Scenario Search & Adversarial Exploration
Most systems do not fail randomly.
They fail in specific, rare configurations.
The challenge is not only to simulate outcomes — but to find the scenarios where failure happens.
The Pattern
Scenario Search explores a space of possible inputs and system states.
Instead of sampling blindly, it:
- mutates inputs
- evaluates outcomes
- ranks scenarios
- searches toward failure

- ensemble@1 (optional) — stabilizes results
What Gets Computed
Forge does not compute:
- random scenarios
Forge computes:
- failure scenarios
- edge-case clusters
- adversarial configurations
- minimal failure conditions

replay_tokenWhy It Matters
Most critical failures are:
- rare
- hard to enumerate
- invisible to random sampling
Scenario Search makes them discoverable.
Why Forge
Forge enables:
- large-scale scenario exploration
- directed search across uncertainty
- reproducible failure discovery
