The model simulates the complex relationships between economic variables to quantify the multiplier impacts of a project in terms of key economic variables, job creation variables, new business enterprises created across the spectrum, skills impacts across all skills levels, rates and taxes impacts for various levels of government, etc. The model is based on leading practices internationally, but in a uniquely packaged format. The outcomes generated are particularly useful and informative for political and financial decision making processes.

Geographic information systems (GIS) technology is utilised to map a variety of thematic economic, socio-economic, real estate and related indicators.
