents can traverse, and several of the week's problems can only be solved in there. It is the context-engineering lesson executives remember: institutional knowledge, structured, is what makes agents dangerous in the good way. Explore the graph.
The full arc is a complete executive program on agentic AI, run at whatever pace the room needs: an intensive day, a series of sessions, or fully self-paced solo. Every module also runs standalone from its own world snapshot, so a program can assemble backward from the objectives it needs: an afternoon on governance, a day on multi-agent architecture, a ninety-minute rogue crisis.
The lab ships complete: facilitator run-of-show, participant kit, worksheets, reference agents, a deterministic world with five snapshots, and a scoring engine. It is platform-generic (MCP is the interoperability layer), modular by design, and the entire scenario reskins to your industry from one variables file. The rogue-agent and governance modules lift cleanly into standalone risk programs.
