Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Computer-based business analysis relies on models, or algorithmic representations of the business process. Real-life business problems can become very complex, which creates difficulties in generation, analysis, testing, and the actual use of the models. The paper discusses a proposed solution: the visual modeling workflow. A diagram or a group of diagrams represent each step within this workflow. The visual modeling process can be simplified by applying patterns or problem-solution formulas. Such modeling patterns include decoupling, encapsulation, visualization of user workflow, multilayer visual representation of the calculation logic, and early identification and visualization of uncertainties. The patterns are applied to the visual modeling workflow, which include high level conceptual modeling, using domain models and calculation diagrams to visualize the calculation logic, visualization of testing and consolidations, and visualization of results of probabilistic analysis and simulation. The described methodology is used in a number of Schlumberger's software application.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
