Country impact study

Market-entry intake

How this system works

The Country Impact Study is not produced by AI. It is calculated by quantitative econometric models and computational economics models. No large language model (LLM) generates, estimates or alters the study's results.

What this tool does

This model toolchain produces a Country Impact Study for a company's planned investment in a country: a documented, quantitative assessment of its economic impact, to support applications for government financing and incentives.

The two parts

  1. Company intake (this tool). You describe the company and its market in a few steps: basic firm facts, reference firms, market and growth sizing, and workforce composition. The intake can be AI-assisted.
  2. The Country Impact Study. The confirmed intake data are the inputs of the econometric and computational economics models. The study's numbers are calculated by these models from your inputs.

Where AI is used, and where it is not

The intake can be done fully manually, or be supported by pre-populating it, based on the company description, the values you have chosen and analysis of these inputs.

  • AI only pre-populates the intake: reference firms and competitors, sector activity, the reference firm details and the first market curves. The AI model searches the web and reads the sources it finds; it is instructed to search instead of inventing. These are starting values, not results.
  • Every AI-proposed value can be edited, replaced or deleted. You review and confirm what is passed on to the models.
  • Some values, such as the occupation mix in step 4, are computed from data and your inputs, not generated by AI.
  • AI-proposed values come from web sources the model found, or are derived from them where nothing is published. Sources can be outdated or wrong, and the model can misread them. Check important values against what you know about the firm.

Methodological notes

Wherever a value is generated by AI or computed, a circled sits next to the heading. Click it to read how the value is generated or computed, what it is based on and where its limits are.
