Scattered signals
Internal messages, public reactions, articles, video content and contextual information: a succession of slides makes it difficult to represent a credible environment.
Multi-channel crisis simulation platform
Train your teams to make decisions under media pressure.
Prepare your scenario, build pressure through simulated social media, news and messages, then analyse your teams' reactions and decisions.

Crisis Input is not offered as a standalone SaaS product: every exercise is co-facilitated with you in a dedicated environment, with no real-world publication.
- 01Information emergesYou define the inject; Crisis Input prepares it with you if needed.
- 02Reactions build upParticipants confront signals and channels staged for the exercise.
- 03A press enquiry arrivesParticipants: coordinate a response.
The starting point
When the exercise remains linear, the decision remains theoretical.
A crisis is built from signals, incomplete information, internal reactions and visible speeches. The exercise needs a context to interpret – then a sequence to analyze.
A tempo difficult to master
An exercise needs a timeline. Certain events are being prepared; others must be able to be triggered or adjusted at the right time.
A debrief that lacks material
Without a structured trace of events, decisions and productions, feedback relies too easily on each person's memories.
The platform
For organizations and professionals who design or lead crisis exercises.
Explore the simulated channels: each tile opens an overview of the participating course and the channel's place in your exercise.

Illustrate a specific cyber case in a fictitious and controlled environment. This channel serves as the narration of the exercise; it does not replicate or trigger an actual attack.
- Victims, timelines and simulated evidence
- Scripted and controlled exchanges
- To be activated only if the scenario justifies it
Beyond the channels, the same platform also connects:
- Separate scenarios & sessions
- Controllable timeline
- Participants & roles
- Decisions & observation
- Debrief & exports
Exercise example
A fictional reputational crisis to be played out minute by minute.
This example illustrates a training objective. It does not describe a client, a real event or a guaranteed outcome.
A video calls a product's safety into question
An unverified clip is circulating on a fictional social network, claiming that one of the organisation's products injured a user. The team must assess the information, coordinate and prepare an appropriate statement.
Participants & roles
- Crisis unit
- Communication
- Operations
- Legal form
Events injected by the facilitator
- Initial post on the fictional social network.
- Public reactions and coverage by a fictional news outlet.
- A journalist's enquiry delivered through the simulated messaging channel.
- New contextual information to share with participants.
Debrief
Review the timeline, the information considered, the decisions made and the responses prepared to identify areas to work on in a future exercise.
Operation
Prepare -> Facilitate -> Debrief
Yes. A scenario can serve as the basis for several distinct sessions. Each session has its own scope of participants, events, activities and debriefs.
Prepare
Send the injects to be introduced, or prepare them jointly with Crisis Input, along with the exercise's roles, channels and signals.
Facilitate
Crisis Input makes the environment available and runs it with you on the day; participants consult the simulated channels and work on their responses.
Debrief
Take a look back at the timeline, participating productions and available evaluations.
Two contexts, one platform
For organizations and professionals who design or lead crisis exercises.
For organizations that train their teams
Crisis management, security, continuity, communication, operations, HR or general management: provide a common framework for your scenario and its feedback.

For companies, consulting firms and trainers. Crisis Input is an exercise environment, not a real-world publishing tool.

FAQ
Questions to ask yourself before an exercise.
Is Crisis Input a real crisis management tool?
No. Crisis Input is a simulation and training platform. It is used to prepare, carry out and debrief an exercise; it does not replace an operational incident management system.
What types of crisis can we simulate?
The platform can structure different types of situations, for example cyber, reputational, operational, HR, product or governance. The scenario and activated channels depend on the exercise you want to prepare for.
Is this reserved for cyber crises?
No. The cyber crisis is a strong use case, notably thanks to the simulated ransomware site, but Crisis Input also makes it possible to work on other crisis situations.
Can we reuse a scenario?
Yes. A scenario can serve as the basis for several distinct sessions. Each session has its own scope of participants, events, activities and debriefs.
Are all channels required?
No. Channels are activated according to the needs of the scenario. You can only prepare the surfaces that serve the scenario.
Can Crisis Input be used as standalone SaaS?
Not at the moment. Crisis Input is used for co-facilitated exercises: you provide the required injects, or prepare them with us, then the environment is made available and managed by Crisis Input on the day of the exercise.
