A Flask-based web application for performing economic analysis calculations, including worklife expectancy, annual earnings factors, and present value calculations.

• Evaluee Management (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
• Demographics Calculator (anchored at Date of Injury)
• Worklife Factor Calculator
• Annual Earnings Factor (AEF) Calculator
• Earnings Calculator with multi-scenario support
• Support for discounting calculations
• Excel report generation
• Modern, responsive UI with Bootstrap 5

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/economic-analysis.git
cd economic-analysis

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set up environment variables:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your configuration

5. Initialize the database:

flask db upgrade

The application supports different environments through configuration classes:

• Development: SQLite database, debug mode enabled
• Production: PostgreSQL database, debug mode disabled
• Testing: In-memory SQLite database

Set the FLASK_CONFIG environment variable to choose the configuration:

export FLASK_CONFIG=development  # or production, testing

1. Development server:

flask run

2. Production server (using gunicorn):

gunicorn "forensic_econ_app:create_app()"
