Role-plays don't
scale.

Every mediator needs hundreds of hours of practice. The traditional approach gives them five. Scheduling, actor fees, and logistics eat budgets whole — while trainees graduate underprepared.

“Finally, a way to give students 100x more practice without hiring actors.”
— Mediation Program Director
Scheduling

One session per student, per semester

Coordinating actors, rooms, and schedules limits each trainee to a handful of reps. Most graduate with fewer than 10 real practice sessions.

Consistency

Quality depends entirely on who's in the room

Different actors, different energy, different feedback. Students from the same cohort get completely different training experiences.

Feedback

No objective scoring exists

Real mediations are confidential. There's no recording, no rubric, no way to measure skill growth over time. Practitioners fly blind for years.

Cost

$1,300 per student for traditional training

Actor fees, facilitation, and venue costs make quality role-play training prohibitively expensive to scale across an entire program.

How real mediations
actually work

Settl is the only platform that replicates full multi-room mediation dynamics. Parties remember everything across rooms. Deadlocks form. Settlements emerge — or don't.

Parties never hear each other. You control what flows between rooms. Move too fast and trust collapses. Too slow and the window closes. That's the skill Settl trains.

From case file
to scorecard.

A complete simulation run takes 20–30 minutes. The scorecard arrives the moment you finish.

01

Pick your case

Workplace harassment. Slip-and-fall PI. Divorce property. Business dissolution. 50+ scenarios across five practice areas — each with full backstories and party profiles.

02

Start the simulation

Live avatar + voice conversation, no script. AI parties interrupt, get defensive, make unreasonable demands — just like real clients. The joint session opens cold.

03

Work the rooms

Move between joint and private caucuses. Control information flow. Test reality. Break impasse. The parties remember every word you've said.

04

Get your scorecard

Instant rubric feedback across six professional competencies — with exact transcript quotes showing where you excelled and where you lost the room.

When Kim said “I just don't feel safe,” you moved on without acknowledgment. Reflecting that emotion here would have opened the door to interests. Score gap: reframing −12 pts.
