A professional, local-first environment for the analysis and simulation of curriculum coherence, workload distribution, and professional capability development.
Phase: Phase 1 — Curriculum Spine
Role: Simulates curriculum behavior by modeling student workload, assessment congestion, and skill growth trajectories.
Upstream Inputs: Structural curriculum data from the Curriculum Alignment & Mapping Engine.
Downstream Outputs: Provides behavioral risk signals and scenario delta reporting to the Programme Governance Dashboard.
Does NOT:
- Define the baseline structural alignment of outcomes and assessments.
- Manage institutional governance workflows or individual human-AI decision records.
The Curriculum Simulation Tool is designed for programme teams, curriculum designers, and academic leadership to model and visualize high-fidelity curriculum scenarios. It provides deterministic modelling of student strain (workload), assessment variety, and competency scaffolding, supporting structured simulation and informed academic oversight.

- Scenario Comparison: Side-by-side analysis of Baseline vs Modified scenarios with impact delta calculation.
- Governance Transparency: Transparent simulation methodology and risk signals.
- Student Persona Modelling: Toggle between different study profiles (Full-time, Part-time, Intensive) to stress-test your curriculum.
- Skill Trajectory Modelling: Apply global growth models (Linear, Accelerated, Plateau) to visualize professional competency attainment.
- Automated Risk Detection: Detect workload spikes and assessment clustering automatically.
The tool uses the following default thresholds for structural risk detection:
- Overload Peak: > 45 hours total weekly workload.
- Workload Spike: > 15 hours increase in workload between adjacent weeks.
- Sustained Intensity: 3+ consecutive weeks of high (>35h) or overload intensity.
- Assessment Congestion: 3 or more assessment deadlines in a single week (Critical).
- High-Stakes Cluster: Combined weight of assessments in a single week exceeds 50% (Critical).
- Limited Diversity: Fewer than 3 unique evaluation methods across the programme.
- Linear: Mastery increases by 20% per module exposure.
- Accelerated: Exponential mastery compounding (Practice leads to rapidly faster gains).
- Plateau: Rapid initial exposure benefits followed by diminishing returns at higher levels.

This tool supports both AI capability development and lightweight governance.
- Capability is developed through structured interaction with real workflows
- Governance is supported through optional fields that make assumptions, risks, and decisions visible
All governance inputs are optional and designed to support — not constrain — professional judgement.
- Node.js (v18+)
- npm or pnpm
