I've been slowly increasing my score from <200 to <500 (still "bad future), by tweaking settings almost randomly.
It would be great to have some documentation that would make these efforts more efficient, and help users to form a mental representation of how parameters interact, otherwise, it's a frustrating waste of time (even achieving a good score is vain if one doesn't understand why).

Apart from documentation, which would be the easiest way to provide minimal assistance, it would be awesome to offer online and interactive guidance, so that one is aware of how acting on a given parameter affects others. Ideally, a real-time interactive dashboard with sub-scores would be fantastic, but even a rudimentary help in the form of tooltips on each parameter, informing on the main interactions with other ones, would immensely helpful.

Hey @PhilH!!

We are working on this now... the way we do the simulations make it difficult to show sub scores... but we are making a video and a very in depth blog series about what the hell is going on here :-D

Here is a sneak preview:

Hey @GriffGreen
I think it might also help to include the feedback mechanisms that are affected by the particular parameter being adjusted in the "More info" popup. eg increasing A will increase B and C but decrease D
Possibly show the casual loops
That way the decision making is informed rather than random
