Three methods are available for reviewing the results of a Pontis analysis. The Results module provides a report builder for needs, programmed work, and performance measures for any network scenario. The Reports button provides access to additional reports. And the Work Candidates Panel in the Project Planning module provides details about scenario and inspector work candidate recommendations. By modifying scenario parameters for budgets, improvement policies and improvement costs, results can be refined to reflect agency business practices. Further refinements are made by defining Simulation Rules for scoping, look ahead for user programmed work, and major rehabilitation. Preservation policies can be refined by creating and using the agency policy rules or by adjusting preservation model elicitations. Users may perform what-if analyses by running multiple scenarios to compare results for different combinations of parameters. |
