The WP3 Benchmarking data model is detailed in the following schematic. Observational (postconstruction) data are received through secure Globus file transfer, normalized and archived in a canonical form for analysis. Prediction (preconstruction) estimates are received from partners through our preconstruction API or template form. Pre and post-construction metrics are compared programatically using a standardized library and uniform software stack using reproducible research practics.
