Models and digital twins

Model how demand, prices and capacity affect a company’s revenue, costs and cash flow. Compare a baseline with a new price, an investment in capacity or a drop in demand. We agree which decisions the twin needs to support and which company data it will use.

Build a model of a country’s economy around a policy question. Compare changes to taxes, public spending or interest rates and trace their effects on households, firms and public finances. We document the starting conditions, assumptions and data sources for each scenario.

Estimate relationships in your data or forecast a measure over time. We explain the model’s assumptions and uncertainty, then check how the answer changes under alternative specifications or scenarios.

Review an existing model’s assumptions and calculations, then test how it responds to alternative inputs or extreme scenarios. We document the checks, the problems found and the limits that matter for its intended use.

Research and data

Track changes in a dataset over time, compare groups or review a scenario alongside a baseline. We define each measure and its source, then build the charts, tables and exports your team needs.

Start with the decision you need to make and what your data can answer. Bring us a research design, an existing analysis or a result you need to interpret. We explain where the evidence is strong and where it runs out.

Plan how to evaluate whether a policy or programme changed an outcome. We help choose a comparison group, set out the data the design needs and identify the assumptions to check before interpreting an effect estimate.

Evaluate a policy or programme using the available outcome data. We compare changes across groups or time, examine alternative explanations and report what the estimates support about the intervention’s effects.

Education and games

Define how players earn, spend and trade resources. We examine how prices, rewards and progression interact and test for incentives that push players away from the intended experience.

Build a playable simulation around an economic system. Give players roles and choices, then use scenarios to show how their decisions affect the economy and the people in it.

Design courses, interactive textbooks and model-based exercises around specific learning goals. Learners can work through an example, change an assumption and compare the results.

Use worked examples to teach economic concepts. Comparing two payoff tables in a game theory lesson, for instance, shows how a change in the rules can shift a Nash equilibrium.

Software

Turn a spreadsheet model or recurring calculation into a web or desktop application. Before we build, we agree who will use it, what they need to enter and what results they need to see.

Connect your existing tools and automate recurring tasks, such as importing data or producing a report. We agree the interfaces and access each workflow needs, then provide technical training and handover documentation for the team running it.

Give your team a shared place to work on research notes, references and manuscripts. We shape the workspace around how you record decisions, review proposed revisions and keep track of changes.
