Two modes, one shared platform

Logician is being developed as one supply chain simulation platform with two primary contexts: structured scenario review for business users and guided experimentation for education.

Different contexts, consistent reasoning

Business Mode and Education Mode are not separate apps. They reflect different uses of the same modeling language: one for operational review, one for guided learning and systems thinking.

For teams evaluating real operating decisions

Business Mode

Use the same model to review network options, surface tradeoffs, and prepare structured decision conversations.

  • Compare facility, supplier, and policy changes before resources are committed.
  • Review cost, service, and disruption implications with explicit assumptions.
  • Create scenario outputs that are easier to share with operators, analysts, and leadership.

For classrooms, labs, and guided experimentation

Education Mode

Teach systems thinking with the same modeling language, adapted for exploration, discussion, and learning.

  • Show how structural choices affect cost, service, and robustness over time.
  • Give students guided scenarios they can adjust, compare, and debate.
  • Connect classroom reasoning to the way real supply chain designs are reviewed.

Business Mode

The business context emphasizes scenario evaluation, operational assumptions, cost and risk review, robustness comparison, and planning discussions that need a more structured model behind them.

Education Mode

The education context emphasizes clearer teaching language, guided experimentation, systems thinking, and classroom use cases where supply chain structure and tradeoffs need to be made easier to explain.
