What changes when we look at the relationships between variables, rather than each variable alone?
A model needs to make its links and assumptions explicit before its outputs can be interpreted.
- 01
Mapped the proposed relationships between loss of personal items, tracking-device demand, chip supply and car prices.
- 02
Organised the model into stocks, flows and connected variables.
- 03
Documented the assumptions and model structure in a team report.

The B12-related premise is a coursework assumption, not a demonstrated medical or economic causal relationship. The value of the exercise is in structuring and examining the model’s dependencies.
