u/CapUnlikely

Viva prep shouldn't depend on whether your supervisor has time for a mock.

I've heard some people get two practice runs with their panel. Others get none. A lot of people are doing it alone with their thesis and a lot of anxiety, and if you can't afford a viva coach (they charge £100 to £300 a session???) you're mostly on your own.

I built something to close that gap. You upload your thesis and it reads it. It's a proper conversation, not a generic question bank or Q&A. "Dr. Eleanor Marsh" is a bespoke viva examiner who reads your thesis and examines you on your actual arguments, methodology, and conclusions. You can run it as many times as you need before your viva. Run it until your defence becomes second nature.

Happy to answer any questions about how it works

Built a RICS APC panel simulator

The hardest part of the final assessment isn't knowing the competencies. It's being questioned on them by someone who won't accept a vague answer.

I built PanelReady to fix that. It simulates the full final assessment panel mandatory competencies, technical questions, scored feedback on every answer. It pushes back. It doesn't let you get away with a rehearsed monologue.

Free trial at getpanelready.co.uk. Worth 20 minutes before your next mock.

We design and build custom simulation environments for assessment, training, and evaluation.

Whether you need an interview simulation, technical assessment, PhD panel, assessment centre exercise, training scenario, or a completely bespoke evaluation workflow, I can create a solution tailored to your requirements.

Unlike generic chatbots, these environments are designed to replicate exactly how real-world assessments behave through dynamic questioning, adaptive follow-ups, structured scoring, and realistic evaluation criteria.

Interview simulations

Technical assessments

Graduate scheme evaluations

PhD and academic panels

Assessment centre exercises

Training and capability development scenarios

AI interviewer and assessor personas

Custom scoring frameworks

My background in Robotics and Systems Engineering allows me to design assessment environments as complete systems rather than simple question-and-answer tools.

Suitable for organisations, universities, training providers, careers services, coaching businesses, and employers.
