TRIPLE Deliverable: D7.3 Business Model Design and Evaluation Results

Within the present report, we outline the process and progress in terms of Business Model (BM) design and Business Model evaluation. The report provides an overview of the TRIPLE Business Model development approach and a brief description of the current status of the GoTriple Platform.
Besides a summary of our Horizon Results Booster activities, we present the entire Business Model (BM) design journey, which includes a review of the used business analysis methods and insights into the crucial factors for developing a successful BM. In the field of BM “Desirability”, we illustrate our activities to match the customer requirements with the offered services of GoTriple by using the Value Proposition Canvas. In terms of BM “Viability”, we focus our activities on identifying possible revenue possibilities for GoTriple, resulting in concepts for donation and membership solutions. In the BM “Feasibility” area, we outline the TRIPLE Governance Model (GoTriple Committee), which should act as an organisational body to ensure economic sustainability for GoTriple after the project ends.
Concerning BM testing, we demonstrate the development and mapping of assumptions and the subsequent transformation into test procedures (test cards), including the definition of test methods, metrics and criteria. Hereafter we provide the outcome of a Risk Assessment of the GoTriple Platform divided into four risk factors (Partnership-, Technological-, Market-, and IPR/Legal Risk Factors).
Finally, we present the updated GoTriple Business Models divided into the two most important customer groups  (Researchers, Institutions) in a short description and presented utilising the Lean Canvas.
