Methodology
We developed a survey to collect participants' feedback, and we shared it with the team building and delivering content for the DeepFunding Academy project, as well as the Governance Guild and meshjs.dev teams.

On January 23rd, we delivered our 3rd and final Andamio Showcase, during which our co-founder Nelson provided a complete walkthrough on deploying an Andamio instance as well as a number of interviews with organizations looking to use Andamio to help us understand the usefulness of the platform from their perspective.
We also conducted a series of interviews with organizations using Andamio to deliver on their initiatives to better understand how Andamio helps fulfill their needs. From these interviews, we extracted insights regarding the use of Andamio, satisfaction with our solution, desired features and integrations, and testimonials regarding users' experiences with our platform.
As mentioned in the Organizational Satisfaction Survey report, we decided to employ this methodology in lieu of surveys due to the low response and engagement rates of the latter versus the former, even if the data collected is less structured in a way.
Quantitative analysis
-
User satisfaction scores
Obtaining feedback from users interacting with Andamio has been challenging so far. This is mainly due to limited interaction and low response rates to the survey. Despite this, satisfaction scores are largely in line with the goals set for this project, with approximately 80% of users reporting satisfaction.

Engagement metrics
As mentioned earlier, we have faced some limitations in interacting with the platform. These limitations are mainly due to external dependencies that are beyond our control, as well as complexities encountered during the content creation process. However, we are pleased to announce that Mesh PBL has started delivering its course content, and a small group of learners is now regularly engaging with the platform. In addition, PBL content for Mesh will be created by community contributors and rewarded through Mesh’s Andamio Contribution Management system.

User comments and feedback
SWARM
One of the organizations that is hoping to use Andamio is SWARM. SWARM is a DAO that has been active in the Cardano ecosystem for years now and has developed a Treasury management system for decentralized organizations. They plan to teach others how to use their tool through a PBL built on an Andamio instance. You can watch the video interview here.
- Effective treasury management in decentralized initiatives requires a blend of tools that allow the sharing of experiences and insights, not just quantitative data.
- The onboarding process employed by SWARM involves the use of communication and project management tools to engage and provide accountability, and automation to analyze the data generated from the work of contributors. The ability to integrate those tools into one platform would be ideal.
- One request from Tevo was that we allow flexibility in integrating their metadata schema. This would allow them to integrate into our systems without expending additional effort.
GameChanger
Adriano is the Lead Developer and founder of GameChanger wallet, Maarten has extensive experience developing Point-of-Sales systems and is building them with GameChanger. They are planning on using an Andamio instance to deliver a PBL course on how to use GameChanger and the Helios programming language to build dApps with the same simplicity as it takes to build simple HTML & vanilla Javascript web applications. Here is how they refer to Andamio in their Fund 11 proposal:
Andamio is a brand-new education platform launched by the Gimbalabs team. And I would really like to support this effort with my own knowledge of Gamechanger. I think the Andamio project can have the power to reach a lot of people and drive education on blockchain technology.

SustainableADA
Cole Bartlett, one of the co-founders of SustainableADA and Impact Web3, on how they will use Andamio to improve the traceability and verifiability of credentials awarded to impact investment auditors that they plan to train to implement as part of their initiative to expand the reach of blockchain technology within the industry of impact investment.
…the best part about the Andamio platform is that we'll be able to provide an educational course on how to evaluate these projects and how to actually track and trace their impact. So through that and through the skills that members will be learning, they’ll be able to get jobs and be incentivized like third-party auditors. This will bring a new standard to impact measurement because we'll be able to see what data is real and what is not and provide our stakeholders with more verifiable data.

Socious
Seira Yun, founder of Socious, a talent marketplace connecting impact organizations with purpose-driven talent, discusses the decision to use Andamio to address the unmet demand for impact auditors.
…That's why we decided to collaborate with Andamio: to train future impact accountants who can help companies satisfy the requirements mandated by the EU.

- Key findings summarizing most significant insights.
- Content editing & publishing features are essential, and we are currently developing user-friendly interfaces that will make the process of creating content much easier.
- Customizability is the second most requested feature. We hope to engage the open-source community in order to create different ‘skins’ that would be easily installable in any Andamio interface. These contributions would ideally be rewarded through an Andamio treasury.
- User management & permissions - while this feature is already available through Role-Based Access Tokens, further documentation & onboarding are necessary in order to make them easier to use.
- SEO, analytics & reporting tools - Finally, these tools are important for visibility and outreach but also to enable direct integration to ecosystem processes like Catalyst, where contributors with verified credentials (i.e., reviewers, proposers, etc.) can participate, receive on-chain recognition of their work and rewards.
