Before we test.
A few practical questions about a STEND pilot.
What is STEND?
STEND tests a B2B product idea before it is built. You describe a business process in words; STEND builds a working simulation model of it, runs it as it is today and with your product, and reports what changes. Every number in the report is traced to your words or to a stated assumption.
Who is STEND for?
B2B software vendors and founders who need to show a specific customer what their product would change in that customer's workflow, and teams deciding whether an operational change is worth building.
How is STEND different from AnyLogic, Simio or Simini?
Those are established simulation and digital-twin platforms, several now with AI assistants. STEND is narrower: it is built for a vendor proving its product's effect in one customer's process. Numbers are traced to the customer's words or stated assumptions, and STEND refuses rules it cannot model instead of guessing. We have not run a head-to-head comparison with these tools.
Can I use STEND myself?
Not yet. The studio is in closed testing; today STEND works through pilots run together with you.
How do I contact STEND?
Email stend.pilots@gmail.com or message @youngtrue2222 on Telegram with a few sentences about your product and the process it changes.
What can we test?
Any operational idea, in any business: a change to who does what, in which order, with which resources. We model your process together with you and agree the question, baseline, proposed change and success criterion before the pilot. The hotel, kitchen and production recordings are separate examples of that work.
What information do you need?
A description of the process: people, tasks, resources, arrivals or workload, timings and constraints. We clarify missing details together and agree which inputs and assumptions the model will use. A pilot is scoped and reviewed with you.
What will I get from a pilot?
A comparison of the agreed scenarios, the assumptions behind the calculation and the relevant operational measures. We review the conclusion against the agreed criterion. The result may show an improvement, a trade-off or that the target was not met.
How much does a pilot cost?
The first 3 pilots this month are free. After that a pilot is about $500. You send a few sentences about one process, we agree the question in writing, and you get the report in about 2 days.
What does a model result prove?
It describes what happened in that model under the agreed inputs and assumptions. It does not establish market demand, willingness to pay, profitability or real-world impact. The scenes and movement are illustrative, not measured routes. Human review and real-world validation remain necessary.
