In case it’s helpful, you may want to speak with Max Ghenis, cofounder & CEO of PolicyEngine, a tech nonprofit that computes the impacts of public policy, which your project proposal reminded me of. Here you can (quoting their calculator) “build a tax-benefit reform by selecting parameters from the menu (organised by government department)” and then “click Calculate economic impact to see how your reform would affect the economy, or Enter my household to see how it would affect a specific household”. They use microsimulation models based on tax and benefit calculations applied to representative survey data to calculate impact and have used AI since 2023 for policy analysis / explanations / insights. They have an X account too where you can check out what they’re about.
