What is Gompertz?

Gompertz is like when something grows faster at first and then slows down, just like how you eat candy, you gobble it all up at first, but later you take smaller bites.

Imagine you have a jar of candies. At the start, you eat a lot of them, so the number in the jar goes down quickly. But as time passes, you get full and start eating just a few candies each day. That’s how Gompertz growth works, it starts fast and gets slower over time.

Think about growing older. When you're a kid, you grow really fast, from a tiny baby to a big kid in no time! But when you’re an adult, you don’t get taller as quickly anymore. That’s Gompertz growth happening in your body!

So whether it's candies or people, Gompertz is all about things that start growing fast and then slow down, just like the way we eat candy or grow up.
