How To Read The Alberta Budget Terminal Model

The balance figure is the current modeled fiscal position under the active inputs. It is not an official forecast; it is the output of the sensitivity model.

The break-even WTI estimate shows the oil price that would balance the model after the other active inputs are considered.

Each input can be live or manual. Live values show source health and timestamps. Manual values let you test an assumption without waiting for a source refresh.

The impact ladder shows which inputs explain the biggest movement from the budget anchor.
