Here we track general research across all Platform related activities.

Current stage: MVP prototyping

• Define minimum dataset + scoring to be deployed
• Deliver sync between Platform & GitHub data inputs (to be updated over time)

Prototype

Activity	Description	Date	Link
DeFi category	Latest clickable prototype in sync with scoring MVP, basic data profile & DeFi category	Dec, 2023	link
ETHRome prototype	Live demo built during ETHRome hackathon	Oct, 2023	link

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)

• 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
