Projects ID cards are a generic entry point to store and access the information about the projects identified within the use ecosystem. As such, it includes both some very descriptive formal information regarding the projects and some more comprehensive information regarding the activities, outcomes and stakeholders involved in the projects.
8
The “projectsassessment radars” are built based on the information collected in the projects ID Cards. They support an initial synthetic understanding of the projects  based on a rating on some key dimensions related to their orientation towards data, sustainability, etc.
9
Together, Projects ID Cards and Assessment radars should be used to support a better understanding of interaction within the use ecosystem and how DestinE based services can contribute to their activities.

STEP 1 - Fill in the descriptive information using publicly available sources
12
- Start by collecting all basic factual information about the projects from open and reliable sources.
- Relevant sources may include official publications, public reports, websites, press releases, or any other publicly accessible documents.
- Ensure that this descriptive information is accurate, up to date, and relevant to the context of your project.
13
14
STEP 2 - Gather and synthesize comprehensive information relevant to your project
15
- Complement the descriptive data with deeper insights that directly support your project needs.
- Relevant sources may include official publications, internal documentation, public reports, websites, organizational charts, press releases, market analyses, or project-specific materials, or any other publicly accessible documents.
- social networks, Interviews & expert inputs may also help to get access to finer-grained knowledge about the stakeholder
- Summarize this information to build a consolidated understanding of the projects main focus, orientation, stakeholders, timeline and relevant contact point
- Highlight the key elements that will inform your assessment in your ID Card

Important note : keep in mind that ID Cards should be kept evolving along the course of the project, so feed them iteratively as you gather informations along the course of the project

STEP 3 - Evaluate the projects across the defined assessment themes
18
- Using the table provided, assess each stakeholder on the specific orientation and competency themes.
- For each theme, assign a grade out of 5 and provide qualitative observations or comments explaining the score.
- The grading should be based on the qualitative data gathered in step 1 and 2, but should be refined over the course of the project as new knowledge regarding users is gathered
19
The assessment themes are:
20
➜ Orientations (ie. The projects' key focuses)
21
• Orientation towards data (Does the project focus on the exploitation of data?)
22
• Orientation toward Earth Observation (Does the project seek to develop solutions based on Earth Observation?)
23
• Orientation towards sustainability & environmental issues (Does the project seek to adress sustainability and environmental issues?)
24
• Orientation towards Design & Innovation (Does the project seek to design new solutions and/or adress new problems?)
25
• Orientation towards commercial outcomes (Does the project seek to propose commercial solution in the end?)
26
• Orientation towards scientific outcomes (Does the project seek to advance scientific knowledge?)
27
• Orientation towards policy outcomes (Does the project seek to support policy development?)

This structured evaluation allows you to compare projects, identify strengths and gaps, and better understand how each one can contribute link to your project.
31
32
STEP 4 - Compare the evaluation of each project to identify the most interesting project to pay attention to.
33
• Review the radar chart, which automatically fills in as the project evaluations are completed.
34
• To put the evaluation of the different projects into perspective, simply copy and paste the ratings given to each project progressively into the columns of the table found in the 'Project comparison' tab.
35
• By comparing the assessments of the different projects, it is possible to share a concise analysis with team members and identify the projects that appear to be the most interesting.
