two countries, one adriatic, broken data
The board drafting the 2021-2027 roadmap needed a single evidence base. It sat fragmented across EU scoreboards and two national statistical systems, and the pandemic had just broken most current data series.
25 Italian provinces, 1,267 municipalities, 8 Croatian counties, €201M at stake.
from a whole territory to one roadmap
The same toolkit I run on a product, at national scale. Tap a stage to see how the evidence narrowed.
Two countries on one Adriatic: 25 Italian provinces, 1,267 municipalities, 8 Croatian counties, with €201M of funding depending on the read.
The territory mapped domain by domain, drawn from a fragmented base of EU scoreboards and two national statistical systems.
Every finding numbered, each with a code that traces back to its source, so the board could check any claim.
The findings synthesised into the areas the funding could actually act on.
Three weighted options for the board, and the one they funded for the 2021-2027 programme. The delta: evidence fragmented across two national systems became the single base the board drafted from.
what I took from it
The report froze at publication. I would argue for a versioned evidence base the programme can update between cycles.
When the pandemic broke the data series, we documented the decision to use the last reliable baseline, rather than hide the gap.
255 findings, each with a code that traces to its source. Traceability is what lets a funder trust a number.
