Not really using HSPF?

Are you using a "Black Box" front end to HSPF?  If you are, do you know what the program is doing and are you able to decide if the answer makes sense or is even correct?

We have looked at "Black Box" type HSPF front ends and feel that they do too good a job.  We think that they totally insulate the user from HSPF and as a result, leaves users with virtually no ability to look under the hood and decide if the answers make sense or even how they are derived.

If you use a front end and don't feel like you are in control of the answer and have no ability to tweek it in a meaningful way, our response is that the only way to overcome that, is to use HSPF.  Our toolkit isn't a front end, but it is designed to help you learn and be more comfortable with HSPF.  Our toolkit is designed to give users that feeling of empowerment when they know where the answers are coming from and are certain that nothing was left out.

Using HSPF will put your engineers back in control of the design process and decisions.

If you are located anywhere in the Puget Sound area (lets say within a half days drive from Seattle) we will be happy to come and give you a demo of the product and answer your questions!
