Quodsi for Lucidchart is Available Now for Early Adopters

Process maps show design. Quodsi shows performance.

Process improvement consultants win work on the strength of their recommendations. Quodsi lets you simulate how a redesigned process will actually perform — so you walk into every presentation ready for the hardest question in the room.

The Hardest Question in the Room

Every consultant has been there.

01 The diagram is solid. The logic is sound.
02 But process maps can't prove future performance.
03 So recommendations rest on expertise and judgment alone.
04 And a single tough question can stall a sale — or erode trust.
The gap isn't in your expertise — it's in your tools. Process maps show design. What clients need to see is performance.
The question every client asks
"How do you know this will actually work?"
Your current answer
Tool 1
Process Map
Shows design, not performance
+
Tool 2
Excel Model
Averages, not real dynamics

Two static tools can't answer a dynamic question. Clients are being asked to commit budget, headcount, and organizational change — to a diagram.
A Better Way

What if your recommendations came with proof?

💬 "Can you show me how this process will actually perform?"
📉 "Where will bottlenecks form when our volume spikes?"
💰 "Can you quantify the improvement, not just estimate it?"
🔍 "How confident are you in these projections?"

Now you can answer every one of them — before implementation begins.

How It Works

Quodsi turns your process map into a dynamic model.

Build once. Analyze instantly. Your diagram is the model — no rebuilding, no coding, no separate environment.

01 🗺️
Start with your diagram

Open any existing flowchart. Quodsi reads your shapes automatically — no rebuilding required.

02 🎛️
Add real-world inputs

Set arrival rates, processing times, resource capacity, and variability directly on your shapes. Takes minutes.

03 🔁
Run scenarios

Test changes side-by-side. Add staff, remove steps, increase demand — see what actually happens before you commit.

04 📊
Get defensible metrics

Throughput, wait times, utilization, bottlenecks — quantified and ready to share. Recommendations backed by evidence, not assumption.

See It in Action

Watch a process map become defensible evidence.

From a process map to real performance metrics — in minutes. No specialist tools, no rebuilding from scratch.

The Difference

Why spreadsheets can't answer the question clients actually ask.

Excel is great. But it was built for math, not for modeling dynamic systems. Here's where Quodsi goes further.

Why Quodsi

Turn your process work into visible proof.

For process improvement professionals who stake their reputation on recommendations that work.

🎯
Answer the question clients always ask

Show exactly how a redesigned process will perform under real conditions — before implementation begins. Turn "trust me" into "here's the data."

📋
Turn your process work into visible proof

Your diagrams become simulations. Your recommendations become defensible. Your expertise becomes evidence clients can see, understand, and act on.

🏆
Win better work, protect your reputation

Differentiate engagements with analysis competitors can't replicate — and build the kind of client trust that drives retention and referrals.

Who It's For

Built for people who actually improve processes.

If you already think in diagrams and feel the limits of what static tools can prove, Quodsi is your direct upgrade.

💼

Process Improvement Consultants

"How do you know this will actually work?"

Win engagements by answering the hardest question before clients ask it. Simulate how your redesigned process performs, show where bottlenecks emerge, and walk into every presentation ready with proof — not just expertise.

🏭

Process Improvement Teams

"I know simulation exists — but it feels like overkill."

Test improvements before implementing them. Justify investments with quantified performance data, not gut feel. Right-sized power for real process work — without the specialist overhead.

📋

Business Analysts

"I just want better numbers than what Excel gives me."

Go beyond current state / future state diagrams. Quantify the real difference between as-is and to-be — with confidence intervals, not just averages.
