Sensitivity Chart
Benefits:
It tells which uncertain variables influence output variables the most and
which would benefit from better estimates.
It tells which uncertain variables influence output variables the least and
can be ignored or discarded altogether.
By providing understanding of how the uncertain variables affect your
model, it allows you to develop more realistic spreadsheet models and
improve the accuracy of your results.

Box-Whisker Charts
A box-whisker chart
shows the minimum,
first quartile, median,
third quartile, and
maximum values in a
data set graphically.
The first and third
quartiles form a box
around the median,
showing the middle 50
percent of the data,
and the whiskers
extend to the minimum
and maximum values.

Interactive Simulation
Whenever the Simulate button is clicked, you will notice that the
lightbulb in the icon turns bright. If you change any number in the
model, Analytic Solver Platform will automatically run the simulation
for that quantity; this makes it easy to conduct what-if analyses.
Example: change the purchase quantity to 50; mean profit is less than if
purchase quantity is 44
