The terminal combines published fiscal assumptions with public market and macroeconomic data feeds.

Fiscal Assumptions

The base fiscal assumptions are configured from Alberta's published budget materials and should be reviewed after every new official budget or fiscal update.

The methodology page explains how those assumptions flow into the scenario model.

Market Inputs

The app uses public market references for WTI and Western Canadian Select, then calculates the light-heavy differential as WTI minus WCS.

Because public quote pages can change format, the sources page flags that a source-rights and reliability review is recommended before large-scale monetization.

Public APIs

Bank of Canada Valet endpoints provide exchange-rate and bond-yield observations.

Alberta economic data endpoints provide natural gas and earnings series used as public-data proxies.

Use the live terminal to test these assumptions directly, or read the methodology page for the model limitations.
