We started by modeling Google Docs' comments and it turned out that each comment had something like 32 unique states. We realized this was going to be way too much for our use case, and simplified it down to 4. We probably could have had this realization without using Alloy, but it made the conversation much simpler—the designer and I sat down and looked at the visualizations, then kept saying "but for us, states X and Y would be the same…" until we arrived at a simpler model.
