Define a baseline.
Bind the comparison to a pinned world basis and a governed deterministic Function. Make the assumptions and result meaning explicit.
Compare alternatives before changing the operation.
Evaluate explicit assumptions against a fixed baseline. Compare outcomes, inspect the evidence, and make a separate proposal when you decide to act.
What changes under different assumptions?
- Baseline
- Pinned world and declared assumptions
- Evaluation
- Deterministic governed Function
- Alternatives
- Bounded inputs, policies, or trajectories
- Authority
- Evidence for a decision; no mutation executor
Change the assumption. Keep the baseline.
Compare quote outcomes under two discount policies using the same inputs and a deterministic calculation.
What if the discount changes?
20% sample tax. Amounts are calculated in integer cents; discount and tax round to the nearest cent.

How Simulation works.
Explore quote and acceptanceCompare alternatives.
Vary declared inputs or supported hypothetical policies. A trajectory contract can add a bounded horizon, time steps, and seeded uncertainty.
Inspect the evidence.
Keep the comparison tied to its specification and source basis. Larger supported evaluations use ordinary durable Function Runs.
Make a separate real-world change.
Hypothetical effects stay inside the experiment. Turning a result into an operational change requires a fresh plan through the ordinary Action path.

It does not run the backend simulation engine. Model-backed nondeterministic Functions are not eligible for the deterministic simulation path.
