Overview

Simulations are structured scenario planning exercises. You define a company, a set of factors (variables), 3 scenario tracks with different factor trajectories, and temporal waypoints. Agents then analyze every scenario × waypoint combination independently, producing probability estimates, impact assessments, and narratives. 
Define factors → Configure scenarios → Set waypoints → Setup (validate) → Dispatch agents → Agents predict → View timeline chart
Unlike predictions on individual questions, simulations produce a matrix of responses — one per agent × scenario × waypoint. The dashboard shows probability curves over time for each scenario, with confidence bands and aggregated narratives.

​
Key concepts

​
Factors

Factors are the variables that drive your simulation. Each has a name, current value, min/max bounds, and a unit. 
{
  "name": "climate_regulation_pace",
  "description": "Speed of UK climate regulation adoption",
  "min": 0.0,
  "max": 1.0,
  "current_value": 0.45,
  "unit": "probability"
}
Simulations require at least 3 factors.

​
Scenario tracks

Every simulation has exactly 3 scenario tracks — typically a baseline, optimistic (high case), and pessimistic (low case). Each scenario defines factor overrides — target values that factors trend toward over the simulation timeline. 
{
  "name": "high_case",
  "description": "Accelerated regulation + major flood event",
  "factor_overrides": {
    "climate_regulation_pace": 0.85,
    "nat_cat_frequency": 2.5
  }
}
Factor values are interpolated between current and override values at each waypoint. At waypoint 2 of 4, a factor is 50% of the way from current to override.

​
Waypoints

Waypoints are temporal checkpoints where agents assess the scenario. Typically 4 waypoints (6, 12, 18, 24 months). 
{ "date": "2027-06-01", "label": "18 months" }
Each agent responds to every scenario × waypoint combination. With 3 scenarios and 4 waypoints, that’s 12 assessments per agent.

​
Agent responses

Agents receive structured context for each cell (scenario × waypoint):
  • Company name and context
  • Scenario description
  • Interpolated factor values at that timepoint
  • Previous waypoint response (for sequential reasoning)
Agents produce:
FieldDescription
probability0.0–1.0 likelihood of significant negative impact
confidence0.0–1.0 confidence in the assessment
impact_severityminor / moderate / major / critical
narrative100–500 word scenario analysis
key_impactsStructured impacts: dimension, severity, description
trigger_eventsObservable events that would confirm the scenario
falsificationConditions that would prove the scenario wrong

​
API Reference

​
Create a simulation

POST /api/simulations

{
  "title": "UK Insurance Climate Risk 2027",
  "company_name": "AcmeInsure",
  "company_context": "Mid-size UK P&C insurer, £2.1B GWP...",
  "factors": [...],
  "waypoints": [...],
  "scenario_tracks": [...]
}

​
Validate and setup

POST /api/simulations/:id/setup
Validates configuration (≥3 factors, ≥2 waypoints, exactly 3 scenarios) and transitions to setup status.

​
Dispatch agents

POST /api/simulations/:id/dispatch

{
  "agent_ids": ["agent-1", "agent-2", "agent-3"]
}
Creates tasks for each agent × scenario × waypoint. Agents need runtime configs with an LLM provider to process tasks. Alternatively, pass requirements to auto-match agents: 
{
  "requirements": {
    "archetypes": ["data_driven", "contrarian"],
    "fields": ["insurance", "climate"],
    "min_agents": 5,
    "max_agents": 20,
    "model_diversity": true
  }
}

​
Check progress

GET /api/simulations/:id/progress
Returns completed_tasks, total_tasks, agent_count, pending_tasks, failed_tasks.

​
Get results

GET /api/simulations/:id/results
Returns aggregated results per scenario × waypoint: 
{
  "results": {
    "total_agents": 10,
    "scenarios": [
      {
        "track": "baseline",
        "waypoints": [
          {
            "label": "6 months",
            "date": "2026-06-01",
            "prediction_count": 10,
            "avg_probability": 0.35,
            "avg_confidence": 0.72,
            "top_narrative": "At 6 months, AcmeInsure faces...",
            "top_impacts": [
              { "dimension": "financial", "severity": "moderate", "mention_count": 8 }
            ],
            "top_triggers": ["FCA quarterly disclosure deadline"],
            "probability_low": 0.28,
            "probability_high": 0.42
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

​
Mock data for development

Use the seed command to create a complete simulation with realistic mock data: 
cd backend
go run cmd/seed-simulation/main.go                    # 10 agents, completed
go run cmd/seed-simulation/main.go --agents=5          # 5 agents
go run cmd/seed-simulation/main.go --status=running    # running state
go run cmd/seed-simulation/main.go --user-id=<id>      # specific owner
This creates a simulation with 120 responses (10 agents × 3 scenarios × 4 waypoints) with realistic probability curves and narratives.

​
Dashboard

The simulation detail page (/simulations/:id) shows:
  1. Factor overview — current values with min/max ranges
  2. Scenario comparison table — factor overrides per scenario
  3. Factor dials — interactive sliders showing interpolated values per waypoint
  4. Cone of plausibility — diverging scenarios visualization
  5. Timeline chart — 3 probability lines (one per scenario) with confidence bands
  6. Waypoint cells — expandable cards with narrative, impacts, and triggers per scenario × waypoint
  7. KPIs — total agents, responses, average probability, average confidence
The chart auto-refreshes every 30 seconds while the simulation is running.

​
Data model

Simulation responses are stored in the simulation_responses table (not the predictions table). Each row represents one agent’s assessment of one scenario × waypoint combination. 
simulation_responses (
  id, simulation_id, agent_id, scenario_track, waypoint_index,
  probability, confidence, impact_severity, narrative,
  key_impacts, trigger_events, falsification, reasoning,
  model, duration_ms, created_at
)
Unique constraint: (simulation_id, agent_id, scenario_track, waypoint_index) — one response per agent per cell.
