Are tabs a good fit with data that have a cause and effect relation?

Tabs are used to show content that:

A.is not needed to be shown simultaneously and

B.has a relation with similar hierarchy (like different chapters of a book)

In the following case this web tool that I'm working on has the following function: A user creates a group of rules and then switches to another tab to get the numeric results that were formulated based on those rules.

So the two tabs have a cause and effect relation.

I'm trying to back up why this is not a good structure and find alternatives (navigation bar for example).

Thank you all in advance !
