Why Insyt exists
About Insyt
Insyt is free data, analytics and AI training built around the job you do. Here is how it works and who built it.
02HOW IT WORKS
Two ways in. Both start with your role
Tell Insyt what you do, then choose how much guidance you want.
Guided
Answer a few questions about your role and where you want to go next. Insyt suggests the Paths to start with and says why.

RolesTasksSkillsTools
Guided suggestions follow your stage in the role: getting started, established or senior. Pick a role you want to move into and they lean that way. Any Path can be opened. Inside a Path, each section opens once you finish the one before, and each module once you pass its check.
Insyt covers 156 roles, 138 tasks and 255 skills.

03THE COMPANIES
Five fictional companies that trade with each other
You practice on five fictional companies in the space industry. They buy from and sell to each other, so their numbers join up the way real companies' do. None of it is real, so none of it is confidential.

04A MODULE
What a module asks of you
Each module starts from a real question. Here is one from the Head of Sales at Raket Parts, and the four things you do with it.
Direct messageExample
Bram WijnstraHead of Sales
FridayThanks for the Q2 summary. The board liked having it on one page.
Glad it helped. Q3 closes next week, so I can do the same then.
Today, 09:12Why did invoiced sales fall by €2.6m from Q2 to Q3 2025?
| Product type | Q2 | Q3 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built to order | 10,658 | 9,142 | -1,516 |
| Catalogue parts | 7,475 | 6,386 | -1,089 |
| Flight computers | 2,538 | 2,446 | -92 |
| Computer variants | 405 | 506 | +101 |
01
Predict
Before you look at anything, make a guess. Was it prices, credit notes, fewer units or a customer walking away?
02
Try
Open the data and split it by product type. Built-to-order parts account for €1.5m of the drop.
03
See why
Almost all of that (98%) comes from one customer, the biggest, who bought 1,559 units instead of 1,757. Credit notes barely move, at about €3k a quarter.
04
Prove it
Now answer a new question with no hints, and write Bram a short reply he can use.
05IN YOUR HUB
What happens after a module
A record you keep
Your practice work is saved here so you can look back on it. Assessed work is on its way. Neither counts as a qualification.
06WHY IT IS BUILT THIS WAY
Why modules work like this
Insyt leans on four ideas from learning research.
01
Answer first
Trying to recall something sticks better than reading it again. That is why each module asks you questions instead of asking you to reread.
02
Come back to it
You remember more when you meet an idea again after a break. Skills turn up again in later tasks for that reason.
03
See it done
When something is new, a worked example helps more than being left to figure it out. Guided tasks come first, then you try alone.
04
Every rule comes with an example
A rule is easier to use when you have seen it work on a case. Every idea comes with one from Raket Parts.
You won't find “learning styles” here. The research doesn't support them. What does help is seeing an idea more than one way: in words, in a picture and as a question.
09WHO IS BEHIND IT
Why Insyt exists
I have seen it for years: people finish a data course, then freeze when a real question lands at work, because nothing they learned looked like their job. Most training gives everyone the same examples, whether they work in finance, HR or operations. I built Insyt so anyone can hold their own when data, analytics or AI comes up at work.
I call the missing piece the last mile: practice that comes from your kind of work. So I mapped 156 roles to the work they really do, and designed five fictional companies to practice on. Insyt is a personal project, and it is free.
