What-if analysis is widely used in traffic simulation to evaluate the effects of interventions, such as speed management and road closures. Despite their importance and ubiquity, conducting what-if studies remains challenging due to the lack of systematic design methods and limited tool support. In addition, intervention definitions are often tightly coupled to model structures, making reuse difficult and rare. We characterize the components of a what-if analysis, define a domain-specific language for specifying interventions, and define reuse and adaptation rules that determine when and how interventions can be reused or must be modified within and across studies, e.g., different cities or intersections. To operationalize these contributions, we provide a revised, light-weight implementation of the Reuse and Adapt framework for Simulation Experiments (RASE). Taking a road network in the SUMO traffic simulator as a case study, we illustrate how the framework automatically reuses and adapts a traffic‑management strategy for lane opening
