System Dynamics & Sensitivity Analysis

Define sensitivity analysis in a practical, non-mathematical context as a tool for identifying high-leverage decision variables.

Select the top 3 candidate variables from the tour plan (e.g., encounter frequency) and describe the consequences of varying them.

Select the single highest-leverage variable from the photoshoot plan (e.g., starting outfit modesty) and describe the consequences of varying it.

Identify the single highest-impact variable for the tour scenario and define a 'guardrail' rule for its implementation (e.g., 'Frequency must not exceed Y').

Define stress testing as a method for evaluating a plan's robustness against major, unexpected disruptions.

Identify three plausible 'shock' events for the tour scenario (e.g., shortened tour, unplanned visitor).

Identify three plausible 'shock' events for the photoshoot scenario (e.g., brand constraint change, major wardrobe malfunction).
