Evaporating Cloud
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.The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.
