The Open–Trusted simulation suite
Models from the book, extended to 2025
Simplified, educational versions of the ReShore models and their 2025 extensions: tariffs, ESG, AI and critical minerals. PWD Group runs the full models, with your data, as an engagement.
Franco–Jones economic trade-off
Compare total landed cost offshore vs. domestic.
Open vs. Trusted governance
Classify networks along the Open ↔ Trusted spectrum.
Tariff optimization
Minimise landed cost under varying tariff scenarios.
Critical-mineral and rare-earth sourcing
Who mines and refines lithium and battery metals, and what a cheaper or cleaner sourcing plan looks like.
AI-enhanced resilience
Estimate how automation and workforce readiness improve resilience.
Demo: tariff impact and automation offset
Adjust the inputs to compare offshore landed cost with a domestic, trusted scenario. An educational illustration, not a policy or investment recommendation.
