Read the evidence in context
The report does not estimate a national causal effect or realised job total; scenario results are conditional. A linked firm-and-worker panel and market displacement map are absent, and historical firm evidence does not establish current programme outcomes.
The report’s original source definitions, assumptions and limitations govern its interpretation. References to other institutions do not imply their endorsement.
