WWF EEAT
Enabling Environmental Assessment Tool
Project background
The purpose of WWF’s Enabling Environmental Assessment Tool (or EEAT as it was known) site is twofold - to provide a data capture system for teams operating in the field and to provide “head office” staff with the ability to carry out comparisons and generate custom visualisations. These visualisations could be used to show both an “at a glance” analysis of the sustainability data for a given project/time period and changes in the data over time, hence highlighting improvements or regressions.
The system also provides the capability to aggregate and compare different groups of data to show, for example, how different regions compare.
My responsibilities
I was heavily involved in the initial client discussions, specification and estimation of this project.
Whilst I was working on another project during the initial phase of development, once onboard I created the data transform layer, which processed the raw data into three key visualisations - Enabling Environment, Value Chain Segment and Good Governance. The data transformation layer also provided the capability to collate and average data sets, hence enabling the various visualisations that formed the core of the system's output.
Sadly, as EEAT is an internal WWF tool it isn’t publicly available. However, there’s a great project write up showing the system in use over on the Createful website.
