Purpose-built for Canadian Economic Development Organizations (EDOs), Municipal CFOs, Federal & Provincial Ministries, Industry Associations, and Advisory Practices. Quantify Direct, Indirect, and Induced economic, fiscal tax, workforce, carbon, and distributional equity impacts across every Canadian jurisdiction with zero black-box heuristics.
Unlike generic calculators that apply uniform national averages or US-adapted proxies, TrueNorth models the exact industrial fabric, interprovincial trade linkages, and sub-provincial supply-chain retention of every Canadian community.
Anchored directly on Statistics Canada's Detail Supply and Use Tables (`220` Detail IOIC industries and `473` Detail IOCC commodities) across all 10 Provinces, 3 Territories, and the National consolidation, with exact own-industry Leontief diagonal purging (`L_ii`) for association footprint studies.
Sub-provincial regionalization across all `3,361` Census Subdivisions and CMAs uses Flegg's Location Quotient (`FLQ`) weighted across all `220` upstream B2B supplier industries (`L^WP_i,j`)—preventing single-industry enclave distortions while guarding against non-existent local resource extraction.
Every simulation simultaneously partitions economic and fiscal impacts into Ring 1 (Local Municipality/CMA), Ring 2 (Rest of Home Province), and Ring 3 (Rest of Canada across all 12 Partner Jurisdictions) using empirical interprovincial B2B and household trade matrices.
Every scenario shock automatically solves four empirical satellite accounts plus Phase 7 commodity, capital formation, and tourism unbundling—ready for Treasury Board, Municipal Council, or Board of Directors scrutiny.
Decomposes Federal (`PIT`, `CIT`, `GST`, `CPP/EI`), Provincial (`PIT`, `CIT`, `PST/HST/QST`, Payroll/Health, Resource Royalties), and Municipal (`C&I` & Residential Property Tax) revenues across Direct, Indirect, and Induced stages—including Public Grant Payback Horizon and NPV Fiscal ROI.
Couples Statistics Canada Physical Flow Accounts to compute physical greenhouse gas emissions (`Tonnes CO₂e`), energy requirements (`Terajoules`), ECCC Social Cost of Carbon valuation, and Federal Carbon Price (`$/t CO₂e`) exposure per `$1M` of GDP.
Maps industry FTE demand into all `516` 5-digit NOC 2021 occupations (`TEER 0–5`), regional wage distributions, Vacancy Tightness flags, and Living-Wage / Median-Wage job quality tiers.
Allocates labour income and household consumption across all 5 Household Disposable Income Quintiles (`Q1` Bottom 20% to `Q5` Top 20%), quantifying the Palma Inequality Ratio and Bottom-40% Income Capture for ESG and GBA+ mandates.
Override custom intermediate production recipes across `473` Detail IOCC commodities with automatic wholesale, retail, transport, and tax margin unbundling, or shock `172` Gross Fixed Capital Formation (`36-10-0096-01`) asset classes.
Unbundles visitor spending across Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Air/Ground Transport, Recreation, and Retail bundles by origin (`Domestic`, `US`, `International`) with empirical Net-to-Gross Displacement (`0%–100%`).
Compare TrueNorth's transparent, Statistics Canada-grounded architecture against legacy third-party software packages and traditional static consulting engagements.
| Capability / Audit Criterion | 🍁 TrueNorth Platform (truenorthecon.ca) | Legacy Black-Box Software | Traditional Custom Consulting Study |
|---|---|---|---|
| Underlying Data Architecture | 100% Official Statistics Canada Detail SUT (`220` IOIC × `473` IOCC) & 2021 Census Tables | Often relies on foreign-adapted bridge tables or synthetic proprietary assumptions | Varies by consultant; rarely exposes full vector-level reproducibility |
| Sub-Provincial Canadian Coverage | All `3,361` Canadian Municipalities (CSDs) & CMAs via 220-Sector Upstream Supplier `FLQ` | Limited Canadian municipal granularity or single-industry SLQ/FLQ distortion | Typically restricted to 1 jurisdiction per paid engagement |
| 3-Ring Spillover Accounting | Simultaneous Local CMA (Ring 1), Rest-of-Province (Ring 2) & 12-Partner Rest-of-Canada (Ring 3) | Requires expensive add-on region packs or manual multi-region linking | Weeks of custom modeling per additional region |
| Mathematical Verification | Live 12/12 Runtime Invariant Certificate (`0.000000%` variance vs. StatCan Provincial & National Tables) | Closed proprietary black box; equations and residuals cannot be audited | Static PDF report; client cannot test sensitivity or verify code |
| Workforce, Carbon, Fiscal & Equity Satellites | All 4 Satellites + Phase 7 ABP, 172-Asset GFCF & PTTSA Tourism included in every tier | Charged as separate modules or absent for Canadian jurisdictions | $10,000–$25,000 extra per satellite module |
| Turnaround Time & Cost | Instant (`<50ms`) · From $495 CAD per study or $4,950 CAD/yr unlimited | High annual per-region licensing fees + steep analyst training curve | 6 to 12 weeks · $25,000 to $75,000+ CAD per static report |
