  • We consider large-scale systems influenced by burnout variables - state variables that start active, shape dynamics, and irreversibly deactivate once certain conditions are met. Simulating what-if scenarios in such systems is computationally demanding, as alternative trajectories often require sequential processing, which does not scale very well. This challenge arises in settings like online advertising, because of campaigns budgets, complicating counterfactual analysis despite rich data availability. We introduce a new type of algorithms based on what we refer to as uncertainty relaxation, that enables efficient parallel computation, significantly improving scalability for counterfactual estimation in systems with burnout variables.
