Explore capability, size, city tier, workplace, workforce and operating-model choices through a structured preliminary planning flow.
Version 1.1 · Updated 26 August 2026 · Responsive interface · No live market feeds · Methodology remains visible below the result.
The simulator helps leadership teams compare preliminary combinations of capability, centre size, city tier, workplace, workforce and operating model. It converts user-selected priorities into an illustrative fit view and identifies the evidence that must be validated before investment.
It does not provide a final site-selection decision, verified market valuation, legal advice, tax advice, incentive eligibility or guaranteed cost and talent availability. Final decisions require current role-level, location-level, financial, regulatory and operational due diligence.
Select capability and centre scale before choosing a city.
Select city tier, city, workplace, workforce and operating model.
Allocate priority points; they affect what must be researched first, not a city’s factual score.
High, Moderate or Conditional describes preliminary alignment of the selected combination.
The primary functional mandate planned for the centre.
A planning headcount range, not a hiring forecast.
A Clikin Tech planning lens, not an official government classification.
The order in which evidence should be validated; they do not represent empirical market weights.
The selected operating combination has fewer obvious design conflicts, subject to evidence.
The combination is plausible but needs focused validation and trade-off analysis.
One or more choices require redesign, staged scale or stronger evidence before proceeding.
The public simulator is an initial planning aid. It does not replace current market data, legal, tax, incentive, real-estate or role-level analysis.
Complete seven clear steps, then adjust the priorities. The result updates immediately with a preliminary fit view and specific validation actions.
The selected combination is structurally plausible. Validate current talent, total cost, policy, workplace, leadership and continuity evidence before a decision.

Public-source links guide due diligence; they do not automatically populate a city score.
No live market feeds or validated 0–100 city scores are used. The band reflects only compatibility of the selected planning choices.
Use the output to frame assumptions and comparison questions before commissioning detailed feasibility, location, legal, tax, workplace and workforce analysis.
Test skill depth, seniority, compensation, notice periods, competition and leadership availability.
Include compensation, benefits, workplace, technology, compliance, leadership, attrition and operating overhead.
Review infrastructure, business continuity, regulatory obligations, data needs and operational dependencies.
Clarify entity, ownership, governance, workforce, workplace, partner responsibilities and transfer path.
A structured engagement can validate capability, location, cost, leadership, workforce, governance and mobilisation priorities.
