Re-attempt a scenario

A re-attempt is the second swing at a scenario you’ve already engaged with — typically after reflection has surfaced something you want to try differently. It is not a fix-up. Both attempts stay on your record.

Why re-attempt

Reflection is the part of the loop where insight shows up. If your reflection produced a clear “I’d handle that opening differently”, the re-attempt is where you find out whether the new approach works in the same situation.

It’s not about getting a better verdict. It’s about closing the loop between noticing and doing.

When it makes sense

  • Your reflection named a specific change you’d make.
  • The scenario exercises a dimension you’re trying to grow.
  • Your trainer has suggested a re-attempt as a follow-up.

It does not make sense as a way to redo a verdict you didn’t like. The first attempt stays visible. The trainer sees the pair side by side; that’s part of the evidence.

How to re-attempt

  1. Open the engagement detail for the scenario you finished.
  2. Once the engagement is closed and your reflection is in, the Re-attempt action becomes available.
  3. Press it. A fresh engagement starts, linked to the original in your history.

The two engagements live next to each other on your record. The AI opens fresh; it doesn’t carry context from the first attempt — that would defeat the purpose.

When something goes wrong

  • Re-attempt isn’t available. Two common reasons: your trainer hasn’t enabled re-attempts for this scenario, or you haven’t completed the reflection step on the first attempt yet. Finish the reflection first.
  • The new attempt feels identical. That’s a signal — either the scenario doesn’t have enough variation for the change you wanted to make, or the change you wanted to make wasn’t as concrete as it felt. Worth raising with your trainer.
