A small change in one variable can have a marked impact on multiple variables. Run the model [quits change] = 0 and consider the output. What happens if you change [quits change] = 5. Run the model to find out. Was the change what you expected?

This common archetype of systems that include relapse or recidivism allows exploration of the unintended effects of increasing upstream capacity and swamping downstream capacity. The increase in the relapse rate eventually returns to swamp upstream capacity as well. A social welfare example, based on a TANF case study, from How Small System Dynamics Models Can Help the Policy Process. N. Ghaffarzadegan, J. Lyneis, GP Richardson.
