	SUMP treats this as a single chain. An objective states a direction, such as bringing daily destinations within reach without a car. An indicator is the measurable quantity that reflects movement in that direction, such as the share of residents who can reach a grocery on foot. A target adds a value and a deadline to the indicator, turning '''"improve grocery access"''' into '''"raise it from today's level to a defined level by a defined year"'''. Each link in that chain has to hold. An objective with no indicator cannot be tracked, and an indicator with no target gives you a reading but no standard to read it against.

	The DREAMS impact-assessment framework, set out in [[Publications/6\|Deliverable 6.1]], ~~organises~~ this around six impact areas. They are the headings under which a 15-minute plan in the outskirts is most usefully measured.		The DREAMS impact-assessment framework, set out in [[Publications/6\|Deliverable 6.1]], first organised this around six impact areas, and the evaluation framework of the decision support tool in [[Publications/X\|Deliverable 3.3]] adds governance as a seventh. Each area answers one challenge typical of the outskirts with one strategic objective. They are the headings under which a 15-minute plan in the outskirts is most usefully measured.

			== Keep the full framework in view ==

			DREAMS built its indicators in two layers, and the split is worth copying. The first is a general framework of 34 indicators describing what a 15-minute plan in the outskirts should ideally track, chosen without regard to the data any one city holds. The second is the 19 indicators the project could actually measure across its living labs, kept because partners judged them relevant, sensitive to the interventions and measurable within a pilot ([[Publications/X\|Deliverable 3.3]]). Each living lab then added indicators of its own for the particular measures it tested.

			The working set covers the seven areas unevenly. Accessibility and equity are well served, because the accessibility model and the resident surveys reach them directly. Health has no shared indicator at all, not because it matters less but because a short local pilot cannot detect a change in physical activity or air quality. A plan that keeps only its working set quietly drops whatever it cannot measure this year. Keep the full framework beside it, so the areas you are not yet tracking stay visible and can be picked up once a longer monitoring period or better data allows.

			Read the results area by area rather than folding them into one composite score. The areas pull against each other. Accessibility gains can concentrate among residents who were already well served, and a more attractive neighbourhood can push up housing costs, so a single index would let a gain in one area hide a loss in another.

	The sequence is the same whether you use the DREAMS framework or your own. Start from your agreed objectives and, for each, decide which of the ~~six~~ impact areas it falls under. Choose at most a couple of indicators per objective that pass the sensitivity, relevance and measurability test, leaning on indicators you can already populate from your baseline. Attach a target to each, a direction, a level and a year, and where equity matters set that target against the group the gap hits hardest rather than the average. Record the data source, the method and the measurement frequency next to each indicator now, while the reasoning is fresh because these are precisely what [[Monitor adapt and communicate\|the monitoring step]] will pick up again.

	The vision and objectives ~~agreed in the previous step~~ say where the area wants to go. This step makes that ambition measurable.

	These six areas describe what a 15-minute plan is trying to change. They sit alongside the six features you used ~~in [[Determine_the_planning_framework\|Step 2]]~~ to read your outskirt, its density, diversity, design, governance, business models and human perspective. Those describe the place you start from, while the impact areas describe the difference you are setting out to make. Not all six will carry equal weight in your plan, and [[Publications/6\|Deliverable 6.1]] is honest that they were not equally represented across the living labs either, because each area only matters as much as the measures you are testing make it matter.

	The first is '''sensitivity'''. Will the indicator move if your plan succeeds? An indicator that barely responds to the measures you are planning tells you nothing about them. DREAMS found, for instance, that conventional walkability and cyclability indices reacted only weakly to the kind of new mobility services the labs were testing, so they were poor choices for judging those measures.

Does the indicator reflect what your residents actually need, and in particular the groups ~~your~~ [[~~Analyse_the_mobility_situation~~\|~~Step 3~~]] ~~diagnosis~~ singled out? An indicator that matters to a consultant but not to the people living there will not hold attention or drive decisions.		The second is '''relevance'''.

	The third is '''measurability'''. Can you collect or model the data behind it, at the spatial and temporal scale your evaluation works at, within the budget and timeframe you have?

	The sequence is the same whether you use the DREAMS framework or your own. Start from ~~the~~ objectives ~~agreed in Step 5~~ and, for each, decide which of the six impact areas it falls under. Choose at most a couple of indicators per objective that pass the sensitivity, relevance and measurability test, leaning on indicators you can already populate from your ~~Step 3~~ baseline. Attach a target to each, a direction, a level and a year, and where equity matters set that target against the group the gap hits hardest rather than the average. Record the data source, the method and the measurement frequency next to each indicator now, while the reasoning is fresh, because these are exactly what ~~you~~ will pick up again ~~in Step 11 when the plan is re-measured~~.
