# IPFS Impact Framework
Considerations for scoring in 2023:
* Data onboarding opportunities
* Capital attraction
To add:
* Risk level
* Funnel stage?
* Green is covered, but a blue-focused factor maybe?
Test against:
* Existing implementation initiatives
* Existing integration initiatives
* Tools like a VS Code extension
* Education/docs/content initiatives
## Factors
* TM: total addressable market
* The size of the target audience
* eg: programming language usage estimations, or size of relevant user base of an integration, or MAU of end user product
* This is going to need some work, a lot of apples to oranges possible, might need variations? Maybe need somthing else too like "market cap" for verticals...
* Value
* <1m
* 1-10m
* 10 - 100m
* 100m - 500M
* 500M - ♾️
* DM: developer multiplier
* Developer adoption and retention - usage improvement, open new channel, develop key tool
* Example: Project is a tool which eases development, lowering barriers for a specific group of users to onboard.
* UM: end user multiplier
* Focus on end user adoption
* Example: Brave, Anytype, Skiff
* RU: current user base (L/M/H)
* Does the project have traction today in the given context
* Example:
* PU: projected users in 12 months (L/M/H)
* What is the expected number of users in one year
* Example:
* CG: closes gap identified by core teams
* Does the project close a long standing gap
* Example: IPFS Search with content moderation and application level indexing, or Iroh with embedding
* CS: clear switch opportunity multiplier
* An opportunity which, if achieved, displaces a competitor or web2 incumbent
* Example: An S3 compatible API layer for Saturn
* PR: project revenue multiplier
* Successful outcome is revenue generation for funded entity
* Example: IPFS Search's paid custom indexing service
* ER: ecosystem revenue multiplier
* Successful outcome creates revenue opportunity in ecosystem
* Example: A Station module which results in earnings for L2 nodes
* CA: capital attraction multiplier
* Successful outcome results in capital investment in funded entity or in ecosystem generally
* Example:
