How AI describes CLASIC

The CLASIC tool is a web-based screening tool that uses a lifecycle cost framework to support decisions on stormwater infrastructure by evaluating green, hybrid green-gray, and gray practices. Users build scenarios with climate and land-use projections to estimate lifecycle costs, hydrologic performance (e.g., peak runoff, volume reduction), pollutant load reductions, and co-benefits via a multi-criteria decision analysis. Outputs are Life Cycle Cost, Performance, and Co-Benefits, designed for feasibility-level planning rather than design optimization, with tutorials and case studies to guide use.
