Scenario Simulator

The Scenario Simulator is a sandbox environment where you can modify parameters — materials, transport methods, energy sources — and instantly see how they affect the impact score. Source data is never mutated.

How it works

A scenario takes an existing product or calculation as a baseline and applies one or more parameter overrides. The engine returns both the original and modified scores for comparison.

Running a scenario

mutation {
  simulateScenario(input: {
    baseProductId: "prod_abc123"
    quantity: 100
    overrides: [
      { parameter: MATERIAL, value: "bio_based_composite" },
      { parameter: TRANSPORT_METHOD, value: "RAIL" },
      { parameter: ENERGY_SOURCE, value: "SOLAR" }
    ]
  }) {
    baseline {
      co2Equivalent
      mkiScore
    }
    simulated {
      co2Equivalent
      mkiScore
    }
    delta {
      co2Equivalent
      mkiScore
      percentageChange
    }
    equivalency {
      description
      value
    }
  }
}

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "simulateScenario": {
      "baseline": {
        "co2Equivalent": 1240.0,
        "mkiScore": 87.0
      },
      "simulated": {
        "co2Equivalent": 680.0,
        "mkiScore": 47.6
      },
      "delta": {
        "co2Equivalent": -560.0,
        "mkiScore": -39.4,
        "percentageChange": -45.2
      },
      "equivalency": {
        "description": "This saves the equivalent of",
        "value": "2,170 km of car driving"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available override parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`MATERIAL`	String	Replace material composition
`TRANSPORT_METHOD`	Enum	`TRUCK`, `RAIL`, `SHIP`, `AIR`, `ELECTRIC_TRUCK`
`ENERGY_SOURCE`	Enum	`GRID`, `SOLAR`, `WIND`, `HYDRO`, `NATURAL_GAS`
`ORIGIN_COUNTRY`	String	ISO country code for sourcing origin
`PACKAGING`	String	Packaging material type
`RECYCLED_CONTENT`	Float	Percentage of recycled material (0-100)
`END_OF_LIFE`	Enum	`LANDFILL`, `RECYCLE`, `INCINERATE`, `COMPOST`

Multi-scenario comparison

Compare multiple scenarios side-by-side:

mutation {
  simulateScenarios(input: {
    baseProductId: "prod_abc123"
    quantity: 100
    scenarios: [
      {
        name: "Bio-based + Rail"
        overrides: [
          { parameter: MATERIAL, value: "bio_based_composite" },
          { parameter: TRANSPORT_METHOD, value: "RAIL" }
        ]
      },
      {
        name: "Recycled + Electric"
        overrides: [
          { parameter: RECYCLED_CONTENT, value: "80" },
          { parameter: TRANSPORT_METHOD, value: "ELECTRIC_TRUCK" }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }) {
    baseline { co2Equivalent mkiScore }
    results {
      name
      simulated { co2Equivalent mkiScore }
      delta { percentageChange }
    }
  }
}
