INDEPENDENT POLICY & RESEARCHConceptual framework Edition 0.16.4

Policy and Resilience Calculators

Find 26 calculators for service continuity, backup power, delivery capacity, forecast accuracy, costs and policy review. Each includes a worked example.

Start with a real question

Can a delivery reach people?

Two routes can carry 110 crates a day between them. A shared receiving point can handle only 80. See how that limit leaves 20 of 100 requested crates unmet.

Try the delivery capacity calculator

What happens if a shared system fails?

A public service depends on a shared portal. See which functions can continue with a tested local backup and which need more evidence.

Does AI help once people check its work?

Compare staff time and mistakes on the same workload. In the example, AI assistance saves half an hour but produces more audited errors.

Try the human and AI review comparison

The examples are fictional. For your own case, use dated records and state what you are assuming. Compare the current process, a coordinated process run by people, and an AI-assisted process under the same conditions. The tools show practical trade-offs, such as time, cost, errors and service gaps. They do not estimate the chance of war.

Which calculator should I use?

Start with the fictional inputs, then enter your own. Each calculator shows the formula, units, and limits. Read the policy registry when you have a subject in mind and want to see which tools cover part of it.

Service continuity and capacity

Evidence and measured performance

Evidence provenance graph

How many declared traceable origin clusters support these reports, and which origins remain unknown?

Program Evaluation Readiness

Which evaluation-design records are documented, and what descriptive differences can these supplied observations support?

Costs, constraints and trade-offs

Declared provider concentration

How concentrated is the supplied total, including common parents, and what quantity is retained using only evidenced independent substitutes?
