Thanks to its open structure, PROSA can also be used to analyse sustainability at other levels, such as technologies, large infrastructural projects or geographical units.

PROSA spans complete product life cycles and value chains; it assesses and evaluates the environmental, economic and social opportunities and risks of future development trajectories. PROSA is a process-driven and iterative methodology which gives due regard to time and cost restrictions. It calls as far as possible on existing, well-established individual tools (Megatrend Analysis, Life-Cycle Assessment, Life-Cycle Costing etc.).
