Methodology
A documented planning framework.
GridFlora combines user inputs, documented project information, public data, and reviewed calculation methods to produce planning estimates.
How to Read the Results
Results depend on the information entered, the geographic level shown, and the evidence available for the activity being modeled. GridFlora separates direct inputs from calculated results and identifies important limitations in the tool.
Activities are combined only when they represent distinct contributions. An activity already included in a baseline is not added again. One time construction effects remain separate from recurring operations.
Economic Results
GridFlora uses documented economic relationships selected for the activity and geographic level shown. Local and national results are separate views. State results are not offered at launch.
GridFlora is not a licensed IMPLAN, REMI, or other regional economic modeling service. Results are planning estimates, not certified forecasts or promises of jobs, income, spending, or project performance.
Review and Updates
Methods and sources are reviewed internally and may be updated when better evidence becomes available. Material decisions should include independent review appropriate to the project and location.
