CAPARC: Introduction
Transcript, with a description of what is shown on screen.

Video: video/CAPARC-Intro.mp4, 1 minute 24 seconds.
Speakers: One speaker, the presenter: a woman in a black top. She narrates the opening stock footage before she appears.
Sound: Speech only. There is no music.
The video also shows its own captions at the bottom of the frame.

[0:00] On screen: Stock footage: a long corridor of server racks in a data center, then a high voltage power pylon against the sky.
Presenter: Every AI model runs in a data center. And on the ground, a new data center can wait years for power.

[0:07] On screen: Stock footage: a rocket on a launch pad at sunrise, then a satellite orbiting above the Earth.
Presenter: So one company is putting the computing into orbit instead.

[0:13] On screen: Stock footage: the Earth from orbit at night with city lights, then a woman at a desk reading papers with a coffee cup.
Presenter: Every block of satellites it launches is capital it can never get back. And nobody knows how fast chips will improve, what launch will cost, or which customer will default.

[0:25] On screen: The presenter speaks in front of a blurred control room with computer screens and a model rocket. A blue banner reads: CAPARC: a capital budgeting simulation.
Presenter: This is CAPARC, a capital budgeting simulation. You are the chief financial officer of Halvane Orbital, and once a year, for eight years, you commit its capital.

[0:36] On screen: Stock footage: engineers in clean suits work on a satellite in an assembly hall, then two colleagues study a laptop together.
Presenter: Which design to fly, whether to build a rocket, who pays, what to sell ahead, and how many orbital slots to claim before the rival does. Nobody tells you how uncertain your world is.

[0:50] On screen: Stock footage: a dark satellite drifts in shadow, then a close view of a hand holding a pen over papers.
Presenter: You learn to measure what you have committed and cannot undo, to price the option to wait, and to see that an option pays only when someone exercises it.

[1:00] On screen: The presenter in front of the control room. A blue banner reads: Business courses, executive programs, company training.
Presenter: CAPARC is built for business courses, executive programs and company training in corporate finance and strategy, especially in capital-intensive industries. You play solo, in about half an hour.

[1:15] On screen: The presenter closes the video in front of the control room.
Presenter: Architect capital. Preserve options. Explore the simulation at pedagogix.ai.

[1:21] On screen: End card: the CAPARC logo and the address sims.pedagogix.ai on a plain background. No speech.
