Parallax · Simulation · Pilot
Compare a proposed program with its alternatives on stand-in residents built from census data and the city's model, before any money is committed.
In use
Screen recording of the live pilot: simulated residents respond to a proposed renewal reminder.
Capabilities
Synthetic residents
Stand-in residents built from census data and linked to the neighborhoods they represent. No real person's record is used.
Options side by side
Compare proposals on who they reach and what changes, month by month.
Honest ranges
Results show a range, including when the effect could be zero.
Checked against reality
Once a program runs, Meridian measures what it did, and Parallax's forecast is scored against it.
Questions
- Where should the new clinic go?
- Which outreach reaches the most people?
- What uptake should the budget plan for?
Parallax is in pilot. It compares options so leaders can see which is likely to do more; it does not predict exact numbers.
