Report collection of data and observations from validation sites and business simulation activities (e-publication)

This report presents the approach adopted within WP7.1 for collecting and structuring data and observations derived from NOUS validation sites and business simulation activities. The work is aligned with the objective of establishing a quantification framework for the data economy, supporting the assessment of data value across different application domains. Within the NOUS project, validation activities generate heterogeneous evidence, including technical performance data, operational feedback, and user-related insights. In parallel, business simulations provide an additional layer of analysis, enabling the exploration of economic sustainability and scalability under controlled conditions. The challenge addressed in this task is therefore not only to collect such information, but to transform it into structured knowledge supporting decision-making and business model development.
