Scenario Lab Private Wealth System Map · C4i × Omplexity

Test a scenario. Watch the system answer.

Three small simulation models, each built from a group of loops on the Private Wealth System Map. Pick a model, set how hard each intervention is pushed, and see how the system responds over 30 years compared with leaving it alone.

How this model works

Every box is something in the system that can be high or low. An arrow means "more of this leads to more of that", and a thicker arrow is a stronger push. Follow the arrows and you come back where you started: that is a loop, and loops are why the system holds itself in place. The blue pills are the levers you control; each one pushes its box down. The dashed box is the outcome the model reports.

These models are one small window on a much larger piece of work. The map, the report, the walkthrough and the coalition behind it are all open.

About these models

The Private Wealth System Map is qualitative: it says what pushes on what, and in which direction. These models add a simple, transparent arithmetic on top so that scenarios can be compared. They show direction and relative size. They are illustrations for discussion, and they make no forecast.

What the numbers mean

Every variable is an index from 0 to 100. For barriers and system states, 100 means fully locked in and 0 means absent. For outcome indicators, higher is better. The map has no measured quantities behind it, so the values describe relative position, and the useful reading is always "compared with the baseline".

What a lever setting means

A lever at 100% means the intervention is pursued at full strength across the field and sustained for the whole 30 years. Each lever takes a few years to reach full effect; the ramp-in time is listed under the lever. 0% is the baseline: nothing changes and the loops keep running.

Where the structure comes from

Stocks and links follow the validated loops of the map (R1, R2, R4, R5, R7) and the externalization chain R3. Weights and time constants are set by judgment to make the loops visible; they are listed in full under each model so they can be argued with and changed. Explore the full map at the Living Map.
