How to analyze sink and faucet ratios with your AI

Connect your economy data to your AI to spot imbalances. Once connected, your agent handles the math to find where your currency is pooling or draining.

Short answer

How can I use AI to check my game's inflation?

Your AI uses period-specific metrics to compare the total amount of currency entering the system against the amount being removed. This reveals if your faucets are over-supplying or your sinks are failing to drain enough value. You'll get a clear view of the net flow for any specific timeframe.

The results you get

Economic health outcomes

The AI processes your raw transaction logs into these specific outcomes.

NET FLOW

Identify currency surplus

The AI calculates the difference between total inflows and outflows. You'll see exactly how much new currency is being added to the ecosystem.

RATIO

Spot faucet imbalances

The agent compares the volume of sinks to faucets. This shows if your reward systems are outstripping your gold sinks.

TRENDS

Detect sudden spikes

By looking at metrics over time, the AI flags unusual surges in currency generation. You'll catch inflation before it ruins your economy.

HUMAN

Manual tuning required

The AI identifies the math, but you decide how to change drop rates or sink costs. You remain in control of the actual game balance.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as your economy analyst, turning raw logs into actionable math.

  1. Aggregate data

    The agent pulls all relevant transaction records for your chosen timeframe. It organizes every faucet and sink event into a single dataset.

  2. Calculate totals

    The AI sums up every unit of currency added and every unit removed. It builds the foundation for the ratio calculation.

    calculate_period_metrics

  3. Compare flows

    Your agent divides the total sink volume by the faucet volume. This produces the specific ratio needed to judge stability.

    calculate_period_metrics

  4. Flag risks

    The AI looks for deviations from your target ratio. It highlights periods where the economy is trending toward hyperinflation.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically change my game's drop rates?

    No. The AI only analyzes the data you provide. You must manually adjust your game settings in your own engine or CMS.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete my transaction logs?

    No. The AI only reads the data to perform calculations. It has no permission to delete or modify your source files.

  • 03

    Can I use this with any spreadsheet?

    Yes, as long as your AI client can access the file through the connected data source.

  • 04

    What if my data is messy?

    The AI works best with structured logs. If your columns are clearly labeled, the math will be accurate.

  • 05

    Can the AI predict future inflation?

    The AI identifies current trends and historical patterns. It can show you where you are heading based on existing data, but it cannot see future player behavior.
