While qualitative-based system archetypes have helped popularize the application of systems thinking since the publication of "The Fifth Discipline", some argue using the archetype alone, without the knowledge derived from working directly with formal models, can be dangerous.

I seek to create a model as parsimonious and generic as possible while grounding the formulations based on behavioral decision processes. A set of leverage points are identified that prevents the system from tipping into a vicious circle where more symptomatic solution leads to erosion of fundamental solution that augments problem symptom.
