Is Simile worth running as a client service?

The evidence supports Simile as a credible enterprise simulation platform with weekly human validation and predicted accuracy on every result, but it requires research or data science expertise and is explicitly not suited to small agencies needing quick, low-cost tools. Vendor pricing, delivery economics, and client willingness to pay remain unknown from the supplied data.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
