Those of you who follow me may have noticed that I have plenty of aspects in evaluation I want to further explore and understand in more depth. And of course, once I do it I put together a visual to summarize the learning.
In the 150+ evaluation reports I have meta-evaluated I have seen very few examples of good-quality answers to the questions about the Efficiency of the program.

So I am particularly happy of finally having found the time to go through the Efficiency DAC criterium, partnering again with Julian King (expert in VFM and related concepts).
So we came up with this cheatsheet to break down Efficiency and clearly present its different levels and layers:
