For Journalists
Describe outputs as modeled scenarios or estimates, not official forecasts.
When reporting a figure, mention the active assumptions that matter most, such as WTI, the light-heavy differential, USD/CAD, and whether live or manual values were used.
For questions, corrections, or interview requests, email lecavali@ualberta.ca.
For Researchers And Classrooms
Use the methodology and sources pages alongside any exported CSV so students or readers can inspect the assumptions.
The model is deterministic and intended for transparent sensitivity analysis. It should not be treated as a complete government cash-flow model.
Corrections
If a source, assumption, or explanation appears wrong, send the page URL, scenario link if relevant, and a short description of the issue.
Corrections should prioritize source accuracy, methodology clarity, and avoiding confusion with official government reporting.
