Unit cost measurements and use of data Sample Clauses

Unit cost measurements and use of data. Any additional unit costs that the research identifies will be based on analysis of indicator/s, e.g. sparsity, DEFRA rurality – or a new indicator that the contractors create. In order to ensure unit costs and indicators that the research provides are useable, we must be able to use the same indicator/s that they were calculated from. For consistency, the data team has certain requirements for data used in the settlement and these must also be considered by contractors when using new data or developing new cost measurement units. Requirements for considering new data: • Are the data plausible in context in which they are used? • Is it consistently available for all authorities? • Can it be influenced by local policy discretion or open to manipulation? • Can it be easily defined and made available to authorities (and public)? • How extensively has it been validated by the provider? • Has some rudimentary validation been carried out (e.g. comparing data with last year’s results) • Is the data volatile? • Does it provide any perverse incentives? • Are there regional variations that are misleading?
