One of the web projects I worked on some years ago was visualisation of a research project into compensation levels for farmers who have had herds culled from Brucellosis.

It’s an interesting economic question - because farmers around the world feel the economic impact of losing their herd in entirely different ways. When you get the compensation value wrong though you make the outbreak worse - because farmers will shop around an infected animal to enable others to claim.

Internally the project was always known as the ‘cowcullator’...
