Which scenario should be evaluated before changing the circuit?
Simulation and analytics support scenario or signal comparison when the question, input data, and model boundary are defined.

Evaluation scope
How we approach Simulation and analytics
Simulation
Define the base case, changing variables, assumptions, and output required for the decision.
Applied analytics
Evaluate data quality, granularity, and comparability before interpreting a signal.
Output: a prioritized technical decision.

Questions before recommending a change
What baseline is needed?
A period with comparable throughput, ore conditions, operating settings, consumption, and relevant events.
Can a product be selected from hardness alone?
No. Impact, abrasion, process stage, equipment, size, and operating objectives also matter.
How should success be measured?
With agreed indicators such as consumption, throughput, stability, useful life, and cost per processed tonne.
