PROJECT RED TEAM Commission a study
US-97 corridor package

One corridor. One evidence record. Three decisions the report will not let you confuse.

The US-97 package shows how Project Red Team separates corridor-wide impact, location comparison, and viability review. It is being built now. A BEA RIMS II aggregate multiplier region has been ordered for the corridor, and the corridor artifacts will appear here as the engine generates them, each with its command, release stamp, and what it does and does not prove.

What is being studied

A casino package for the Hwy 97 Extended Market Region.

The flagship package brings four questions into one governed record: the corridor-wide economic impact, a location decision among candidate sites, comparison readiness against other studies, and a preliminary viability screen. Every figure will carry its source, its evidence tier, and its release ruling, and every missing input will be named rather than hidden.

The geography

The nine-county corridor region, south to north.

The package treats these nine counties as one connected market region, from Weed and Mount Shasta up to the Columbia. See how corridor studies work.

What RIMS II adds

A purchased multiplier base for the aggregate corridor.

Project Red Team has ordered a BEA RIMS II multiplier region for the US-97 corridor: Type I and Type II multipliers, 2024 regional data on the 2017 national input-output accounts. When the files arrive, they strengthen the multiplier base the corridor-wide impact rests on, in place of a free-data estimate. The report will label which effects the purchased multipliers support and which remain free-data estimated.

What RIMS II does not answer

Its limits, stated up front.

What the location decision can say

A leader, and how stable that lead is.

A location pack scores each candidate site through the same evidence gates, names a provisional leader, and measures how stable that lead is. It reports the margin, the components driving it, and the flip conditions that would change the order. The pack shows which candidate leads on the evidence supplied, and whether that lead is stable enough to become a recommendation. Until the stability math clears, it withholds any selected-site language and says so plainly.

The demonstrations

The method, on the sample packs today.

The US-97 corridor packs are being generated. In the meantime, here are the same artifact types run on the sample inputs the engine ships with, so you can see the shape of what the corridor package will deliver. These are demonstrations on illustrative inputs, not findings about the corridor, and they carry the release stamps the engine assigned.

Audit board memo

Our audit of an outside study: claims inventoried, evidence attached, gaps named, and a plain not-release-safe ruling with what would close it.

What the data spine checks

Missing inputs become evidence, not silence.

Before any figure is written, the engine checks the public data sources a study depends on and records each as live, cached, credential-required, failed, partial, not applicable, or not supplied. A missing input is turned into an evidence object and named in the pack, so the study begins from a governed scan rather than a blank assumptions page. The source-status record from the sample pack shows that scan in machine-readable form.

What remains human-reviewed

Analyst-led, and honest about the stage.

This is a preliminary viability screen against a submitted pro forma and the public source record. It does not yet replace a full feasibility study, and it is not a site recommendation. A person stands behind every conclusion, and the package states what it establishes and what it does not.
