Types of modelling projects

The following table shows the different types of project types, highlighting their unique features and use cases.

	Snapshot	Max Fuel Loads	AWP Forecast	AWP Evaluation	BFRMP	Modelled Impact Time	Individual Treatment Comparison	Brigade Treatment Comparison
Project goal	Assesses the current bush fire risk across the state	Assesses the maximum impact of bush fire risk across the state.	Assesses the efficiency of potential future Annual Works Plans across the state.	Assesses the impact of bush fire mitigation undertaken the previous year.	Assesses factors that affect the bush fire risk in a BFMC to inform BFRMPs.	Assesses which ignitions could impact the asset of interest and the time to impact.	Assesses different treatment options to understand the differences in risk reduction.	Assesses different treatment options to understand the differences in risk reduction.
