Scenario Workflow

A practical scenario workflow is:

1. Choose a geography and verify the data files.

2. Choose the disease model and compartment list.

3. Set R0, disease durations, and relative infectiousness values.

4. Choose travel assumptions.

5. Add interventions one at a time.

6. Run a baseline, then run comparison scenarios.

7. Review daily outputs and metadata.

Recommended Scenario Comparisons

Keep a baseline scenario with no interventions except the initial infections. Then compare:

• vaccination release timing and prioritization;

• antiviral release timing and prioritization;

• NPI timing, duration, and age targeting;

• mobility reductions;

• alternate initial infection locations.

Naming Outputs

Use metadata_tags in input JSON files to label runs with exercise-relevant names, assumptions, or scenario families. The simulator also writes a metadata file that records the resolved parameters and runtime attributes.
