# Simulate

Simulations help businesses make informed decisions by testing out different scenarios and seeing the results. ValQ helps users create and compare multiple scenarios, perform in-depth scenario analysis, and visualize and present them to their team.

* Create and compare multiple scenarios
* Assign important nodes as KPIs and key inputs to track progress
* Identifying the key drivers of performance
* Evaluate performance against a benchmark
* Present the simulation results for multiple scenarios
* Add notes for your reference.&#x20;
* Comment, Share and Collaborate with your team
* Export the scenarios to other BI sources for analysis
* Write back data and comments to the source(files, SharePoint, databases, etc.)
