• input_database/*.csv for yield curves

Typical Outputs

• gcbm_project/output/ model outputs
• run logs and configuration snapshots

Compilation Stage Artifacts

Compilation Inputs

• simulation output directory

Compilation Outputs

• gcbm_project/processed_output/compiled_results.db (name may vary)
• gcbm_project/processed_output/config/
• optional gcbm_project/processed_output/spatial/*.tif

Visualization Stage Artifacts

Visualization Inputs

• optional spatial TIFF directory

Visualization Outputs

• interactive charts and spatial views in UI session
• exported chart assets and PDF reports (if requested)
