Simulations
Coming Soon - This feature is currently in development. Check back soon for updates or contact support to join the early access program.
Journey simulations allow you to model the impact of workflow changes before implementing them. Run what-if analyses to predict how modifications will affect completion rates, time to complete, and user behavior.
What are simulations?
Simulations use your actual journey data and behavioral analytics to predict the impact of proposed changes. Instead of guessing whether a change will improve your workflow, you can run a simulation to see projected outcomes.
Planned simulation types
- Name
Remove step- Description
Model the impact of eliminating a step from your journey.
- Name
Reorder steps- Description
See how changing the step sequence affects completion and drop-off.
- Name
Split step- Description
Break a complex step into multiple simpler steps.
- Name
Defer requirement- Description
Move a document or information requirement to later in the journey.
- Name
Add prefill- Description
Model the impact of pre-filling fields with known data.
- Name
Improve help text- Description
Predict the effect of adding guidance or tooltips.
- Name
Accessibility fixes- Description
Model improvements to screen reader support or keyboard navigation.
- Name
Copy changes- Description
Test different wording or instructions.
How simulations work
- Analyze behavior - Odyssey analyzes historical session data to understand user patterns
- Model changes - You propose modifications to your journey
- Run simulation - The system predicts outcomes based on behavioral data
- Compare metrics - See projected changes to completion rate, time, drop-off points
- Export recommendations - Generate decision memos with evidence and analysis
Simulation metrics
Planned metrics for simulation outputs:
- Completion rate delta - Predicted change in completion percentage
- Time to complete delta - Expected change in median completion time
- Drop-off point changes - How abandonment locations shift
- Confidence intervals - Statistical confidence in predictions
- Sample size requirements - Minimum data needed for reliable simulations
Use cases
Optimize grant applications
Model removing redundant eligibility questions or reordering document uploads to improve completion rates.
Test form simplification
Run simulations to predict the impact of combining related questions or breaking complex pages into multiple steps.
Prioritize improvements
Compare multiple proposed changes to see which has the highest predicted impact.
Build business cases
Generate data-backed recommendations with projected ROI for stakeholders.
