Economic land score simulator

The eight criteria of the grid

Nature of the activity — priority of the targeted plot It is stated on the technical sheet attached to the plot's listing on the platform, before you apply. It is the heaviest criterion in the grid.

Investment amount (DZD) — · Total project cost, as it will be declared and carried into the techno-economic study.

Equity contribution (% of the amount) This criterion is read together with the previous one: their correlation measures your ability to raise the financing you announce.

Permanent jobs planned Direct, permanent positions created by the project at cruising capacity.

Share of fixed-term contracts in the workforce (%) Below 20 % is worth 60 points, 30 % or more only 10: fifty points hang on the choice of contract type.

Investment extension The grid provides only for the first two cases; an entirely new project scores nothing on this line.

Share of exports in output (%) Share of exports in projected output. A light criterion, but documenting it costs nothing.

Integration rate — local content (%) Value of locally produced inputs relative to total inputs of the manufactured product.

A score that decides access to the decision, not the decision

Applications for economic land are processed digitally: projects are ranked in decreasing order of score, and the Agency draws up a list of those classified in the three highest score levels. That list is then submitted anonymously to the board of directors.

The score therefore does not decide alone — but it decides who gets examined. Outside the three highest levels a file never reaches the board, whatever its merits. The first objective is not to be the best: it is to enter the range where you are read.

Four lines make 85 % of the score

Measured against the 1500-point maximum, the grid is not balanced: nature of the activity (420), investment amount (360), employment (300) and equity contribution (200) together account for 1280 points. The remaining four criteria cap out at 220 points combined — less than the employment criterion alone.

The consequence is practical. A file is won first on the consistency between the targeted plot and the actual activity, then on a credible amount/equity pairing. Secondary criteria do not make up for an error on the first ones — but they are lost for free whenever nobody bothers to compute them.

What this simulator does not tell you

It applies the published grid, nothing more. It ignores the conformity of supporting documents, the examination of declared information, the actual availability of the targeted plot, and the board's final assessment, which takes into account the importance of the project and its impact on the national economy.

It is therefore neither a forecast nor a guarantee of award. Its only use is upstream: seeing, before you file, which points are already secured and which are being lost on figures nobody took the trouble to calculate.
