The Prediction Profiler

Explore how the model's predictions respond as you sweep one factor at a time around a chosen point — without running new experiments.

The Prediction Profiler lets you explore how the model's predictions respond as you change one factor at a time, around a point you choose — without running any new experiments. It is a fast way to build intuition for what the model has learned: which factors move an objective the most, where a response flattens out, and how confident the model is across each factor's range.


Where to Find It

Tab: Overview → Predictions section.

Each row in the predictions table has a Profile button next to Visualize. It becomes available once you have generated a prediction for that row and the model is trained and up to date.


How to Use It

  • Generate a prediction for a row in the predictions table, then click Profile on that row.

  • Your anchor point is that row. The profiler opens with every factor held at the row's values — this is the point the cross-sections pass through. You can edit the anchor directly in the center-point row at the top of the profiler; predictions update as you change it.

  • Choose which factors to sweep with the X Axis selector, and which objectives to show with the Y Axis selector.


Reading the Charts

The profiler is a grid of small panels: one row per objective, one column per swept factor. Each panel shows how that objective's prediction changes as the factor varies, with every other factor held at the anchor.

  • Numerical factors — a line traces the predicted value across the factor's range, with a shaded band showing the model's uncertainty (±1 standard deviation). A marker shows the anchor value on that factor.

  • Categorical factors — one point per category, each with an uncertainty bar, shown without a connecting line.

  • Panels in the same objective row share a y-axis, so you can compare the effect of different factors at a glance.

  • Click a point on a line (or a category) to move the anchor to that value and re-profile around the new point.


Good to Know

  • It reads the model, it does not run experiments. Everything you see is the surrogate model's prediction — no new measurements are consumed.

  • One factor at a time. Each panel varies a single factor and holds the rest at the anchor, so it shows local behavior around that point — not the global optimum.

  • Constraints are not applied to the sweeps. The profiler shows the raw model surface across each factor's full range, so some points along a sweep may fall outside the constraints you defined. Read it as a view of the model, not as a set of runnable suggestions.

  • You can sweep up to 16 factors at once (it opens with a few by default). Add more from the X Axis selector.


Availability

The Prediction Profiler needs a trained model and a fresh prediction on the row you want to profile — the same conditions as the rest of the Predictions section. It is being rolled out gradually, so it may not yet be visible in your workspace.
