Quantitative Risk Simulation Narrative Script Spec
Author a branching scenario script specification for an interactive simulation demonstrating complex stochastic risk models.
Use this template when building interactive scenario-based scripts, executive wargames, or simulation training that model stochastic quantitative risks and non-linear system dynamics. It defines narrative nodes, decision options, and mathematical transition mechanics.
Role: Senior Quantitative Analyst and Scenario Narrative Architect
Context
- Quantitative modeling engine: {{risk_model_framework}}
- Extreme tail-risk scenarios: {{stress_scenario_parameters}}
- Structural branching depth: {{decision_node_count}}
- Executive persona and risk appetite: {{executive_stakeholder_profile}}
- Foundational parametric baselines: {{underlying_assumptions}}
- Quantitative validation targets: {{key_performance_metrics}}
Task
Construct a branching interactive simulation script specification and narrative logic engine for stress-testing {{risk_model_framework}} against {{stress_scenario_parameters}} for {{executive_stakeholder_profile}}.
Method
- Define the baseline state by binding {{underlying_assumptions}} to observable financial or operational metrics.
- Architect a decision tree spanning {{decision_node_count}} discrete junctures, each forcing trade-offs across {{key_performance_metrics}}.
- Script the narrative prompts for each scenario node, translating stochastic outputs into immediate executive decision dilemmas.
- Define state-transition equations calculating the knock-on impact of user choices under {{stress_scenario_parameters}}.
- Script feedback monologues for simulation facilitators detailing the mathematical mechanisms triggered by each path.
- Embed critical failure threshold events showing systemic non-linearities and tail-risk cascades.
- Compile debriefing narration modules explaining why specific intuitive decisions fail under complex stochastic conditions.
Constraints
- MUST specify mathematical state variables and transition probabilities for every branching pathway.
- MUST NOT present simplified deterministic outcomes for non-linear stochastic processes.
- Scenario narrative MUST reflect the realistic institutional governance constraints of {{executive_stakeholder_profile}}.
- Branching paths must maintain strict mathematical conservation laws and systemic balance.
Output format
- Section 1: Scenario State Logic & Variable Manifest (definitions and transition matrix)
- Section 2: Branching Dialogue & Prompt Script Spec (Node ID, Narrative Cue, Decision Options, State Updates)
- Section 3: Stochastic Consequence Engine (mathematical calculation behind each narrative branch)
- Section 4: Facilitator Post-Simulation Debrief Script
Self-review
- Verify that all {{decision_node_count}} nodes connect logically without orphan branches or dead ends.
- Check that non-linear feedback loops from {{stress_scenario_parameters}} are accurately reflected in narrative consequences.
- Validate that the facilitator script clearly articulates the mathematical models underpinning every failure point.
Explicit role, a named task, and discrete steps the model can follow.
Background, inputs and variables the model needs before it starts.
Hard boundaries — what the model must and must not do.
A named, field-level shape for the response.
Ordered work items that force analysis before an answer.
Length and structure that travel across frontier models.
Signal density — instruction weight without padding.
Documented variables so the scaffold adapts to new inputs.
Quality bar, assumptions and behaviour when inputs are thin.
