Four stages, from scoping to delivery
The same disciplined process runs through every engagement, sized to fit the project.
Define the study area
We establish project scope, geography, and the specific effects that matter to your stakeholders.
Build the regional model
A custom input-output model is constructed for the relevant county, region, or state economy.
Quantify the effects
Direct, indirect, and induced impacts are calculated for jobs, earnings, output, and tax revenue.
Deliver & present
A clear, defensible report — and, where needed, direct support presenting the findings.
Every dollar spent moves through the local economy three times
Direct effects are the jobs and spending created by the project itself — construction payroll, equipment, materials.
Indirect effects ripple through the supply chain, as local vendors and contractors are paid.
Induced effects come from household spending, as workers spend their earnings at local businesses.
