Drivers & Scenarios

Market drivers with bounded future states and leading indicators. Scenarios are combinations of driver states — used by the forecast engine and strategy simulator.

Each driver is plotted by its likelihood of deviating from base × the magnitude of forecast / strategy impact if it does. Use the quadrants to prioritize where to invest evidence and contingency planning.
