In this episode, we explore how to analyze your optimization results through Cosmic Frog's output tables. After running your scenarios, all the critical data—costs, flows, inventory, production decisions—lives in these tables. Instead of digging through raw solver logs or exporting data to external tools, you can filter, compare, and aggregate results directly within Cosmic Frog. Want to see total cost savings between your baseline and optimized scenarios? Check the Optimization Network Summary. Need granular detail on which facilities are shipping to which customers? Dive into the Flow Summary table.

But it doesn't stop there. You'll see how to use the job logs and error logs to troubleshoot model runs, validate that scenarios completed successfully, and identify where infeasibilities occur. We demonstrate practical techniques like filtering output tables by scenario name (using "equals" instead of "contains" to avoid duplicates), aggregating cost and quantity columns with sum totals, and comparing network configurations side-by-side. We also introduce the Maps feature for visualizing flows geographically and Analytics Dashboards for high-level performance comparisons. With Cosmic Frog's output tools, analysts can quickly validate results, pinpoint where savings are generated, and confidently present findings to stakeholders.
