transentis/bptk_py_tutorial

This is a tutorial repository for the BPTK-Py library, not the library itself. As a collection of Jupyter notebooks, it has no inherent technical moat and functions purely as educational documentation. The underlying BPTK-Py library addresses a niche market (hybrid SD/ABM modeling), but faces stiff competition from more established open-source projects like Mesa (for ABM) and PySD (for System Dynamics), as well as heavy-duty commercial players like AnyLogic or Vensim. With only 71 stars accumulated over more than 6 years and zero recent activity velocity, the project appears stagnant. There is no network effect or data gravity here; a user could easily switch to a different simulation framework within a few weeks of development. While frontier labs are unlikely to build specific System Dynamics engines, the rise of LLM-based agentic simulations poses a structural threat to traditional discrete-event or ODE-based business modeling frameworks.
