This separation presents an opportunity for automated approaches to generate instance data that define instances that are graded (solvable at a certain difficulty level for a solver) or can discriminate between two solving approaches.

The contribution of this work is to enable a native interaction between SAT solvers and the automated modelling system Savile Row to support efficient incremental modelling and solving.

Augmenting a base constraint model with additional constraints can strengthen the inferences made by a solver and therefore reduce search effort.

We empirically show that a channelled model with a static branching order on one of the viewpoints offers the best performance out of all the options we consider.

We show that BIN_COUNTS can be employed to develop a decomposition for the $\chi^2$ test constraint, a new statistical constraint that we introduce in this work.
