Defining and mapping scripting tools

Scenario building is crucial in today's rapidly changing landscape, as it enables organizations to navigate uncertainties by exploring possible solutions for a given problem in the future. A deeper understanding of the concept of scenarios is needed to fully recognize the opportunities and limitations of scenario-based tools, particularly in addressing the challenges of product circularity and resource conservation. This approach enables informed decisions to be made for complex problems with incomplete and uncertain information.

To answer this question, preliminary research was carried out to define and conceptualize what a scenario is. Next, the research assessed the contexts in which scenarios are applied and, on the basis of their specific use cases, explored how they are developed.

The aim of this study is to identify the opportunities and limitations of deploying scalarization tools with regard to issues linked to product circularity and resource conservation measures. This study presents the results of preliminary research into identifying the strengths and limitations of scalarization in different application areas. It then proceeds to map the available tools and examine their operational characteristics.
