Root/Additional Metric (RoAM) framework: a guide for goal-centred metric construction
Luke E. B. Goodyear, Daniel Pincheira-Donoso

TL;DR
The paper introduces the Root/Additional Metric (RoAM) framework, a flexible, goal-centered method for constructing custom metrics across diverse disciplines using decision analysis and utility theory.
Contribution
It presents a novel workflow for creating customizable performance metrics by dividing criteria into root and additional groups, integrating utility functions for goal achievement evaluation.
Findings
Framework applicable across multiple disciplines
Enables quantitative evaluation of goal achievement
Supports statistical analysis and decision-making
Abstract
The use of metrics underpins the quantification, communication and, ultimately, the functioning of a wide range of disciplines as diverse as labour recruitment, institutional management, economics and science. For application of metrics, customised scores are widely employed to optimise progress monitoring towards a goal, to contribute to decision-making, and to quantify situations under evaluation. However, the development of such metrics in complex and rigorous settings intrinsically relies on mathematical processes which are not always readily accessible. Here, we propose a framework for construction of metrics suitable for a wide range of disciplines, following a specified workflow that combines existing decision analysis and utility theory concepts to create a customisable performance metric (with corresponding uncertainty) that can be used to quantitatively evaluate goal…
