Assessment

criteria

I n order to decide which of the implementation options introduced above may be most appropriate for a market, an assessment of

how each option maps onto the key drivers and barriers for a2a interoperability may be undertaken. this provides a framework for
assessing the relative suitability of each implementation option for the specific conditions of a market.

it is worth noting that all of the options in section 3 above can be used to provide a2a interoperability given enough time and money.
this assessment aims to provide a simple tool that can be used to screen and select a small number of the most appropriate options
(relative to the other options), which may then be considered in more detail to fully understand their requirements and implications.

The assessment framework uses the following criteria against which an implementation option is scored:
a. risk impact;
B. implementation complexity;

c. transaction cost impact;
D. regulatory Framework;

e. agreement Framework;
F. scalability;
G. user experience;
H. time to market.
