Abstract: Reference modes aid in focusing modeling efforts and defining the problem to study. When faced with scarce or no data, modelers must elicit reference modes of dynamic behavior from participants. There is a lack of a systematic, scalable, rigorous and reliable method to capture and consolidate the qualitative and quantitative components of behavior‐over‐time graphs. The REference MOde DEvelopment ALgorithm (REMODEAL) fills this gap with a structured approach for modelers to elicit, verify and analyze data on tangible and intangible variables from participants. REMODEAL consists of a novel three‐graph method to triangulate a participant's reference mode of dynamic behavior. © 2024 System Dynamics Society.
