Potential intervention scoring criteria

Criterion	Criterion description	Criterion weighting (⁠ $w)$	Metric description	Metric unit	Direction of metric
Baseline intervention cost	Total cost per potential intervention, calculated using a fixed rate per participant	2	Currency value from vendor quotes/internal cost analysis	Currency value	Lower cost = better cost efficiency
Baseline intervention gain	Rating of employee skills gain post-intervention	2	Assigned rating using a 5-point scale to indicate the expected gain in employee digital proficiency	5-point scale, with 5 representing the highest proficiency	Higher rating = better gain
Baseline intervention duration	Anticipated duration (in weeks) for employees to achieve expected digital skills post-intervention	1	Calendar weeks required for employees to achieve expected digital skills	Weeks	Shorter duration = more time and cost efficient
