The Deal Atlas
The Viva · By Stephen Brownell

The examination

The Viva: say it in your own words.

Eight free-response questions per plate, walking its route from orbit to summit. Each answer is graded by an examiner that holds the plate's key: what you got, what you missed stated as the rule itself, a GC gloss, and the follow-up a partner would ask next. Answer from the map, in a few sentences — the mechanism, not the term.

Checking for a pass…

Question 1 of every plate is open to everyone. The rest of each sitting needs the Atlas Pass. Sittings are saved in this browser only; answers are sent for grading and not stored. Never type real deal facts or client names — the Viva is about the plate's fictional territory.

A record of self-study for your own file. It is not accredited continuing legal education and does not certify competence; the scores are an AI examiner's grading of your answers against the plate's key, under the plate's stated baseline.
