User Guides

Six simulators · purpose, quick start, use cases

Each guide answers the same four questions

What is this for, how do I get an answer in five minutes, how do I read what comes out, and where does it mislead me. Every guide carries three worked use cases with the exact settings to enter and the decision each one supports. The pitfalls sections are not hypothetical — each one describes a misreading that actually occurred while the tools were being validated.
