We consider improving P owheg+ M inlo simulations, so as to also render them NLO accurate in the description of observables receiving contributions from events with lower parton multiplicity than present in their underlying NLO calculation. On a conceptual level we follow the strategy of the so-called M inlo′ programs. Whereas the existing M inlo′ framework requires explicit analytic input from higher order resummation, here we derive an effective numerical approximation to these ingredients, by imposing unitarity. This offers a way of extending the M inlo′ method to more complex processes, complementary to the known route which uses explicit computations of high-accuracy resummation inputs. Specifically, we have focused on Higgs-plus-two-jet production (H jj) and related processes. We also consider how one can cover three units of multiplicity at NLO accuracy, ie we consider how the H jj-M inlo simulation may yield NLO accuracy for inclusive H, H j and H jj quantities. We perform a feasibility study assessing the potential of these ideas.
