Eight cinematic episodes — each sized to complete in a single sitting. Nine civic domains. Hundreds of micro-decisions learners make inside the story. Every episode ends with a verifiable credential that travels with the learner for life. The first two are open as demos on ambivalence.app; the rest ship with an institutional licence.
Each episode tests a different civic competency through a dramatised scenario researched with practitioners. The stories travel; the learning travels with them. Demo episodes are free to try; Licensed episodes are included when your organisation takes Season 1 — see licensing.
A walk through the roots and branches of civic action — from a committee room's polite silences to the hallway debrief that carries the real decision home.
A housing officer navigates the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 one 56-day clock at a time — where compliance, capacity and conscience collide in a single inbox.
Sam follows three blue lines across a city. Then the algorithm changes its mind — and teaches him, his partner Jess, and a transport planner named Aisha what a consultation response actually costs.
A net-zero dashboard freezes at sixty-seven percent. Davies and Sarah discover the 18-month wall between policy intent and resident reality — and the quiet revolt a good evidence log can start.
Jade Okafor has one mission: make the Procurement Act 2023 real inside a council that's still reading the safety instructions. A martial-arts boss progression through opacity, tick-box, lowest-price, silos — and the mirror.
Ren and Sol receive instruments that hum when pointed at assumptions. Four encounters — a Clockmaker, a Bridge-Keeper, a Children's Garden, a covered market — teach zero-based budgeting as an act of perception, not austerity.
Four hundred kilometres up, Maren Voss and Idris Cope turn raw planetary signal into defensible choices. Scenario planning as stress test, not prophecy. Coastal futures as schedule, not doom. Their first multi-voice episode.
Margaret Chen returns — now the one in the chair by the window. Social care told at the pace of a hand on a windowsill: dignity, unpaid care, assessment forms, and what we choose not to write down.
Licensed partners can commission bespoke episodes for a regulatory change, a transformation programme, or a devolution deal. Our production pipeline (ScriptHub → SoundBox → ambivalence) turns a research brief into a shipped episode in weeks, not quarters.
The same pipeline scales to your context: ScriptHub for research and authoring, SoundBox for assembly, and ambivalence for delivery — so a focused team can move from mandate to a published episode in weeks, not quarters.
A devolution deal. A Care Act review. A new strategic framework. If your team needs to learn it in weeks — not a quarter — we can turn your research into a fable.
Licensed organisations issue credentials under their own brand — with DevBot as the verifiable issuer. Your staff walk away with badges that carry your trust and our technical integrity.
