- Complete all Indices work: a) ensure Integration Index wrapped up; b) develop further the concept for a Growth and Economic Index looking at scoring each link of the SRN by assessing how much significance the link plays in assisting current economic activity, and also how reliant the economy is on that part of the SRN. The tool will also score the SRN links by how much pressure it is under by future growth aspirations; c) develop a Freight Index

Integration of Asset information (waiting on first draft of State of the Network report from SES). Explore use of Microsoft co-pilot as a tool to assist in results interpretation. Workshop the use of NILA outputs. Lots of options to explore. Either a) decide a-priori on NILA inputs with SMEs and analyse results, b) explore a multi-dimensional results space to find an approach aligning to strategic priorities, or c) something in between. Lots of work to be done in this area. Determine potential use of NILA outputs in Route Strategy objective setting. Explore alignment of NILA outputs with other strategic aims and determine candidate route objectives. Update NILA tool to work with New Network Model.
