How to calculate direct local procurement and workforce shares with a transparent definition. The useful output is not a single number or ranking. The useful output is a transparent record of assumptions, evidence gaps and the next validation step.
Use the tool as a screen. Keep the inputs editable, preserve source dates and move material decisions to the appropriate professional, regulatory or organisational review.
Recommended sequence
- Define what qualifies as local under the applicable rule or policy.
- Use verified spend and workforce records for the same reporting period.
- Calculate direct shares before discussing broader economic effects.
- Record the target as a scenario unless a binding requirement has been independently confirmed.
What to record before sharing a result
Record the reporting period, source of each material input, the definition used for key terms, the methodology version and the limitations that remain unresolved. A result without this context is easier to misread.
