See how a policy plays out before you commit to it.

When automation displaces workers, PolicySimAI projects how they respond — who retrains, who searches for similar work, who exits, who takes a job below their skill level — and shows how retraining subsidies and Universal Basic Income shift the outcome. Every projection is calibrated to UK official statistics and validated against real displacement episodes.

From Scenario to Decision

Simulate, compare, and commit — all in one workflow.

1

Describe the scenario

Tell PolicySimAI the shock you're facing — a wave of automation displacing a group of workers — and the levers you're weighing, like a retraining subsidy or UBI.

2

Run the simulation

A calibrated choice model projects how each type of worker responds — retrain, seek similar work, exit, or accept underemployment — across a synthetic population.

3

Compare and decide

Read the outcome breakdown and stakeholder trade-offs, test alternative levers side by side, and take a defensible brief into the room.

Simulations You Can Trust

Every run ends in a decision-ready brief — grounded in a statistical core, not a black box.

Ministerial summary

Policy Briefs

Three or four sentences a minister can act on — synthesised from the outcome breakdown, per-archetype behaviour, and a structured dialogue between stakeholder perspectives.

How the numbers hold up

AI layer — explains

Narrates, flags anomalies, weighs stakeholder trade-offs.

Statistical core — decides

A calibrated choice model runs every per-tick projection.

The AI explains. The economics decides.

The language model never touches the outcome math. Every number traces back to a validated, versioned model — reproducible and defensible to any economist on your team.

Built on Peer-Reviewed Research

The engine is a calibrated discrete-choice model — the standard framework in labour economics — fit to published data and checked against displacement events that actually happened.

3 episodes

Validated against real displacement

Redcar, Port Talbot, and the German Hartz reforms — cross-validated leave-one-episode-out.

RMSE ≤ 0.10

On held-out historical outcomes

The out-of-sample error is printed on the cover of every model — no accuracy claim without a number.

Every model versioned

Auditable, not verbal

Coefficients, the episodes that fit them, and the validation score ship as versioned files in source control.

Mission & Vision

Transforming policy analysis with AI — so decisions can be tested before they’re made.

Our Mission

We help institutions test the likely effects of policy decisions before real-world rollout — combining AI, structured scenario analysis, and digital twin thinking so governments, researchers, and organisations can explore economic, fiscal, and social outcomes with greater speed, transparency, and accountability.

Our aim is to make policy testing more accessible, evidence-led, and auditable, so decision-makers can assess trade-offs and act with greater confidence.

Who is behind it

Policy, business, academic, and AI specialists.

A team built for high-stakes decisions.

PolicySimAI is made up of a team of policy, business, academic, and AI specialists who have worked with public institutions on complex, high-stakes decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

You describe an automation shock — a group of workers displaced — and the levers you're weighing, such as a retraining subsidy or Universal Basic Income. A calibrated choice model projects how each type of worker responds across a synthetic population, and PolicySimAI presents the outcomes in a clear, decision-ready brief.
