We rewrote from scratch the model for how much firms are making money. We call this unit economics! Now each business sector has a different demand curve, this means there is a cap for how much they can sell, depending on different conditions:

  • Agriculture (A)Sells produce to external markets; demand is unlimited. Production is capped by available water
  • Manufacturing (C): Manufactures goods for export; demand is unlimited. Each unit produced consumes energy

  • Construction (F): Demand scales with active construction projects and road maintenance

  • Wholesale & Retail (G): Demand is driven mostly by city population, with a smaller boost from tourism

  • Accommodation & Food (I): Demand is driven mostly by tourism, with a smaller contribution from city population

  • Information & Communication (J): Monthly sales depend on founder talent. Most companies never find product-market fit; a few turn into unicorns

  • Finance and Insurance (K): Serves businesses across the city; demand grows with the number of companies in other sectors

  • Real Estate (L): Demand grows with the number of private properties in the city

  • Administrative Support (N): Serves businesses across the city; demand grows with the number of companies in other sectors

  • Education (P): A public service. Capacity is set by city policy, not market demand

  • Health & Social (Q): A public service. Capacity is set by city policy, not market demand

  • Arts & Entertainment (R): Demand grows with city population and tourism

Opening the company inspector now shows the business sector class and the demand curve model. It is possible now also to inspect all the companies that are in a multi-firm address like office buildings.
