Now enrolling founding fire departments

Realistic command training, built in minutes.

Build a scenario, run it live across your whole team's screens, and review an automatic record of every decision. No hardware. No simulator room. Runs in any browser.

Built from a real metro fire-department command-simulator program. Live walkthroughs for founding departments open soon.
The problem

Scenario training works. Building it doesn't.

Everyone agrees rehearsing decisions under pressure makes better commanders. The trouble is standing up the training.

1

Slow

A realistic scenario takes hours — or a vendor content team — to author. The training calendar has moved on by the time it's ready.

2

Costly

Live drills burn a shift. Legacy simulators run into six figures with hardware and live in a single room.

3

Unproven

So teams recycle the same tired drills — and can't show their people are actually ready when it counts.

How it works

From a project to a prompt.

Three steps, all in the browser, no install and no capital purchase.

1

Build

Create a scenario in minutes — lay out the scene by hand, or describe it and let AI generate the whole thing.

2

Run

Launch it live. Your whole team responds from their own screens while the instructor drives the incident.

3

Review

Debrief with an automatic record of every decision and timestamp — the after-action file writes itself.

Why teams choose it

Everything a tabletop isn't.

DecideAhead competes with recycled tabletops and one-off drills — not with six-figure hardware.

Built from a real command-simulator program.

DecideAhead grew out of a major U.S. metro fire department's requirement for a strategic incident-command simulator — a documented, funded need for exactly this: a multi-screen command simulator, a reusable scenario library, and faster authoring. The need was specified by the buyer, not guessed at by a founder.

Generate. Customize. Train.
