- What a what-if storm simulation is Run a hypothetical storm through the same dispatch engine that runs your real fleet — without touching live operations.
- Build a scenario: properties, service plan, and depot anchor Drop the properties to clear, pick a service plan, and set the depot the fleet launches from.
- Set vehicle count, type, and speed Tune the fleet in the scenario — how many machines, what kind, and how fast they travel.
- Run a simulation and replay with the scrubber Run the scenario, watch the fleet cover the map frame by frame, and drag the scrubber to any moment.
- Use simulations for staffing and equipment planning Answer 'how many machines do we need?' with evidence instead of gut feel — before the storm.
- Tenant simulations vs the public sales demo Two things that look similar but aren't: your private planning tool and the org-less demo Snowmass staff show prospects.
- Rehearse a storm on your real properties and fleet One click runs the real dispatch engine on your current book of business — on a throwaway copy — and shows you the projected run.
- Ghost Lap: ahead of pace or behind, live An opt-in shadow simulation races your real storm from the same start — and tells the live-ops board whether the fleet is ahead of or behind its own engine's pace.
- Rewind a completed storm: replay, why stops moved, and what-ifs Every completed storm is captured automatically. Replay it, read the engine's own account of why stops moved, and re-run it with a different plan.
- Share a Storm Reel — a public, anonymized replay of your storm Mint a public link to a stylized animated reel of the storm being cleared — anonymized by default, watermarked, with a downloadable clip.
