Model home
A model's landing page: where it stands, what it's worth, and every door into it.
Opening a model lands on its home page — the answer to "where does this model stand, and what can I do with it next?"
The progress ribbon
Across the top, five steps show how far the model has come, with YOU ARE HERE marking the current one:
Describe → Build → Scenarios → Analyze → Share
Headline
The headline panel is the model's score, plus a plain-language account of what it decided:

- Base — the objective value of the accepted solve.
- Best scenario — the strongest what-if so far (
—until you run one). - Scenarios solved — n of total.
Below them, the narrative explains the result in business terms — what the optimal plan makes, what it's worth, and which limits are binding. From the Candle Workshop example: "The optimal plan makes 300 Classic and 100 Deluxe candles for $6,400 total contribution … BOTH constraints bind simultaneously: all 200 kg of wax and all 300 labor hours are fully consumed."
Topology
The topology panel shows what was actually built — the model's revision, a READY state, and its size (icons, links, KPIs) — with tabs for each KPI and a strip of External factors: the market signals RIA found for your business, each tagged with what it affects (objective, sales, and so on).
Ledgers
- Requirements — the requirements ledger for this model (
not seeded yetuntil you seed it). - Develop — your model's backlog. When it's empty: "Nothing open — ask RIA for ideas or run a review."
Doors
Cards at the bottom lead into the rest of the model, each with its own next step:
| Card | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Scenarios | Run what-ifs — Scenarios & what-ifs |
| Workspaces | Build an analysis canvas from a preset — Workspaces |
| Workflows | Define a gated process for downstream users — Workflows & runs |
| Data integration | Download the Excel template or set validation rules — Data integration |
| Review & improve | Have RIA review the model's results and suggest improvements |
Governance lives in the header: Edit structure (reopen authoring with RIA), Versions, and Audit log.
