Partial The game UI, sliders, and household views are vibe-codeable. Presenting credible fiscal outcomes requires a macroeconomic and tax-benefit microsimulation model calibrated to official statistics, which is specialist work.
What it would actually take: The front end is a standard interactive web app. The core is a fiscal model that maps tax and spending settings to borrowing, growth, and household net income, calibrated to ONS/OBR data and run over representative household microdata such as the Family Resources Survey. Building that model needs economists or public-finance analysts to validate the assumptions.
