About this file
This document is a Sole Source Document dated May 9, 2023, issued by Lightcast to the City of Tampa, Florida, detailing the unique capabilities of Lightcast Developer, a web-based software product for regional economic and workforce analysis. The software provides specialized tools for examining industry clusters, workforce availability, supply chain dynamics, business expansion opportunities, recruiting target regions, and business retention risks. Lightcast Developer offers proprietary methodologies that distinguish it from other market analysis tools, including a unique unsuppression technique for government datasets, a proprietary input-output model capable of breaking down job multipliers to the 5-digit SOC level, and automated industry cluster analysis using Harvard Business School (Michael Porter) methodology.
The sole source justification emphasizes three key proprietary features: the Proprietary Unsuppression Methodology, which allows Lightcast to reveal suppressed data points in government datasets; the Proprietary Input-Output Model, which provides granular job multiplier analysis; and the HBR Industry Cluster Analysis, which enables automated cluster analysis using weighted indices. The document serves to establish Lightcast Developer as the exclusive source for these specialized economic and workforce analytical capabilities, positioning the software as a critical tool for municipal economic development and workforce planning strategies.

This letter serves as a sole source document for Lightcast Developer, a web-based software product used for analysis of regional industry clusters, workforce availability, industry supply chain and gaps, business expansion opportunities, business recruiting target region identification, and business retention risks.
Developer is designed and provided by Lightcast. Developer incorporates modeling and analysis based on Lightcast’s proprietary economic data and methodologies. Developer and Lightcast data are the sole source available for the following:
Proprietary Unsuppression Methodology Many of the data points in the government datasets Lightcast incorporates into its final industry and occupation data are suppressed. Lightcast applies its own proprietary methodology to unsuppress these data points prior to incorporating them into its final industry and occupation data.
Proprietary Input-Output Model Lightcast provides a proprietary input-output model that is unique in its ability to break out jobs multipliers to the 5-digit SOC level, and in its integration with other industry and occupation labor market data.
HBR Industry Cluster Analysis Lightcast offers automated cluster analysis using Harvard Business School (Michael Porter) industry clusters ranked along multiple user-weighted indices.
