# How-to guides

I want to…

- analyze my own network: {doc}`build-substrate`
- understand what a result means: {doc}`read-result`
- know whether a run will finish: {doc}`estimate-cost`
- compute over every state: {doc}`sweep`
- save, export, or plot a result: {doc}`save-load`, {doc}`export`, {doc}`visualize`
- reproduce a published number: {doc}`../tutorials/worked-example` and
  {doc}`earlier-versions`
- run on many cores or a cluster: {doc}`parallel`, {doc}`campaigns`
- work with an AI assistant: {doc}`ai-assistants`, {doc}`mcp-server`
- fix an error: {doc}`faq`
