The point

Reproducibility is a property of the engine, not a promise in a slide — same seed, same figures, every time, everywhere.

Same seed, same truth

Ten thousand simulated annual losses, computed in your browser by the shipping engine. Re-run as many times as you like — with the seed fixed, every figure repeats to the digit, for you and for anyone you send this page to.

The dice

MT19937, seeded — you hold the seed

run #1 of this exact simulation

Stated limit

The loss model is a fixed illustrative LogNormal — one heavy-tailed annual loss. The simulation machinery around it is the shipping engine.

Why it matters

Click re-run: nothing moves. That stillness is the point — an unreproducible risk number cannot be audited, challenged, or defended.

Why it matters

Move the seed: the figures shift within their error bars — that spread is sampling noise, and the next scene puts a number on it.
