Open calculationmodels
Open calculation models make calculation logic, assumptions, source references, formulas and ranges public where possible. New Economy develops calculation models to make social costs, benefits, emissions, material impact and scenarios visible.
What is made public where possible?
Open calculation models show how an outcome is produced and which assumptions determine the range.
- source references
- assumptions used
- calculation formulas
- model structure
- input fields
- scenario settings
- ranges
- sensitivity analyses
- model versions
- date of the latest update
What is not made public?
Confidential or protected data is not republished.
Confidential client data, personal data, business-sensitive data, licensed source files, paid datasets that may not be republished and raw data without publication rights are not made public.
Open calculation logic, careful source data
The calculation logic is made as open as possible. Source data is only shared when this is legally and substantively allowed.
This keeps a calculation traceable and checkable, without republishing confidential or protected data.
Frequently asked questions about open calculation models
Open calculation models mean that calculation logic, assumptions, source references, ranges and model versions are published where possible. This makes calculations checkable, repeatable and reusable.
Confidential client data, personal data and licensed source data are not republished. In those cases, the source or method used is stated without republishing the underlying data.
Transparent calculation models make calculations checkable and increase trust in the outcome. Open assumptions and sources also make improvement and reuse by others possible.
Open logic for better decisions
Checkable calculations help compare social value, costs, emissions and risks more clearly.
