Nice — definitely try Causal out! We have a 'scenarios' feature that lets you easily spin up "discrete" scenarios, and then you can use the Monte Carlo stuff to see continuous ranges of outcomes.

This reminds me a lot of calculators I use for FIRE, ie the ones shown here [0]. Perhaps I should try Causal for personal use as well as for business use. I've also seen Maybe [1] for personal finances, which looks good too.

It'd be great if you can share the model once you've built it. We can add it to our template library :)

It is likely that I won't do that in the case of your program, just letting you know as I just use my own Excel or Google Sheets program. If you would like to include it, please feel free to do so.
