❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GPOD's borough analytics.

How accurate is the NEET geographic mapping?

GPOD's mapping is accurate to individual postcode level. We combine data from multiple sources including council records, DWP data (where available), and real-time registrations through our platform. The system updates automatically as new data becomes available, ensuring you always have the most current view of your NEET distribution. Councils typically find our mapping identifies 15-20% more NEET individuals than their existing systems by capturing those who aren't engaging with traditional services.

How is ROI calculated and is it credible for Finance teams?

Our ROI calculation follows HM Treasury Green Book methodology and is designed to satisfy the most rigorous scrutiny from Finance teams and external auditors. We calculate:

  • Direct benefit savings using current DWP figures
  • Tax and NI contributions based on verified employment data
  • Reduced service demand across council departments
  • Wider social value metrics including health improvements and reduced justice system costs

We provide detailed methodology documentation that shows how every figure is calculated, and the system allows Finance teams to adjust assumptions to create different scenarios. All calculations are based on verified outcomes, not projections or estimates.

How does GPOD integrate with our existing council systems?

GPOD offers flexible integration options for council systems:

  • Secure API connections for real-time data flow
  • Scheduled data imports/exports via SFTP
  • Manual data upload/download in standard formats
  • Custom integrations for specific council requirements

We've successfully integrated with a wide range of council systems including Capita, Northgate, and custom-built databases. Our approach is to make integration as simple as possible while ensuring data security and accuracy.

  • UK-based data storage in ISO 27001 certified facilities
  • Comprehensive Data Processing Agreements for all councils
  • Data minimization principles built into all aspects of the platform
