Add runway-related recommendations (Business Assessment Tool)

[aPruner]

Overview:

Ideally, our Business Assessment Tool should recommend specific courses of action to business owners based on their runway situation. The course of action a business owner should take will look drastically different if they have a decent amount of runway cash left (say, a year or two) vs if they have very little (maybe only 2-3 months).

What needs to be done:

1. Outline/define the recommended courses of action for businesses at different risk levels/runway predictions.
2. Create a button that renders after the risk level/runway is computed, that shows some UI (either a modal, separate page, etc) that recommends courses of action based on the risk level/runway (implement logic and UI based on results of step 1).

Criteria of success:

1. Realistic recommended courses of actions are created.
2. Responsive UI is created that recommends courses of action based on risk level/runway.

Apologies for the delay, many exciting developments for us :)

Fully agree Adam!

The recommendations should offer specific courses of action and would have: Inputs: Industry (different industries would have different recommendations), Runway (including % decrease in revenue as it's required for some programs), Location (some programs are only available at the provincial level), premise (some things are relevant for companies trying to digitize like https://digitalmainstreet.ca/) Outputs: Tips & Tricks, Opportunities, Funding

Every aid item could have prerequisite fields that correspond to the inputs so that it's easy to parse through everything and return a tailored list of recommendations to the user.

Say if there's a restaurant, after running the simulation a potential aid item might return with:

{ Title: "GMO Food Subsidy, Feed People Plastic!" Description: "People want cheap, you want money! With the new..." Link: "www.plasticfoodgrants.com" Prerequsites: {industry: "Restaurant", cashOnHand: 100, monthlyRevenue: 10, monthlyExpenses: 20, location: "V6P 3M5", premise: "offline"} }

For the industries we can use a list like this: https://gist.github.com/mbejda/19012b99a12e9d014389

It would make it very easy to dynamically generate relevant recommendations based on the user.

There's two aspects, one is on the data side and the other is on the front-end UI.

I think we can create two more sub-tasks for this:

1. Create updated mockups.
2. Create a document to start adding all the aid items with their fields, then creating a database to store them.

We can can organize a call on slack to break this down further if need be :)
