Train judgement under pressure.
Butterfly helps defence, humanitarian, and security-facing organisations build interactive scenario training for complex decisions, unclear information, and consequence-based learning.
Realistic dilemmas
Build scenarios around unclear information, competing priorities, time pressure, and consequences that unfold over time.
Judgement under pressure
Move beyond recall-based learning and explore how participants interpret rules, context, risk, and responsibility.
Instructor insight
Use choices, timing, confidence, reflection answers, and branch progression to support concrete debriefs.
From fixed production to living training.
High-quality defence training scenarios can take significant time and budget to create. But once they are launched, changing the wording, adjusting a dilemma, adding a new branch, or adapting the scenario for another audience can be slow, expensive, or sometimes impossible.
Butterfly is built to make scenario training easier to maintain after launch. The experience can be updated, translated, measured, and improved without treating every change as a new production.
Gone are the days where serious training has to be big, locked, and hard to move.
Update after launch
Adjust wording, dilemmas, choices, and learning paths without rebuilding the whole experience from scratch.
Measure what happens
Move beyond completion. See how participants decide, where they hesitate, and what needs a stronger debrief.
Translate and adapt faster
Create new language versions and audience-specific adaptations without managing every layer as a separate production.
Grounded in humanitarian, defence and high-consequence training.
Butterfly collaborates with Vincent Sautenet, founder of Phoenix Aegis, as a strategic partner for humanitarian, defence and high-consequence training environments.
Vincent brings experience in international humanitarian law, operational training, decision-making under pressure and scenario-based learning. His perspective helps ensure that scenarios are not only interactive, but credible, ethically grounded and relevant to the realities participants may face.
Through Phoenix Aegis, Vincent combines training design, behavioural readiness and strategic engagement with humanitarian, defence and public-sector organisations. This helps bridge the gap between platform, content and operational relevance.
Defence decisions rarely arrive as clean theory.
Rules, doctrine, and legal frameworks are essential. But training also has to prepare people for the moments where the situation is unclear, time is limited, and the consequences are human.
Butterfly is built for that space: realistic dilemmas, active choices, timed decisions, reflection, and instructor insight that makes the debrief more concrete.
Analytics should match the mission, not the other way around.
Data collection can be configured around each client’s needs: anonymous participation, cohort-level insight, instructor dashboards, export options, or more detailed analysis where appropriate.
Combined with operational expertise from partners such as Phoenix Aegis, Butterfly’s analytics can be connected to scenarios that are credible, ethically grounded and useful for instructor-led debriefing.
Identification, access, retention, and reporting should be decided with the client and shaped around privacy, security, and data sovereignty requirements.
Built for
Training areas where judgement matters.
How a project can work
Start with one dilemma. Build from there.
Start with the training need
We define the audience, training objective, decision moments, legal or operational frame, and what instructors need to understand afterwards.
Shape the scenario logic
The scenario is mapped as a decision path: what participants see, what choices they make, what consequences follow, and where reflection is needed.
Configure data and access
Analytics, identification, retention, and reporting are adapted to the client’s privacy, security, and data sovereignty requirements.
Deploy and debrief
Participants complete the scenario individually or in a group setting. Instructors use the outputs to guide discussion and after-action review.
Design a scenario around your training need.
A defence project can begin with one focused dilemma, one cohort, and one concrete debrief goal.
