This one will be helpful in determining whether any future government projects are worth investing for or worth spending for like building infrastructures like bridges, highways or water sewage systems and the like. Objectives:

• To know ahead whether future projects of the government will be useful and not worthless by simulating it first.
• To prevent wasting government budget for bad investments or projects.
• To improve quality of such projects for the betterment of its usage.
