A computing device obtains a computer model that predicts a predicted output for a studied system. The device obtains an initial predicted state for an applied system according to initial inputs to the computer model. The device receives a request for derived inputs that will generate, for the applied system, a user-requested change in the initial predicted state. The device generates decision deltas for the computer model. The device determines allowable function inputs to a computer function. The allowable function inputs are derived based on the decision deltas, the user-requested change, and the computer model. The device computes, using one or more of the allowable function inputs, at least one minimum or maximum value for the computer function. The device outputs output information based on the derived inputs that, according to the computer model, will affect the user-requested change in the initial predicted state.
