The economic report and the assumptions underneath it. A job-creation study projects positions from expenditure using an accepted input-output model, and its conclusion is only as sound as the inputs. The investor should see the construction budget, the operating projections, the multipliers applied and the reasoning for each, not merely the headline number of jobs per investor.
The headline number is a conclusion; ask for the inputs
A report saying that each investor's capital supports fourteen positions is offering a margin above the statutory ten, and how comfortable that margin is depends entirely on the assumptions. Construction spending that is later reduced produces fewer jobs. A delayed opening moves revenue outside the measurement period.
Expenditure categories that turn out to be ineligible drop out altogether. Hypothetical example: an investor from Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton is given a fifteen-page summary and told the underlying model is proprietary. That answer is itself information.
He is entitled to understand what the projection rests on, because at the second stage it is his own petition that must show ten jobs were actually created and sustained, and no one else answers for a shortfall. Reading the offering documents alongside the report, with counsel who is not acting for the project, is the ordinary precaution.
