Economic Twin: an explorable model of the U.S. economy
A private-beta economic simulation that maps businesses, synthetic residents, geography, source data, modeled estimates, and AI-assisted analysis onto one explorable globe.
Field notes
The model distinguishes filed records from modeled estimates and simulations, with the page stating that every number carries a source, vintage, and confidence. Its business layer is built around archetype cards derived from company websites, including what a business sells, whom it serves, and what it buys, with supporting quotations. The proposed map also combines terrain and imagery with population, business, building, road, parcel, and label layers.
