ESA GMES: TerrafirmaUtility Report Version 7

Terrafirma UTILITY REPORT

Introduction

Each ‘Utility Report’ documents the complete use, life-cycle and impact of Terrafirma products and services delivered to Recipients and end-users. Recipients are asked to comment on the whole Terrafirma service, not just the PSI product.

This document provides the template for the Utility Report.

As a guideline, the Utility Report should include:

  • Case studies where the Terrafirma product has been used.
  • Accounts of integration with other data sources, e.g. GPS, levelling.
  • Examples of user end-products (e.g. assessments reports, forecasts, warnings).
  • Assessment of impact and benefit – This should include consideration of the following:
  • What is the nature of impactsand benefits, e.g. more cost-effective, unique?
  • How critical are the impactsand benefits?
  • Critical analysis of utility for end-user-organisation – should include consideration of:
  • Perceived value vs.value needed to generate benefits.
  • Compliance of service with working practices, operational standards, information validation procedures and reporting requirements.
  • Ease of integration with additional information sources.
  • Comparison with alternative services and information sources including:
  • Identification of divergences in service performance levels and capabilities.
  • Comparison of the performance between Terrafirma suppliers and alternative providers of similar services.
  • Recommendations for:
  • Service improvements, e.g. coverage, response time?
  • Product improvements, e.g. information content, validation?
  • Record of complaints, problems, resolutions.
  • Value statements.

IMPORTANT!

So-called 'value-statements' from recipients are immensely useful for demonstrating to politicians and those that decree the future of Terrafirma that these services are actually useful in real-life situations and should receive wider funding. Therefore, please ensure to record and include any 'value statements' regarding the Terrafirmaservice. These statements will be used in a second version of the Terrafirma Atlas (collection of results, interpretations and value statements). Please see the first Terrafirma Atlas for examples of such statements.

If yes, please rank the degree of relevance from 1 (low) to 5 (high relevance): ______.
Did the results confirm already known or suspected phenomena (Y/N)? ______.
If yes, please rank the relevance of them, from 1 (not useful) to 5 (important): ______.
Did you notice any particular negative results, e.g. lack of PS in areas of interest, PS results clearly in contrast with some ground truth evidences, etc. (Y/N)? ______.
Please, specify them: ______
______.
F – Availability of ground truth data
Identifying relevant ground truth data, to which you have direct access, and which could be made available for future PSI validation projects, is a important for the Terrafirma project. Note that the freedom (no restriction) to disseminate the validation results is considered an important asset. Do you have relevant ground truth data (Y/N)? ______.
Please rank the ground truth quality 1 (low) to 5 (high): ______.
For high quality datasets please specify the type of available data. Note that this information can be particularly useful to select validation sites for future PSI projects. ______.
G – Assessment of impact and benefit
What are the benefits of the Terrafirma (TF) products for your existing service?:
Applications / Benefits
For what applications would you use Terrafirma products?
E.g. Monitoring structural stability, verifying insurance claims / What are the practical benefits of Terrafirma products?
E.g. I can now identify unstable areas at a glance and send out structrural engineers accordingly / What decision making processcould it help?
E.g. the data could be used to better define a housing management plan / How much could you save by using Terrafirma products?
E.g. x km² could now be monitored with more detail, this is equivalent to x of our current measurements every 2 years, Using Terrafirma products could save one day a month in the field which is equivalent to 700 Euros/month
H – New opportunities
What new opportunities might the unique attributes of Terrafirma bring to your organisation? (E.g. I can now measure stability of entire town, not before possible):
I – Critical analysis of utility for end-user-organisation
J – Recommendations for service improvements
K – Recommendations for products improvements
L– Potential additional end users
