   • Input (cause) and output (effect)
   • Variables to find solution

6. 4.- Getting a Solution

   • First results
   • Obtaining solutions
   • Basic maths
   • Building of solution
   • Brainstorming

7. 5.- Analysis

   • The model gives the answer
   • Analyze results
   • Examine the results
   • Strengths and weaknesses
   • Parameters and small changes
