Scenario tools are most effective when used as conversation aids — live, with the client, building the model together rather than presenting a finished output. This guide covers patterns that work well in both video and in-person settings.
Before the Meeting
Prepare a Draft Scenario
Build a draft scenario using the information you already have — even if some inputs are estimates. Having a starting point is better than starting from a blank tool in front of the client.
-
Open Practice → Scenarios, click New Scenario, and choose the tool.
-
Choose Client or Prospect context so the scenario is linked when created, then enter or review the inputs.
-
Name it clearly: "[Client Name] — [Tool Name] — [Date]."
