Mass Simulation## Definition

Mass Simulation extends the singular predictive capabilities of Simulation across large swaths of the utility network. It uses parallel processing to predict billing and Invoicing outcomes globally or portion by portion.

Business Purpose and Architecture

The business purpose is macro-economic modeling. When executives plan rate reforms or price hikes, they execute Mass Simulations to prove exactly how much bottom-line revenue will change across their entire customer load before pushing new rates out to production. Architecturally, this utilizes specialized mass runs (like Mass Simulation Billing to Mass Simulation Invoicing) that parallelize the computation over hundreds of thousands of simulated documents using the Extrapolation and Schema logic layers.
