Deliberate Practice for Dispute Resolution

Train for real-world conflict before it happens.

AI-powered simulations that let mediators, students, and conflict professionals practice difficult conversations, build judgment through repetition, and track measurable skill growth.

How It Works

Choose a scenario. Practice the conversation. Get better.

1

Select a Dispute

Browse scenarios by type, difficulty, and skill focus. Workplace tension, community mediation, trust rupture, difficult personalities. Each one drawn from real-world patterns.

2

Engage the Simulation

Navigate a realistic conversation with AI parties who have distinct personalities, hidden interests, and emotional triggers. They respond to your tone, your timing, and your choices.

3

Debrief & Improve

Receive structured feedback on what worked, what didn't, and what to try next. Scored across nine mediation-specific competencies. Track your growth over time.

Characters that feel real because they're modeled on real disputes.

AI parties exhibit defensiveness, misunderstanding, emotional escalation, and the capacity to soften when handled skillfully. They don't follow scripts. They respond to how you show up.

Complications emerge mid-session. Power imbalances surface. Hidden interests reveal themselves only if you ask the right questions. Just like the real thing.

Workplace Mediation — Manager/Employee Trust Breakdown
Sarah (Employee)
I've asked three times for clarification on my role and every time I get a different answer. I don't feel like my concerns are being taken seriously.
James (Manager)
That's not fair. I've been trying to give her flexibility, not confusion. She takes everything as a personal attack.
You (Mediator)

Built for how mediation is actually taught.

Universities, ADR institutes, mediation centers, and professional training organizations need more than a simulator. They need a platform that fits into how they already run cohorts.

ConflictDojo is designed around the instructor-learner relationship, not just the individual practitioner.

The hardest conversations deserve the most practice.

Mediators spend years learning theory. ConflictDojo gives them a place to build the reflexes, judgment, and composure that only come from repetition. Deliberate practice, anytime, with feedback that makes every session count.
