would be great if @Stephen would share a link to the canvas workflow he created for this. I think there is more to build on. As discussed in our working group meeting
- ideation/ecosystem mapping & stakeholder taxonomies
- formalizing with causal loop diagrams or stock and flow diagrams
- differential (cadCAD) specification and first working code in python using cadCAD package; documenting assumptions and parameters
- iteratively refining models with both qualitative and quantitive backtesting; assert boundaries of model “usefulness”
- using the model to evaluate the current system designs or proposed changes, test parameter sensitivity, explore success criteria or failure modes, evaluate behaviors or polices or make recommendations to governing bodies.
this ties back to the diagrams i shared here: Putting cadCAD in Context
