Please follow the installation instructions before continuing with these steps. Also see the Jupyter notebook example for another example.
Let's say you wanted to describe your hiring funnel and retention for a rapidly growing company, you could do so via:
[PossibleRecruiters] > Recruiters(10, 15) @ 1
[Candidates] > PhoneScreens @ Recruiters * 3
PhoneScreens > Onsites @ 0.5
Onsites > Offers @ 0.5
Offers > Hires @ 0.5
Hires > Employees @ 1.0
Employees > Departures @ Leak(0.1)
Departures > [Departed] @ 1.0
Note that you're able to refer to the value of Recruiters when specifying
the size of the flow between Candidates and PhoneScreens. This allows you
to build feedback loops and such!
Then you could run the simulation for 10 rounds:
cat examples/links.txt | systems-run -r10
Recruiters PhoneScreens Onsites Offers Hires Employees Departures
0 10 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 11 30 0 0 0 0 0
2 12 33 15 0 0 0 0
3 13 36 16 7 0 0 0
4 14 39 18 8 3 0 0
5 15 42 19 9 4 3 0
6 15 45 21 9 4 7 0
7 15 45 22 10 4 11 0
8 15 45 22 11 5 14 1
9 15 45 22 11 5 18 1
10 15 45 22 11 5 22 1
You can also get the output as CSV:
cat examples/links.txt | systems-run -r10 --csv
Which you could... load into a spreadsheet or something to graph!
