The problem
Emergency departments struggle with unpredictable surges, and managers test staffing changes only in real life, at real cost.
What to build
Build a simulation that models arrivals, triage, beds and staff, lets managers test what-if scenarios and shows where the bottleneck sits.
Success looks like
A calibrated model that reproduces historical waiting times within 10%, with a scenario interface for staffing and layout changes.
