Magnitude
Résumé
Magnitude is a simulation tool prototype, designed by Laetitia Bornes, as part of her thesis, and developed by Laetitia Bornes, Mathieu Magnaudet, Stéphane Conversy, and Mathieu Poirier. This tool allows, among other things, the modelling of direct and indirect environmental impacts of digital products or services. It was designed to enable collaborative construction of a simplified model of direct and indirect effects of an intervention (product, service, regulation, etc.) based on mixed data (system data, user surveys, expert assumptions). The objective is to enable involved stakeholders (decision-makers, designers, policymakers, citizens, etc.) to better understand the dynamics of these impacts by interacting with the model, and to identify and test mitigation strategies. Comparing multiple simulations (representing various scenarios and strategies) helps identify realistic and impactful lever combinations.
