EXERCISE PLANNER

Crisis exercise planner: re-rank the platforms on your own priorities

THE SHORT ANSWER

Move the sliders to weight what your exercise programme needs, and the nine platforms re-rank instantly using our criterion scores. Filters narrow the list to platforms whose public pages document what you require. No price calculation is offered, because only one platform publishes a full price list for its exercise product.

Only Conducttr publishes complete licence prices for its exercise product, and the other six do not price theirs, so a cost-per-exercise figure would be guesswork. The planner works on scores and documented facts instead.

Presets

Your weights

Scenario realism20

Does the scenario come from the organisation's own environment and threats, and does it react to each decision instead of following a script?

Executive and board focus20

Is the exercise built for executives, the board, legal and communications, alongside the technical responders, rather than only for the security team?

Exercise delivery effort15

How much preparation, facilitation and scheduling does one exercise take, and so how often can a team realistically run one? A higher score means less effort.

Measurement and after-action reporting15

What does the exercise measure, and what report or record comes out at the end?

Regulatory evidence10

Can the results be shown to a regulator, auditor or board against named frameworks and rules?

Customisation10

How far can the organisation shape the scenario, injects, roles and playbooks itself?

Pricing clarity10

Is a price for the exercise product published that a buyer can budget against before a sales call?

Re-weighted total = sum of (criterion score × your weight) ÷ sum of your weights. Scores are our editorial scores from 0 to 10; weights are yours.

Scores are editorial assessments from public sources read between 27 September and 13 October 2026. Prices are as published on the read dates shown.

Frequently asked questions

How should I set the weights?

Start from the decision you most need to rehearse. If a supervisor asks for evidence, raise regulatory evidence and after-action reporting; if your last exercise felt scripted, raise scenario realism; if you cannot get executives into a room, raise delivery effort and executive focus.

Why is there no cost calculator?

Eight of the nine platforms do not publish prices for their exercise product, so any cost figure would be an estimate. Conducttr's four licences are listed on its profile.

Do the presets change the scores?

No. Presets only set the weights. Every criterion score and reason stays as published on the rankings page.

Is my configuration saved?

Only in the page address. The planner stores nothing in your browser or on a server.
