Simulate Decision Models
Simulations can be seen as a 'glamorous solution' of Decision Modeling, but beyond their instant appeal is the fact that they provide an effective means of visualizing, understanding, analyzing and communicating the intent and meaning of the models. The simulations can be run on the models as they are developed, before they are put into production, after structural model changes, or after rules or example data sets have been updated. The simulation facility is fundamentally a mechanism of running trial model executions for the entire model, or individual decisions within a complex model, allowing a team or an individual stakeholder to view the inputs, visualize the execution path, and analyze the intermediate decisions and outputs for a given model or fragment of a model. Simulations are also useful to perform what-if analysis and to check how new data sets in the domain will affect the decision outputs.
