How it's used
The clearest way to see the value is to see the decision it supports. Below are example workflows for the teams we build for.
Alt30 is a new firm; these are illustrative examples of how our research is designed to be used, not client testimonials.
State workforce agency
The challenge
Budgeting for UI claims starts with a defensible view of where unemployment is heading.
How Alt30 helps
Alt30's Arizona unemployment projection gives a dated, model-ready path with baseline, adverse and favorable scenarios and a published error track record, ready to drop into your own claims regression.
The payoff
A forecast you can inspect and defend in a budget meeting, instead of a black-box feed.
Economic development office
The challenge
When a company compares metros, you need a clear, current read on your labor market and economy.
How Alt30 helps
Per-place economy reports and snapshots give you shareable, sourced figures; a custom brief benchmarks your county against peers.
The payoff
A pitch that leads with credible, citable numbers rather than assertions.
Staffing firm or employer
The challenge
Headcount decisions ride on the direction of jobs, wages and demand.
How Alt30 helps
The labor, consumer and business monitors track those every week, and a projection tells you where they're headed.
The payoff
You staff ahead of the curve instead of reacting to last month's print.
City or town finance office
The challenge
Revenue forecasts are only as sound as the economic conditions underneath them.
How Alt30 helps
Alt30 pairs its municipal finance work with macro and housing monitors and a state projection; a custom projection ties it to your own revenue model.
The payoff
A budget with a defensible economic backdrop, not a guess.
Journalist or newsroom
The challenge
You need a figure your editor trusts and your reader grasps, fast.
How Alt30 helps
Snapshots and cards are embeddable and sourced to FRED, so you can drop a live chart into a story with attribution, or pull the cleaned data behind it.
The payoff
A credible visual in minutes, with the source built in.
Bank, consultancy or analyst
The challenge
Your models are only as good as their inputs, and wrangling public data is a tax on your team.
How Alt30 helps
Model-ready data and projections, with dated vintages and an API, give you documented inputs you can build on and license at scale.
The payoff
Less time cleaning data, more time on analysis, with reproducible vintages.
