Simulation input

Seed material is the source packet that grounds a MiroFish simulation.

Before graph construction, personas, and reports, MiroFish needs seed material. The better the seed packet, the easier it is to inspect why a scenario report says what it says.

Direct answer

Seed material means the documents and notes that define the world of a simulation. It can be a product brief, market memo, transcript, strategy note, news summary, policy draft, fictional world bible, research packet, or any focused source set that explains the situation.

The most common mistake is uploading too much. A smaller, cleaner seed packet often produces better graph construction, more coherent agent personas, and a report that is easier to challenge.

How to use MiroFish for this search

Use these steps to move from a broad phrase to a reviewable scenario, report, or clarification.

Seed -> graph -> agents -> report

Write the scenario question first

The question decides which parts of the seed material matter.

Remove noise

Delete duplicated notes, obsolete claims, private details, and unrelated background.

Name the actors

Identify the groups whose reactions should appear in personas and reports.

Preserve source boundaries

Keep dates and source labels so the report can distinguish evidence from assumption.

Seed material practical checklist

These checkpoints keep the page tightly matched to the exact search phrase while staying useful for a real MiroFish run.

Reader fit
  1. Seed material guide checkpoint: Reader intent: a seed material visitor should get the short answer, the right MiroFish workflow step, and a concrete way to continue without hunting through the site.
  2. Seed material guide checkpoint: Source packet: use One primary question, a short source packet, dates, named actors, known constraints, competing interpretations, and the assumption you are most willing to test. Keep the first packet compact so the result can be traced back to evidence instead of broad prompting.
  3. Seed material guide checkpoint: Workflow fit: connect the search phrase to seed material, graph review, role setup, simulation events, and a report that can be challenged by a human reader.
  4. Seed material guide checkpoint: Report standard: the best result is A grounded simulation setup: extracted entities, relationships, initial context, agent persona seeds, and a report path that can point back to the material. That output should preserve assumptions, disagreement, and next actions rather than sounding certain.
  5. Seed material guide checkpoint: Verification habit: mark which claims came from source context, which came from agent reaction, and which still need a fresh outside check before action.
  6. Seed material guide checkpoint: Rerun trigger: choose one changed condition from the report and compare it with the baseline instead of changing the prompt, roles, and evidence all at once.
  7. Seed material guide checkpoint: Decision use: treat the page as a planning aid, then move into MiroFish only after the question, actors, time horizon, and limit are clear.
  8. Seed material guide checkpoint: Boundary: Seed material is not automatically true. MiroFish can structure it, but humans still need to remove outdated, private, or misleading material. A useful reader leaves with a sharper question, not a guarantee.

Prepare a useful first run

For seed material, the strongest starting point is not a long prompt. It is a small operating brief that says what changed, who is affected, what evidence is known, and what decision the reader needs to make. Keep the first run narrow enough that a reviewer can trace every major output back to the source packet.

Use the preparation note on this page as the boundary for the first packet: One primary question, a short source packet, dates, named actors, known constraints, competing interpretations, and the assumption you are most willing to test. A good packet also labels dates, separates facts from assumptions, and avoids private or stale material that would make the report difficult to trust.

The report should be treated as a working document. When it makes a claim, ask whether the claim came from the uploaded context, an inferred relationship, an agent reaction, or a gap that still needs outside verification. That habit keeps the workflow practical for teams that need a reviewable answer rather than a dramatic prediction.

Review checklist

Before acting on a MiroFish output, check whether the scenario stayed inside the question you asked. The most useful output for this page is: A grounded simulation setup: extracted entities, relationships, initial context, agent persona seeds, and a report path that can point back to the material. The key limit is equally important: Seed material is not automatically true. MiroFish can structure it, but humans still need to remove outdated, private, or misleading material.

  • Write the scenario question first. The question decides which parts of the seed material matter.
  • Remove noise. Delete duplicated notes, obsolete claims, private details, and unrelated background.
  • Name the actors. Identify the groups whose reactions should appear in personas and reports.
  • Preserve source boundaries. Keep dates and source labels so the report can distinguish evidence from assumption.

What to compare in the output

Use these checkpoints to turn the first MiroFish result into a grounded next action.

Review before action
  • Brief: What decision is being tested. Keeps the run focused. One sentence is enough.
  • Sources: Facts, quotes, notes, and context. Grounds graph construction. Label dates and origins.
  • Actors: Customers, competitors, regulators, fans, critics, or teams. Shapes agent personas. Avoid private dossiers.
  • Constraints: Budget, timing, policy, geography, or risk limits. Makes the report actionable. Mark unknowns.

    A realistic use case

    For a market-entry simulation, seed material might include the target segment, competitor positioning, buyer objections, launch timing, and pricing assumptions. It should not include every old brainstorming note unless the note changes the decision.

    The value of the page is practical: define the job, prepare the right input, read the output with its limits visible, and choose a next step that can be checked outside the page.

    How to read the report

    Read a MiroFish report as a map of assumptions and reactions. Mark source-backed claims, uncertain claims, and follow-up questions separately. Then choose one change for the next run instead of accepting the first report as final.

    FAQ

    Short answers for readers who need the useful boundary before opening a MiroFish workspace.

    What counts as seed material?

    Any focused source packet that explains the scenario MiroFish should simulate.

    Can I upload a large folder?

    You can, but a concise packet is usually easier to inspect and less likely to dilute the result.

    Should seed material include assumptions?

    Yes, but label assumptions clearly so the report does not treat them like proven facts.
