Capacity & Demand

Interactive Tool

Before / During / After Map

Almost every demand has three phases — and planning only the middle one plans a third of the cost. This maps a real event end to end, so recovery gets reserved instead of hoped for.

What this is for: Seeing the full arc of an event, and protecting the space around it.

If there's a wait or an unknown involved

Waiting is demand too. Giving it its own smaller form can shrink a week of background load.

What you've put together

Your choices stay on this page — nothing is saved or sent.

The event's three phases on one page, with recovery reserved around the middle instead of hoped for afterwards.

Nothing chosen yet — that's fine. Use only what helps today.

Reserving recovery isn't pessimism — it's what makes the next real demand survivable. Whatever size you chose, that was the size that fits.
