Operational models for shipping and climate prediction use ice pie principles as the foundation for "floe-scale" simulations. By modeling millions of interacting pies (using statistical methods), they forecast the drift of the polar ice pack days in advance.

The ICE model is often favored for its speed and simplicity. It is popular in growth hacking and agile development for quickly ranking a large list of ideas. Operational models for shipping and climate prediction use
