DAFI
the Data Analytics Functionality Index
What is DAFI?
Data-driven decision-making has the power to transform businesses, translating insights into actionable strategies that drive growth, innovation, and enhanced customer satisfaction. However, many organizations fail to fully realize this potential due to insufficient assessment and planning. To address this challenge, we introduce the Data Analytics Functionality Index (DAFI), a tool that empowers organizations to make informed decisions about their data analytics initiatives. Similar to the Nutri-Score system for evaluating nutritional value, DAFI provides a standardized, visual assessment of a project's functionality and potential impact.
How DAFI works
DAFI is determined based on a thorough questionnaire that covers different aspects of the assessed project, as described in this diagram. A score is calculated for each indicator, and an overall weighted score is used to determine the DAFI of the project.

MEASURABILITY
Measures the actionability of the project’s outcomes.
FEASIBILITY
Measures strategic and operational feasibility within the organization.
VERIFIABILITY
