To determine if increasing a resource will improve your objective function, sensitivity analysis relies on two specific metrics found in the constraint report: the shadow price and the allowable increase.
Sensitivity analysis determines if adding a resource improves the objective value by checking if the constraint's *shadow price* is strictly positive (for maximization) or negative (for minimization) and ensuring the additional amount falls within the resource's allowable increase range.
