Targets

These are the Grant Agreement's own success criteria, not a locally invented scorecard. 3 of 7 are materially gated by the knowledge base's coverage and accuracy; the rest depend on UX, backend engineering or dissemination instead — flagged below rather than claimed.

A misroute is usually a modelling gap or a stale record, not a UX failure.

Utilisation of high-end instruments
Depends on niche/advanced services actually being findable — a discoverability problem the model has to solve.

The six outcomes

From the proposal's Impact section — each mapped to the work packages that own it. Where the narrative text and the KPI table above state different numbers for the same thing, that's noted rather than silently picking one.

Outcome 1

Better structured and strengthened European RI landscape

The Navigator and its ontology-based service descriptions tested/adopted in at least 10 Nodes by project end, at least 5 fully adopting the widget.

WP2WP3WP5
Outcome 2

AI-facilitated access for a broader user community

User base +30% (+25% from widening countries), ≥95% satisfaction, ≥0.30 DAU/MAU, and — per the KPI table rather than the narrative text, which cites a different figure — ≤4 weeks time-to-application.

WP1WP4
Outcome 3

Increased capacity to address EU policy priorities

Navigator stack targets TRL-6 by M36; facility-system adapters TRL-5; governance/compliance toolkits SRL≈5. SUS ≥75, uptake ≥50%, publications acknowledging Euro-BioImaging +20%.

WP4WP5WP6
Outcome 4

Reinforced global competitiveness of the ERA

International users +25% within two years; ≥100 cross-RI referrals/year; ≥25% of proposals combining ≥2 ERICs; white-label toolkit adopted by 3–5 ERICs; ≥20 services exposed via EOSC.

WP2WP3WP7
Outcome 5

Reduction in environmental impact

Energy consumption per user request reduced by >50% by project completion, via dynamic selection of the most energy-efficient model.

WP4WP6
Outcome 6

Increased long-term sustainability

Utilisation +15%, support quality +30%, ≥5 Navigator adoptions by other ERICs, ≥10% of operating costs from diversified post-grant funding.
