The project

You join Tarnmere Digital Ltd (simulated company)

Tarnmere Digital Ltd (simulated company) is a digital transformation consultancy in Sheffield. You help its team deliver a project for Hartwell Logistics Ltd (simulated company), at Finance and HR shared services (programme ticket AIBA-212).

You are the junior business analyst on a programme to add an AI assistant to supplier invoice handling. The Senior Business Analyst gives you a brief, a draft PRD with mistakes in it, a timing sample, a test of 300 invoices and the client's AI policy. Over four weeks you measure the baseline, write testable requirements, answer a sponsor who wants 100 percent accuracy, check outputs against a contract, and handle payroll pasted into a public chatbot. Then you register AI uses by risk, draft a DPIA, review risks, advise on CV ranking, and find that a model update has broken the pilot's guardrail.

The people in the story are roles, such as Lead Engineer, not real people.

What you will do

By the end you will have

  • Measure a baseline, build the return on investment and write requirements with acceptance criteria for model behaviour
  • Answer a sponsor who demands 100 percent accuracy with an error rate, a guardrail and a human check
  • Check an AI output against a JSON contract and an AI summary against its source, and find the invented clause
  • Classify AI uses by EU AI Act tier in plain words, draft a DPIA and review a risk register
  • Handle payroll data pasted into a public chatbot, a CV ranking request and a model update that breaks a guardrail

Questions

Quick answers

Do I need to know AI or code?

No. This role is about requirements, evidence and judgement. The tasks are checked as numbers, decisions and writing, and a spreadsheet is enough for every calculation.

Is this a real company and a real assistant?

No. Tarnmere Digital and Hartwell Logistics are made-up, the suppliers are invented and the data is synthetic with planted problems. The documents, tickets and situations follow what a junior business analyst meets on a real AI programme.

Is the EU AI Act and data protection content legal advice?

No. It is a plain-words introduction for a junior analyst. In real work you ask your Data Protection Officer or a lawyer when a use is near a boundary, and the simulation teaches you to do that.

How long does it take?

The free week is about ten hours of work spread over five days. The full Premium edition runs over twenty working days and roughly thirty to forty hours, at your own pace.

What do I get at the end?

A work record with your scores by task and skill, which shows on your EDWartens profile under Work experience, marked as a job simulation.

Is the AI Business Analyst job simulation free?

Yes, to start. Days 1 to 5 are free. The certificate and the Premium edition are optional and are priced on this page in your currency.

Does it count as work experience?

It shows on your EDWartens profile under Work experience, marked as a job simulation. It is not employment. A job simulation is a realistic training project at a simulated company. It is not employment, an internship or a work placement. Hours are active hours the learner logged on EDWartens.
