A low runtime DCA model, ALICE, is used to model the few available photoionised plasma experiments that use both laser and pulse power devices. Modelling photoionised plasmas provides a computationally intensive problem which must therefore be solved by careful approximation emphasising the underlying physics. We will demonstrate the relative importance of the completeness of the set of configurations considered compared to the set of rates used in the model and draw conclusions as to how ALICE and other models may be improved for future use.
