Writing
On what a simulation is good for, the ideas that keep coming up, how the games are built and how to play them.
What it gives you
A Decision You Never See the End Of Teaches You Nothing
Most decisions at work pay out years later, by which time you have forgotten why you made them. Closing that distance is the only thing a simulation really does.
What Do You Learn When Being Wrong Is Free?
People do not experiment where it costs something. Where it costs nothing, they do not notice they experimented. Learning happens in the narrow band between.
Concepts
What Is Runway? Not a Number, a Date
Runway is how many months the money in the bank will last. That sounds simple; the real point is that the number moves with every decision you make.
Cash Flow Is Not Profit
A profitable business can close because there is no money in the account. That is not a contradiction; it is what happens when two different numbers measure two different things.
