A healthcare organization faced intense media scrutiny following an unexpected service disruption affecting thousands of patients. Initial responses from organizational spokespersons were defensive, inconsistent, and lacked strategic messaging, amplifying the crisis and eroding stakeholder trust during the critical first 48 hours.

The AI simulator recreated high-pressure media scenarios, building confidence through repeated practice in realistic conditions.
