At a glance

Exploring how a decision or system could perform under a defined set of plausible conditions and assumptions.

Why it matters

Scenarios help teams examine downside pathways and response options without claiming to predict one certain future.

An operating example

Compare a base case with a drought or lower-price scenario when reviewing agricultural exposure.

Illustrative application, not a live customer result or a guarantee of product availability.

What it does and does not tell you

Scenarios are conditional explorations, not probability-weighted forecasts unless explicitly designed and validated that way.
