Forget copy-paste
transferability models.

Choose place-based,
data-driven replication.

INSPIRE™ goes beyond generic scaling
strategies by accounting for placesensitive
features in potential replication
sites.
Through the dual assessment of solution
features and site-specific variables,
INSPIRE™ uncovers optimal replication
scenarios.

Multi-sectorial Application

INSPIRE™ evaluates solutions for replicability across diverse domains, enabling the effective transfer of regulatory, technological, economic, infrastructural, and societal innovations.

Multi-dimensional Assessments

INSPIRE™ evaluates solution deployment using a multi-dimensional framework based on contextspecific regulatory, technological, environmental, economic, and socio-cultural factors.

Data-Driven Insights

INSPIRE™ uses a mathematical model to match solution-specific characteristics with context-dependent conditions and reveal replication potential.

Decision Support

Spotlights solutions most promising for replication to drive informed decision-making.

Actionable Visual Insights

Generates reports with solutions ranked based on a 0 to 100% replication potential score.

Flexibility

Adapts to any sector, setting, and scale.

Will it work elsewhere?

Discover the replication
potential

Find out if a sustainable urban solution, an innovative technology, a successful policy incentive or governance model can be effectively replicated across different local contexts and socio-economic conditions.

Strategic evaluation to support smart replication choices

INSPIRE™ empowers informed decisions by evaluating replication readiness, flagging risks early, and helping you address challenges before rollout. Re-run analyses anytime to track progress and boost replicability as your solution evolves.

Data Collection

INSPIRE™ uses tailored surveys to gather quantitative and qualitative data on solution-specific characteristics and context-dependent conditions.

Multi-dimensional Plotting

Solution variables (X) are plotted against context variables (Y) across regulatory, technological, socio-cultural and other key dimensions.

Replicability Analysis

A diagonal axis (replicability scale) indicates the replication success from 0–100% for each dimension.

Comprehensive Visualisation

INSPIRE™ provides clear visual insights into each solution’s potential, delivering a comprehensive, multi-dimensional ranking of the best solution fit for the given environment.
