What makes Alex different

Methods built here, for questions national tools answer poorly.

Invest Hamilton County built these because generic tools kept giving local decisions confident answers with no source behind them.

Skills with a price. Not just job titles.

Most labor-market tools describe work by its title. Alex also prices the skills underneath it, using federal ratings of 35 skills across 738 occupations matched to federal wage data for metro areas nationwide.

About 85%of the pay differences between occupations nationally are explained by differences in skills, and about 80% within a metro area.
About 71%within a metro area when the model is tested on occupations it has never seen.
Job seekersWhich skill to grow next, and which nearby job already pays for what they do.
EmployersRecruiting pools that include people who have the skills, not only people who hold the title.
CommunitiesWhere workers could move if an industry contracts, and whom a new employer could hire.

Built entirely from public federal data: O*NET 30.2 and BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025.

Community strategy

From one person's decision to a whole community's direction.

The same evidence that helps someone choose a job helps a county choose where to invest. Alex gives leaders a shared picture to plan from.

Economic impact, before the vote

Estimate the jobs, earnings and output a proposed development creates directly, through its suppliers and through household spending, then carry the result into property tax, local income tax, the cost of services and new students for each school district. Compare scenarios side by side.

The county, mapped to the parcel

More than 6,400 commercial and industrial parcels with assessed value, tax-increment district and Opportunity Zone status, and all 57 census tracts with indicators on income, housing, health, commuting and lending. Businesses are placed by their actual location, never by ZIP code.

Evidence into action

Alex does more than show you a number.

  1. 01

    Start from your own question

    Not a dashboard tour. You say what you are deciding, and Alex opens the tool that answers it.

  2. 02

    See the evidence, and its limits

    Every figure arrives with its source, its geography, its vintage and what it cannot tell you.

  3. 03

    Leave with something you can use

    A range you can print, a plan you can follow, a sourced paragraph you can put in a proposal.

Built here, ready to grow
