This page describes Upright's methodology for producing net impact data. For a description of what net impact metrics Upright provides, see .

Upright's net impact data is produced by the Upright net impact model. The following subsections detail how the Upright net impact model works:

  • Overview of the Upright net impact model: Overview of the Upright net impact model, which generates Upright's impact data. Includes a description of the model's high-level arhitecture along with subsections discussing its key algorithms.

  • Illustrative example in a simplified economy: Explains the Upright net impact model and its key algorithms end-to-end using an simplified example of small self-contained island economy. While simplified, the content is technical and expects understanding of some mathematical concepts from the reader - fully understanding the workings of the model at this level is not a prerequisite for using the Net Impact Model.
