Simulate processes
Urgent
Ability to simulate the interactions and decisions of actors (e.g., participants, stakeholders, facilitators, experts), subprocesses, or entire processes (e.g., for rapid process iteration and learning).
Simulate prototyping
Urgent
Ability to run trials that are good enough to learn from, and fast enough to enable rapid testing of new methods and process comparisons.
