| Criterion |  Systems Thinking System Dynamics Simulation |  Systems Thinking CATWOE Analysis |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | System Dynamics Simulation makes assumptions about time, delay, and feedback testable through experiments. It draws relationships, patterns, and feedback loops. The result is captured as a simulation model and scenario reports. | CATWOE structures a problem from six viewpoints and prevents too narrow a view of the situation. Different experiences of the system become comparably discussable this way. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Medium |
Timedifferent | Mehrere Tage bis Wochen | 45-90 min |
