Description

Users should feel comfortable pressing the 'run model' button knowing that they've selected what they want.

There's a few ways we could do this. Primarily, some kind of simple summary on the 'run model' page could give an at-a-glance boolean understanding of what's been (un)set, which could be made more useful with little charts or values.

Something we might consider is putting a tick or something against the name of the section if values have been set there.

Could also include a line of text above the button to ask users to check their params before running the model.

Research direction

Start by locating the 'run model' page and the controls that hold the selected parameters. Review how selections are represented before the model runs; done should provide a clear visual summary or section indicators so users can verify their choices before pressing the button.
