## Prototype

| Activity | Description | Date | Link | 
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| DeFi category | Latest clickable prototype in sync with scoring MVP, basic data profile & DeFi category | Dec, 2023 | [link](https://web3-privacy-git-dw-tweaks-develit-io.vercel.app/category/defi) |
| ETHRome prototype | Live demo built during ETHRome hackathon | Oct, 2023 | [link](https://web3privacy-app.vercel.app/) |

## UI

**Research purposes**
- _Non-techies readiness_: find, specify & map key parameters non-technical person could consider during privacy assessment
- _Machine-readable data_: find data that can be scrapped in the future & minimise human error
- _Communal effort_: get active community feedback on scoring - make it communal & less subjective

## Dataset

**Research purposes**
- _Machine-readable data_: find data that can be scrapped in the future & minimise human error
- _Human labour_: map down data that should be aggregated manually (with potential for automation)
- _Data formats_: map down the way projects share data publicly, highlight differences that should be unified from "docs.project name" link to GitHub link in the same place (bottom of the landing)

## Scoring model

**Research purposes**
- _Non-techies readiness_: find, specify & map key parameters non-technical person could consider during privacy assessment
- _Machine-readable data_: find data that can be scrapped in the future & minimise human error
- _Communal effort_: get active community feedback on scoring - make it communal & less subjective
