Why It Matters
“Policy ideas die because no one thinks through execution. Failure in civic contexts has real costs. Simulation reduces avoidable failure.”
How It Works
01 — If It Passed Tomorrow
Answer: who enforces it? What does it cost? What's the timeline? Where will the pushback come from?
02 — Failure Analysis
Identify the top 3 reasons your project would fail. Build contingencies.
03 — Pilot Thinking
How could this be tested locally at small scale before going big?
04 — Debrief
A senior member reviews your simulation output and pressure-tests your assumptions.
