Why Top Training Organizations Choose Citadel
Custom Directives & Video Guides
Embed your own video walkthroughs, YouTube masterclasses, and rich markdown syllabus notes into each scenario node. Guide your fellows without coding a separate LMS.
Autonomous Socratic Gatekeeper
Zara AI evaluates students in real-time using strict SCQA and SQL logic. She challenges weak reasoning, catches copy-pasting, and guides fellows toward defensible executive memos.
Direct Cohort Email & Analytics
One-click broadcast announcements directly to fellow inboxes. Track student progression, export transcripts and CSV grades, and preview any fellow's active terminal workstation.
Zero Syllabus Changes. Instant Live-Fire Finishing School.
You already teach SQL, Python, and data fundamentals. Citadel plugs into the final 21 days of your degree, bootcamp, or apprenticeship as an automated crisis capstone. Your instructors save 15+ hours/week of grading burnout, while your fellows graduate with tamper-proof SHA-256 cryptographic proofs that employers can verify on-chain.
The Defensible 4-Node Scoring Rubric
Every fellow flight is graded against strict, non-hallucinatory evaluation criteria enforced by distinct multi-agent evaluator personas and deterministic DuckDB test suites.
| Evaluation Node | Assessment Weight | Core Defense Standard | Evaluator Agent Persona |
|---|---|---|---|
| Node 1: SCQA Problem Framing | 25% | Isolates financial blast radius, prevents premature coding, and defuses hostile stakeholder demands before schema touch. | Corporate VP / CFO Persona |
| Node 2: DuckDB Data Forge | 35% | Eliminates Cartesian fan-outs, enforces strict decimal precision, handles dirty schema drift, and executes within memory limits. | Lead Data Architect Persona |
| Node 3: The Saboteur Event | 20% | Defuses mid-sprint chaos (API contract breaks, unkeyed joins, Base64 leaks, corrupted ledgers) under a live ticking clock. | Adversarial System SRE |
| Node 4: Executive Defense | 20% | Formulates bottom-line financial ROI using the Minto Pyramid Principle without technical rambling or hedging. | Boardroom Reviewer |
“All repository auto-commits are fully opt-in. Enterprise and institutional tenants can configure private repository routing or air-gapped local exports to ensure zero student code leaks.”

Everything you need to know before onboarding your cohort.
How does the 14-Day Free Pilot work?
You immediately receive an enterprise tenant, vanity URL, and 1 pilot cohort with up to 30 fellows. No credit card or upfront contract required. You can test custom directives, assign scenarios, and review student telemetry for 14 days before deciding on a cohort pass or retainer.
Can we use our own curriculum and datasets?
Yes. You can override database schemas, upload custom CSV/Parquet files, attach YouTube walkthroughs, and author custom grading rubrics for Zara AI to enforce.
How do fellows sign into our cohort?
Every cohort receives a 1-click sovereign sign-in link (e.g., /c/your-tenant?cohort=1). Fellows authenticate with Google or GitHub, and are automatically enrolled into your cohort without manual roster invites.
