A civic e-learning and participatory news platform designed for UK local government and the wider public sector. Two integrated modes — LOOK and LEARN — create a complete civic performance environment that connects news literacy to professional development.
A curated civic news feed with AI-powered analysis layers that surface the patterns beneath the headlines.
Animated episodes that teach complex civic concepts through narrative — not slides, not bullet points, but stories worth watching.
ambivalence is built on a proprietary assessment framework — nine knowledge domains, each mapped to persona-centred badge pathways with four performance tiers.
From Digital Systems and Data to Community Engagement, each domain is underpinned by a researched rubric with specific competency indicators.
Nine badge personas across four performance tiers create a matrix of 36 measurable competency targets. Learners accumulate points through interactions.
Every badge is a signed verifiable credential compliant with the OB3 specification — shareable to LinkedIn, exportable as JSON-LD, publicly verifiable.
ambivalence supports multi-tenant provisioning with per-organisation content licensing, branded experiences, and analytics dashboards.
Create organisations, assign episodes, generate invite tokens, manage seats and licence periods — all from the SoundBox provisioning dashboard.
Per-tenant analytics: active learners, badge distribution, domain strength, episode completion rates. Evidence-rich data for L&D directors.
Full Arabic localisation with RTL support. French, German, and Japanese infrastructure in place. Targeting WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.
Each episode is a fully produced short narrative — rendered through a virtual production pipeline with original video, narration, soundtrack, and interactive microlearning woven directly into the story.
Training budgets have flatlined since 2015. Average training days per employee have declined from 6.8 to 6.0. The public sector needs cost-effective, engaging CPD that fits into the working day — not day-long classroom sessions. ambivalence delivers exactly this.
