D5.2 – Demonstrator’s Activities Evaluation Results – First Report

This deliverable marks the first use of the Evaluation Framework as set out in D5.1. The deliverable reports on the technical evaluation of all that was available when the Alpha version of the PISTIS platform was released in September 2024.
The Evaluation Framework emphasised “evaluation as a management tool” and in this capacity, we revisited our “Theory of Change” for PISTIS and incorporated insights into how the project should evolve in the final year.
The technical testing showed that the Alpha Release of the platform served well its purpose of introducing the concept of PISTIS to the demonstrators and for letting them provide early feedback, while the overall potential of the platform as recorded by the demonstrators has been ranked as relatively high, as the majority of the features that were delivered fully were very well perceived.
A firm basis has been laid for moving forward for deploying and evaluating the Beta and Final versions.
