Test crazy "What-If" Scenarios in your datasets with Datastripes
As in previous posts, Datastripes now lets you explore the future of your data with the Scenario Node and a new Scenario Builder (see the image below).
Predicting yesterday’s trends isn’t enough for today’s chaotic world. Now you can model not just what’s likely, but what’s possible. LSTM-powered forecasts, pre-defined scenarios, or fully custom shocks: your data, your rules.
Here’s what’s available today: Normal, Growth, Crisis, Black Swan, Stagnation, Monte Carlo, Custom Shocks, Custom Events with Decay, and Recuperation.
SO, we want to hear from you: which scenario would you run first?
Vote in the poll below or drop your wildest “what-if” ideas in the comments. Your early feedback will shape Datastripes next features.

This is really cool, Vincenzo — moving from descriptive to exploratory analytics is a huge leap. Being able to stress-test data against “what-if” worlds (black swans, shocks, decays) feels like something every finance, ops, or strategy team will want in their toolkit.
Personally, I’d start with a “growth + sudden crisis” combo — like modeling what happens if you double user acquisition for 6 months, then face a 40% market shock overnight. That’s the kind of dual-scenario stress test investors and execs often ask for but is usually painful to simulate manually.
Curious: will the Scenario Builder eventually allow chaining scenarios (e.g. recovery after a stagnation → followed by a second shock), almost like a timeline editor for the future? That could open up some really powerful use cases.
