Overview

This domain provides computational infrastructure for evidence-based policy analysis—tools that support regulatory impact assessment, program evaluation, and legislative analysis while meeting formal evidence requirements.

Technical Approach

Problems Addressed

Scoring consistency — Legislative proposals require standardized fiscal impact estimates across different analytical teams
Evidence mandate compliance — GPRA, FFATA, and OMB requirements demand structured documentation of program outcomes
Distributional blindness — Aggregate cost-benefit ratios obscure who bears costs and who receives benefits
Policy diffusion uncertainty — State and local adoption patterns are difficult to forecast without systematic modeling
Interagency coordination — Policies span jurisdictions; isolated agency analysis misses interaction effects

Methodological Foundations

Our frameworks align with established government analytical standards:

Method	Application	Alignment
CBO Scoring Methodology	Budgetary impact estimation for legislation	Congressional Budget Office standards
OMB Circular A-4	Regulatory impact analysis with benefit-cost principles	Executive Order requirements
GPRA Modernization Act	Performance measurement and strategic planning	GAO evaluation standards
Policy Diffusion Models	State adoption patterns and spillover estimation	Berry & Berry event history approaches
Spatial Econometrics	Geographic spillovers and jurisdictional interaction	Anselin spatial regression methods

Analysis Outputs

Fiscal scores — 10-year budget window projections with sensitivity ranges
Regulatory impact statements — Structured cost-benefit documentation meeting OMB requirements
Performance metrics — GPRA-aligned outcome indicators with baseline and target tracking
Distributional tables — Impact breakdowns by income quintile, geography, and demographic group
Diffusion projections — Expected adoption curves across jurisdictions under policy scenarios

Appropriate Applications

Legislative fiscal impact analysis
Regulatory impact assessment (Executive Order 12866 compliance)
Program evaluation and performance reporting
Evidence Act and GPRA documentation
Interagency policy coordination analysis
State and local policy adoption forecasting
Grant applications requiring policy impact evidence
