As a UNICEF Fund portfolio manager, I want to quickly identify past Fund companies as DPGs so that get quick metrics to support past and current Fund companies.

Summary

This is a step closer to making the Team Profiles feature stick out as a useful resource for the team. It also helps fill a need for easy-to-update metrics and data about which of our Venture Fund companies are Digital Public Goods (DPGs), nominated as DPGs, or neither.

There are two parts to this task:

• Beginner task
• Challenging task

Beginner task

A specific Team Profile should give extra affordance and more signifiers to DPG recognition, if a profile represents the company behind a Digital Public Good.

• Problem: It is hard to quickly infer how many and which of the Venture Fund companies with team profiles are Digital Public Goods.
• The ask: Count whether a Team Profile meets all of the DPG indicators, and if it does, add a badge or another signifier. There should also be clear language in the template, like $project_name by $company_name is recognized as a Digital Public Good!
• Possible solutions: See /layouts/partials/cohorts.html. A badge, ribbon, or other image could go near the top of the page. Using colors to highlight a section of the page with DPG achievement details. Whatever is done, this is a high priority information to show to the user and give more affordance to than other parts of the Team Profiles interface.

Challenging task

Improve the two templates for all cohorts and a specific cohort to count how many Team Profiles represent companies with Digital Public Goods, both in all cohorts or a specific cohort.

• Problem: It is hard to get up-to-date information about how many Venture Fund companies are the teams behind recogized Digital Public Goods. This is data we can use in our advocacy and awareness work as an early step in understanding our impact to the open source ecosystem.
• The ask: We need a clever way of creating a list of every page in a sub-category that meets all of the DPG indicators, and then for each team in the list, doing a boolean comparison on whether the Team Profile is passing or not. Each Team Profile meeting all the indicators is counted. The final number, after counting all Team Profiles in a sub-category, is displayed at the top of the template.
• Possible solutions: See layouts/partials/types.html. May need to use a .Scratch scratchpad to handle counting in a loop.
