Scenariot

Scenariot is a term used in several languages to denote a structured outline of events that could unfold under specified conditions. It is a cognate of the English 'scenario' and is widely used in planning, forecasting, and narrative design. A scenariot typically describes a plausible sequence of events, along with the assumptions, drivers of change, time horizon, and possible outcomes that connect them. It serves as a basis for analysis, communication, and decision making.

In business, public policy, and risk management, scenariot-based planning is used as part of scenario planning and contingency analysis. It enables organizations to explore multiple futures, test strategies, identify vulnerabilities, and compare alternatives without committing to a single forecast.

In creative contexts such as film, theatre, and game design, a scenariot may also function as a script-like outline or storyboard. It outlines scenes, characters, actions, and dialogue at a high level, guiding production and storytelling.

The exact usage and spelling vary by language; in some contexts scenariot appears as a variant spelling or loanword of scenario, while standard forms may be preferred elsewhere. See also: scenario, scenario planning, script, storyboard.
