SIA simulates future scenarios and it is a user-oriented tool connected to users’ perspectives. The impacts are categorized in the different goals levels: operational, tactical and strategic. Every step is then connected to the “Three-pillar thinking” model returning a nine categories framework. Every area involves different stakeholders with different interests.

By doing so, predictability is increased and risk reduced leading to a better outcome.
