=== Operations vs. Patients ===
**'''Issue: Sales remain the same each year from 2025 to 2030, but patients increase by more than 50% from 12k to 19k.**'''
Operations:
=== Discount Rate ===
**'''Issue: Discount rate is negative(!), not taken from the stated source, and entirely wrong!**'''
A discount rate of -0.3% was used, which represents the discount rate recommended by the Office of Management
=== Research funding ===
**'''Issues:**'''
* Estimating multiplier effects (in-state), especially for non-labor, when there is no in-state activity outside of UVM!
** In particular, there are no externalities to clinical trials or federal grants because there is no one else in the state to benefit from spillovers.
=== Students ===
**'''Issue: Students are somewhat double-counted (and their spillovers are quadruple-counted). Their economic benefit (while students) is already contained in the labor spend from operations or the grant income.'''
The spending of these relocated and retained students can be attributed to UVMCC.
