Best Practices for Interpreting Key Metrics

Metrics may include the number of evaluations conducted, datasets published, learning agendas implemented, and AI initiatives underway. To make the most of these metrics, users should consider context, trends, and comparisons across agencies. Visual indicators, such as KPI cards and charts, are paired with brief explanations to ensure data is easy to interpret. By understanding the meaning behind the numbers, users can draw actionable insights, benchmark performance, and use evidence to guide program improvements and policy decisions.
