Claim One:
1. A computer implemented process for evaluating user interactions with a dynamic simulation of a system portraying at least one system state and responsive to user queries and interventions comprising the steps of: a. assigning a simulation to at least one user; b. generating a simulated system comprising a system age and at least one system state affecting said system; c. dynamically generating at least one criterion associated with at least one of one said system state, a query, a query result, and an intervention; said criterion comprising: i. a selected user activity to monitor, said activity selected from the group comprising: a. submitting a query to obtain information from the simulated system, b. identifying a state portrayed by the simulated system, c. starting an intervention to improve the present or future state of the simulated system, or d. arranging a disposition comprising scheduling a subsequent interaction between the simulated system and one of said at least one users and an expert in managing a system state; ii. a system age range in which to monitor said user activity, said age range comprising a start age and a stop age; iii. a classification of said user activity as desirable or not desirable; and iv. a weight value selected from a weight value set having at least one weight value; d. accepting at least one user action comprised of said selected user activity and an age of the simulated system when the selected user activity occurs; e. evaluating said at least one accepted user action to determine if at least one of said accepted user action and its consequences require generation of additional criterion and repeating steps c and d if additional criterion require generation; f. determining a status of said at least one criterion dynamically generated in step c; and, g. generating at least one performance description based on at least one of: desirable actions performed; undesirable actions avoided; desirable actions omitted, and undesirable actions committed.
