THE PROBLEM

A Broken Signal

Resumes. Interviews. Credentials.

They used to work. They don't anymore.

AI can generate answers, refine responses, and simulate knowledge on demand.

Everything looks right. Nothing is proven.

The result: signal loss.

It's no longer clear who can actually think critically about a problem, scope it, and execute under pressure.

What's missing is a way to see what someone can actually do.

Testimonials

Real feedback from real people about their experience with iSolvRisk’s gamified learning platform.

"To see you, Joseph Zaarour trying to make #RiskManagement fun is something to be commended. As we look for new ways to engage the #NextGen, you should go check out Joe and what he's doing with iSolvRisk Inc.! I look forward to finding more ways to bring your #gauntlets to the industry! Proud to see you making the industry a better place! 😊"

— - Lee H. V. Founder of MRIA

"I had the opportunity to play 'The Gauntlet' at the RISE Leadership Summit. iSolvRisk Inc. and Joseph Zaarour have developed a really cool idea to 'gamify' risk management. Of the many things they are doing, they are bringing insurance and risk management into high schools to break the stigma that we work in a 'boring' industry. As you know, I am a fan of anyone and anything that is contributing towards solving our industry's talent gap. ❤️"

— Rachel R. Commercial Insurance P&C Broker

— - Natalie A. RISE Ambassador & Mentor

"Shaking hands and meeting new people is one thing, but sharing an experience is different. Sharing the Gauntlet with someone new became the seed for building real relationships – and that’s exactly what it accomplished."

— Raumert H, President of NAAIA NYC

"Thank you to Joseph Zaarour with iSolvRisk Inc. and his team for educating University of Colorado Denver Business School RISK 4809 students on the industry with the Gauntlet! The students were engaged, enjoyed the competition, and were able to apply what they've been learning in this Property & Casualty class to the case studies."

— Cindy Baroway, Executive Director of University Colorado Denver RMI Program

"We are so thankful to have the partnership with iSolvRisk Inc. and Joseph Zaarour to engage with our Insurance and Risk Management students at Michigan State University - Eli Broad College of Business! Students entered The Gauntlet, making decisions in realistic business scenarios, and were required to work as a team in a timed environment. The competition was fierce. This was the first of many engagements for our students!"

— Tom Humphreys, Director of RMI Program @ Michigan State University

"Students had the opportunity to take textbook information and apply it to real world scenarios thanks to iSolvRisk Inc. Over the last two weeks, students in Risk Management and Insurance courses at Michigan State University - Eli Broad College of Business engaged in risk management 'Gauntlets' which are case studies where they must choose appropriate goals to solve the problem, then select correct actions to implement that achieve the goals. Situations in cyber risk as well as insurance company premium audits were tailored to our classroom material in a gamefied format. Competition was fierce and engagement was high! Thank you to founder Joseph Zaarour for your partnership!"

— Tom Humphreys, CPCU, ARM, CLU, ChFC Director of The Insurance and Risk Management Program at Michigan State University - Eli Broad College of Business

"What happens when you turn a Risk Management class into a high-stakes competition? You get The Gauntlet! 🏆 Today my graduate students at St. John's University, The Peter J. Tobin College of Business took on real-world insurance challenges in an action-packed simulation designed by iSolvRisk Inc., and they crushed it. The energy, collaboration, and creative problem-solving in that room were off the charts. These future risk leaders didn't just talk about managing uncertainty, they lived it. Huge thanks to Joseph Zaarour for bringing innovation and excitement into the classroom and showing how dynamic the world of risk management really is."

— Anna Kodryanu, SVP of Distribution @ Westfield Specialty

"...I can say with much enthusiasm and surprise, that the deployment of the Gauntlet in the classroom produced a very engaged and enjoyable learning experience for the students of how risk management might be applied in a real-world business-like setting... the Gauntlet provided a high level of engagement for the students, working in a team format that I observed really helped the students to: Analyze real world risk management scenario's, engage critical thinking, emphasize team collaboration & communication as well as challenging students to determine deployment of strategic risk management solutions all in a fun, spirited, competitive setting. Upon taking an informal survey with my students after the competition, they overwhelmingly agreed that they found it to be a fun, engaging and an enjoyable class room exercise they would enthusiastically participate in again. Furthermore, it seemed to spark greater interest with some students in further exploring risk management in academia."

— Basil Thompson Sr. Maurice R. Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science Professor

"Attending your session was such a great experience! Having the opportunity to hear from those that are entering the industry and what their thoughts are was invaluable. Your product has the ability to bridge so many gaps between those seeking to enter the industry and indivduals tasked with finding and onboarding new talent."

— Mia Nedd Claims Manager - Security First Insurance

"This event was incredibly exciting. The students were energized by watching their teams’ progress on the live leaderboard as they worked through the challenges, and their enthusiasm was palpable throughout the experience. What stood out to me was the balance between learning and gamification. The competitive team environment created excitement, while the focus on real-world scenarios kept students engaged, thinking critically, and actively participating from start to finish. The Gauntlet added a level of energy that transformed the learning experience. Students weren’t simply listening, they were immersed in the scenarios, collaborating with their teammates, and seeing the impact of their decisions in real time. Kudos to Joseph Zaarour and the team at iSolvRisk for creating an experience that delivers both meaningful educational value and genuine fun. They were a major contributor to the success of the event and helped make it a memorable experience for everyone involved."

Stop Guessing. Start Seeing.

In a world where everything can be generated, the only signal that matters is what someone can actually do.
