Common use of External Evaluation Clause in Contracts

External Evaluation. All applications in the Filtered List of Applicants will be assessed and scored by three INDEPENDENT EXPERTS (from the Experts Panel created by the <IMPACT> Connected Car consortium for each vertical/challenge), on the following criteria: ● Team. ● Business Opportunity. ● Strategic Fit. Additionally, Transversal Criteria, will be taken into account in the final decision to rank finalist proposals, in case of score tying (see description below). A detailed description of the three main evaluation criteria is offered below: ideas and their understanding of the market dynamics they are trying to tap into. The team should be balanced, cross functional, be fully dedicated to the project and with a strong background and skills. ● Market attractiveness: applicants have to demonstrate the level of users, sales and profitability they expect to generate. This can be demonstrated using measurable indicators such as - engaged users, revenues, profits, expected evolution of the services or product. ● Differentiation: applicants have to provide information about the degree of competition for their particular product/service and if the idea is disruptive and breaks the market. i.e. the products/services to be brought to market can be clearly differentiated from the competition. ● Environmental threats: applicants have to assess the external aspects that may have impact in their project idea and how they expect to face it. Additionally, TRANSVERSAL CRITERIA such as ‘Environment and low carbon economy contribution’ (e.g. reduction of greenhouse emissions), ‘Equal Opportunities’ (e.g. gender balance) and ‘Social Impact’ (e.g. job creation) will be taken into account in the final decision. The top-ranked proposals will be included in the “List of Pre-Selected Applicants” and passed to the individual external evaluation to be ranked for the next phase. Ties will be solved using the following criteria, in order: ● Business Opportunity score. ● Team score. ● Strategic Fit Score. ● Contribution to transversal criteria. ● Date of submission: earlier submitted proposals go first. Within this list of Pre-Selected Applicants, each evaluator will rank the application assigning a score from 0 to 7 for each criterion and produce an Individual Evaluation Report. The final score will be calculated as an average of the individual assessments provided by the Evaluators.
