narrative: SAVVI PURPOSE
Version: V1 from Concept Model 1.0.0
Created: 25 March 2026
In the Purpose phase
- a LEAD-ORGANISATION will establish that it has a PURPOSE that gives it a remit to act on one or more VULNERABILITYs.
- where the PURPOSE gives the basis for data sharing and data reuse throughout the initiative.
- some METRICS may be used as statistics to demonstrate that each type of VULNERABILITY is an imperative, and which could subsequently be used to track the impact of the whole initiative.
- will set out types of unmet NEEDs, which, if addressed by smart interventions, could lead to improved OUTCOMEs.
