# 📦 DEALA — *Differentiated Economic Assessment in a Life cycle-oriented Analysis*
**DEALA** is a Python package developed to perform comprehensive and differentiated **economic assessments** within **Life Cycle (Sustainabiltiy) Assessment (LC(S)A)** or **Life Cycle Costing studies (LCC)**. It enables the integration of economic data and includes three pre-defined economic life cycle impact assessment methods for the calculation of the economic impacts. DEALA builds upon existing LCA frameworks such as [Brightway2](https://brightway.dev/) and supplements them with custom databases and impact categories tailored for economic evaluation.
---
## 📚 Further Information
Detailed information about the DEALA method can be found in the following scientific publication:

## 🚀 Key Features
1. **Three economic LCIA methods**
Includes DEALA-Cost, DEALA-Profit, and DEALA-Invest as built-in economic characterization models.
2. **Integrated marketsphere database**
Provides a ready-to-use database that enables the calculation of economic impacts via the characterization models.
3. **Support for life cycle sustainability assessments (LCSA)**
DEALA enables unified assessments of economic, environmental, and social impacts of production systems on a consistent level.
4. **Practical case study included**
A worked example on pan production is provided in the [`deala/notebooks/pan_production.ipynb`](deala/notebooks/pan_production.ipynb) notebook to demonstrate the application of the DEALA method.
5. **Example files and templates**
Includes example datasets and templates to guide users through typical DEALA workflows.
6. **Regionalized and time-dependent assessments**
Enables economic assessments that account for regional specifics and temporal developments.
