Implements the P0 tier of Max's improvement plan — correct positioning and
remove inaccurate claims — across all seven pages. Grounded in the models'
actual verified behaviour.
Rename (product only; CLI `macromod`, package, repo URL, and MCP server name
unchanged): macromod/MacroMod -> PolicyEngine Macro in titles, meta, nav/footer
brand, and prose.
Accuracy / honesty fixes:
- Homepage: new hero ("Open models for the UK economy"), broader positioning
(macro suite under the PolicyEngine umbrella; not one reform scored four
ways). Removed the false "every model scores the same PolicyEngine reform
objects." Replaced "Statute in, economy out." with "Different questions need
different models" and a broader analysis workflow.
- Accurate model badges replacing the blanket "live": OBR/SVAR = hosted +
validated replication; OG-UK = local only + experimental; PolicyEngine =
hosted (household) + population planned.
- OBR page: dropped "the actual one" / "the OBR's own model" overclaims ->
"an open Python implementation of the OBR's published equations", added an
independent-implementation disclaimer (not produced/endorsed by the OBR) and
an honest anchored==EFO / raw-calibration status note.
- SVAR page: "right now" -> latest data vintage (packaged data end 2024 Q2),
data-vintage note, and an independent-replication disclaimer (Brignone &
Piffer 2025; not endorsed by the Bank of England).
- OG-UK page: local-only + experimental status, honest runtimes (17+ min
steady state, hours for transitions), verification grade (structural
counterfactual, no ground truth), broadened structural capabilities.
- PolicyEngine page: household (hosted) vs population (planned/local) made
explicit.
- docs: reframed opening away from "scores a policy reform", "right now" ->
vintage, added the verification-gradient statement (replications vs
structural counterfactual).
- Use-it page: confirmed illustrative outputs are labelled; clarified which
tools are hosted vs local-only.
- style.css: new access/status badge classes (hosted/local/planned/
experimental/replication).
P1-P3 of the plan (Questions page, capability registry, question router,
common result schema, comparison framework) are intentionally out of scope
here and left for review.

Summary
Implements the P0 tier of the improvement plan (from the Slack thread): rename to PolicyEngine Macro and fix inaccurate positioning/claims across all seven site pages. Every change is grounded in the models' actual verified behaviour, in the same honesty spirit as the OBR/BoE CI work.
A Vercel preview deployment will build for this PR — please review the rendered pages there.
What changed
Rename (product name only — the
macromodCLI/package, MCP server name, and repo URL are unchanged):macromod/MacroMod→ PolicyEngine Macro in titles, meta, nav/footer brand, and prose.Accuracy / honesty (P0):
hosted+validated replication; OG-UK =local only+experimental; PolicyEngine =hosted: household+population planned.Out of scope (left for review)
P1–P3 of the plan — Questions page, capability registry, deterministic question router, common request/result schema, and the model-comparison framework — are not in this PR. This is the "correct and clarify" sprint; the bigger product architecture should be reviewed before building.
