Simulations:
Our HighValue point, comparison, and area techniques are combined in a multi-unit simulation which can evaluate (using the price elasticity of demand computed by multiple point analyses) the expected responses of the market to various strategies following the purchase or takeover of a chain of elder housing facilities. Should facility "A" be upgraded (can the market absorb the price?), downpriced (what will be the response of the market to a $5.00 daily rate average decrease in rates?), or should the facility be sold? What margins can be expected if operations were to be conducted more efficiently? These are typical questions to be answered for 10-20 facilities in a 100-facility field covering an area of 1,000 block groups.
Everything in a simulation is hand-crafted, the programming, the PhD Demographer's work, the PhD Decision Scientist's input, the Operational experience input, and all other elements of the analysis.
Slightly more extensive examples are inside the site. We prefer to do simulations only for clients we know well and for whom we have done other forms of analysis.
