Scenario optimization analysis guidance

Ind4DT
5 - Atom

I'm struggling to find the right keywords to do further research to educate myself. Any technical keywords to describe solutions for "scenario optimization" is appreciated. 

 

The scale of the data is much more complex in a very niche subject, but in this example I'm 1. evaluating scenarios and 2. solving for the LEAST number of distinct "Drivers". 

 

Input: "Capabilities"
DriverDriverRange (Counties)
DriverACounty1
DriverACounty2
DriverACounty3
DriverBCounty4
DriverBCounty5
DriverBCounty6
DriverCCounty3
DriverCCounty4
  
Input: Requirements
Destinations (Counties) 
County1 
County3 
County4 
  
Target Outcome
Less distinct Drivers the better 
  
  
Possible Outcomes:
3 driversDriverA (Cty1) & DriverB (Cty3) & DriverC (Cty4)
3 driversDriverA (Cty1) & DriverC (Cty3) & DriverB (Cty4)
2 drivers (winner)DriverA (Cty1) & DriverA (Cty3) & DriverB (Cty4)
2 drivers (winner)DriverA (Cty1) & DriverC (Cty3) & DriverC (Cty4)

 

Can Alteryx handle this? Is this the right tool? Thanks in advance for any direction!

Hello @Ind4DT ,

this sounds like "Prescriptive Analytics":

Does this sound like a fit?

 

Best regards
