Stocks and Flows

Stocks and flows is a systems-thinking concept distinguishing accumulations (stocks) from rates of change (flows). It helps model dynamic behavior of systems, identify delays and feedback, and predict long-term effects of interventions. Useful for system dynamics modeling, architectural reasoning, and cross-disciplinary decision making.
