# Business process
## MicroSim spec
- **Recommended sim type:** control-system [[Block_diagram|block diagram]]
- **Microsimmability score:** 54/100
- **Layout:** controller-plant block diagram on top with a response plot; sliders below.
### Parameters (tunable controls)
- `Proportional gain Kp`
- `Integral gain Ki`
- `Setpoint`
### What animates
A controller drives a plant toward the setpoint; the error trace and step response update live as the gains change.
### Learning objective
Relate controller gains to rise time, overshoot, and steady-state error.

## Build checklist
- [ ] Claim it: set `status: in-progress` + `lease` + `leased_at`
- [ ] Write the child page explaining the concept (tie it back to system)
- [ ] Finalize parameter ranges and defaults
- [ ] Implement the p5.js sketch (drawing + control regions)
- [ ] Add caption + the learning objective on the page
- [ ] Set `status: done`
## p5.js sketch
```javascript
// MicroSim: Business process
let controls = {};
function setup() {
// createCanvas(...); create sliders for the parameters above.
}
function draw() {
// background(...); read controls; render control-system block diagram; respond live.
}
```
