During the Close/Suspend process, which pages are reviewed in the next drift simulation?

• A. Narrative, Pattern Review, EDS, Run Sim
• B. Narrative, Pattern Review
• C. Narrative only
• D. Pattern Review, EDS

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that preparing for the next drift requires rechecking all the elements that shape the projection: the narrative for the scenario context, the pattern review for expected movement and environmental factors, the event data sheet for the underlying data and decisions, and then running the simulation with those updated inputs. Reviewing all four ensures the drift is re-evaluated with complete, current information rather than omitting any piece. If you skipped the Run Sim, you wouldn’t actually produce a new drift path; if you left out the Narrative, you’d miss the scenario context; skipping the Pattern Review would miss how patterns influence movement; and omitting the EDS would leave out essential event data driving the logic. Therefore, including Narrative, Pattern Review, EDS, and Run Sim is the correct, most thorough approach.
