Insights from the simulations

Excerpt code	Participant code	Background	Topic(s) covered	Insight
A	4	Urbanist	Silo-approach Lack of interaction among decision-makers	Lack of interaction with other human agents reduces policy effectiveness and hinders interaction with the non-human agent
B	4	Urbanist	Silo-approach Exclusive reliance on financial data	Need for a broader, interconnected set of parameters to inform decision-making
C	1	Urbanist	Silo approach Use of accounting data during simulation	Accounting data viewed as a mere output in decision-making
D	1	Urbanist	Integrated approach to decision-making	Data and interconnections influence decision-making
E	5	Public administration employee	Integrated approach Support from ST/SD maps and language	ST/SD tools play a performative role
F	1	Urbanist	Integrated approach Availability of multi-dimensional parameters	Visualising connections and the behavior of multi-dimensional parameters over time is crucial for understanding and guiding decisions
G	1	Urbanist	Performative role of SD maps and simulation models	Acquisition of feedback thought and ability to combine theoretical and practical strengths of the approach
H	4	Urbanist	Performative role of SD maps and simulation models	Performative role of simulation models in the appraisal approach
I	2	External consultant	Broad dataset to inform decision-making in sustainability and circular economy	Role of accounting and non-accounting data in decision-making
J	4	Urbanist	Use of accounting data	Accounting data as an anchor for decision-making
K	II	Manager	Decision-making within the network of human agents	Interaction and cooperation within the network as critical
