Somewhere on your SharePoint right now there's a 70-slide deck your VP of Sales narrated in 2022. People still quote lines from it. The objection-handling section, the part about reading a champion's energy in a renewal call — your team remembers the moment they heard it. Nobody can practice it.
The training content is good. The format is what's failing you.
This post is for the training owner staring at a catalog of legacy decks and recorded calls and wondering whether AI-augmented training is realistic on the budget and timeline they actually have. We work the way you need a development partner to work: we take what you already have, we apply adult learning principles your team already believes in, and we deliver a deployable module in two weeks.
What "two weeks" actually means
Two weeks from kickoff to a SCORM package sitting in your LMS sandbox. Not "two weeks of build effort spread over a quarter." Not "two weeks once we finish discovery." Two business weeks, calendar.
If we miss it, the engagement is free. That commitment is in the SOW.
What you get at the end
A core training module that includes:
- One to three scored AI conversation simulations — the learner has a multi-turn conversation with an AI persona (the difficult customer, the price-objecting prospect, the struggling direct report), tied to your scenario library
- A scoring rubric — explicit, human-authored, shown to learners before they start; no black-box scoring
- A knowledge-check track — 20-40 scored items mapped to your competency framework
- A SCORM 1.2/2004 or LTI 1.3 package — drops into Cornerstone, Docebo, Workday Learning, Articulate Storyline, or any standards-compliant LMS
- An operator guide for your L&D team
- Source files — personas, rubric, SCORM bridge, all yours on delivery; no vendor lock-in
What your team does during the two weeks
| Day | What happens | Your team's time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kickoff workshop. We walk your existing content slide-by-slide with your SME, flagging what becomes simulation versus knowledge check. We draft the scoring rubric in the session — we have rubric patterns for the common training types so it isn't a blank-page exercise. | 3 hours |
| 2-4 | We author persona prompts and build the first simulation. By end of day 4 you can run it in a browser. | 1 hour (review) |
| 5 | Stakeholder review. Your team plays the simulation, scoring gets calibrated, persona tone gets adjusted to match your culture. | 2 hours |
| 6-9 | We build the remaining simulations and the knowledge-check track. Mid-point review on day 7. | 2 hours |
| 10 | SCORM/LTI packaging. Integration test in your sandbox LMS. Source-file handoff. Module is live. | 1 hour |
Nine hours of your team's time across two weeks. The rest is us.
The inputs we work best with
We work with whatever you have. The cleaner the source, the closer to the two-week mark.
- Slide decks with speaker notes. The notes are where the simulation lives. Slides without notes still work, but day 1 takes longer.
- Recorded calls or videos with transcripts. Gong, Chorus, Zoom, Otter all export cleanly. We extract the moments worth practicing.
- Existing SCORM packages. We unpack them, lift the assessments, and rebuild as scored simulations.
- Written playbooks, SOPs, scripts. Clean text is the easiest input.
What slows us down: scattered source files across multiple drives, no SME availability in week 1, ambiguous scoring criteria (the rubric is the hardest part of any module), or content that triggers a legal or compliance review mid-build.
Where adult learning principles show up in the build
This isn't just "the old deck, but with AI." The two-week build applies the principles you already believe in: a 90-second intake at the start so the module reorders to the learner's gaps; scenarios pulled from the learner's role; the simulation IS the learning experience rather than a quiz after the video; mastery-based scoring with unlimited retries; transparent rubrics; problem-centered design.
If your existing module is a click-through video, the new module is a different kind of experience that happens to deliver the same content.
Pricing
Fixed fee per delivered module. A typical core module — three simulations plus a knowledge-check track, up to 500 learners — lands in the low-to-mid five figures. No SaaS license. No monthly retainer. No per-seat fees. A second module is a second engagement, same fixed-fee terms.
The first conversation
Three paths:
- 15-minute discovery call via https://learningdevelopment.solutions — we look at one specific module in your catalog and tell you whether it's a good candidate for a two-week build
- Free 5-page NDA-gated proposal — written analysis of one module, sample persona, fixed-fee delivery quote
- Free preview service — send us a slice of your current module; we return a preview of select slides showing what the revamped version would look like
There's no commercial commitment until you sign a Statement of Work.
