When the user wants to optimize decisions under uncertainty with two-stage stochastic programming — extensive (deterministic-equivalent) form in Gurobi, scenario generation and reduction, sample average approximation (SAA), and EVPI/VSS analysis. Also use when the user mentions "stochastic programming," "two-stage," "scenarios," "SAA," "recourse," "uncertainty in demand," or when decisions split into here-and-now and wait-and-see stages. For L-shaped decomposition of large scenario models, see benders-decomposition; for distribution-free worst-case models, see robust-optimization.
