CausalCanvas

CausalCanvas is a web app (with optional desktop wrapper) for teams who make decisions in messy systems—growth, ops, policy, product, supply chain. Users sketch causal loop diagrams (reinforcing/balancing loops), attach real metrics from spreadsheets/BI, and run lightweight simulations to see how changes ripple over time. The AI assistant helps convert plain-English hypotheses into loop diagrams, suggests missing variables, and flags common modeling mistakes (e.g., wrong polarity, hidden delays, circular definitions). It also generates “what to measure next” checklists so models don’t stay as pretty drawings. Brutal reality: the app won’t replace serious system dynamics tools for experts; it’s for faster alignment and fewer bad bets in everyday business. Pricing is per seat with team workspaces and versioned models.
