Policy Scenario Sensitivity Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Policy Scenario Sensitivity Analysis

Policy Scenario Sensitivity Analysis (PSSA) combines structured scenario planning with formal sensitivity analysis to determine which model inputs and policy parameters most strongly drive outcomes across a set of distinct policy alternatives or future states. It is widely used in public health, climate, energy, and economic policy modeling to identify robust interventions that perform well even when key assumptions vary.
