The Economic Environment
From local dynamics to global shifts — the economy shapes every business decision.
Our models account for economic variables across multiple levels: inflation, interest rates, employment trends, currency movements, trade policy, and GDP growth. These factors influence everything from pricing strategy to capital planning.
Understanding the broader economic environment isn’t just smart — it’s essential. We help you assess risks, spot opportunities, and adapt your strategy to stay ahead in an ever-changing landscape.
What We're Measuring
The Economic Environment captures the external macroeconomic factors that influence business performance, strategic options, and investment viability.
It includes indicators like interest rates, inflation, consumer confidence, exchange rates, employment levels, and overall economic growth.
This determinant helps assess the context in which a business operates—and how external pressures or tailwinds may affect its outcomes.
How We Analyze It
We synthesize a range of macroeconomic and sector-specific data points, including GDP Trends, Inflation Rates, Monetary Policy Signals, Consumer Spending Indexes, and Business Sentiment Scores.
Where relevant, we also include geopolitical risk indices and trade policy impacts.
These factors are organized into a dynamic Economic Environment Score, which contextualizes business performance against real-world economic conditions and forecasts.
What It Tells You
A favorable economic environment can amplify business growth, boost demand, and unlock expansion opportunities.
Conversely, economic headwinds—such as recession risk, rising interest rates, or supply chain shocks—can constrain performance, trigger strategic shifts, or expose financial vulnerabilities.
This determinant ensures that internal performance is interpreted in light of external realities, supporting smarter forecasting, planning, and risk management.
