Once the new Strategy is created, the Analysis Years and Inflation Factor fields are set, and can be modified later:
Analysis Years: This depends on the specific objectives of an agency's asset management strategies. For example, there may be either a short analysis period of 5 to 10 years, or a long-term network level perspective of the portfolio if modeled for 20 to 30 years. The default is 25 years.
Inflation Factor: This defines the rate of increase applied to costs incurred at a future date to reflect the relative purchasing power of money relatively to a particular time, usually the present. Inflation will increase future annual budgets and treatment costs, based on the % value set. The default is 0%.
