Profile consistency is a long-standing mystery of transport in thermonuclear fusion plasmas. This phenomenon is critically tested by studying the system response to off-axis fueling or heating. The present paper investigates the potential of a recently proposed probabilistic transport model to simulate this phenomenon, and it is found that most of the observed phenomenology can be reproduced, at least qualitatively. In particular, the observed differences between tokamaks and stellarators under off-axis heating may find an explanation in this framework.
