17. Compare export routes and delivery feasibilityDEC-DP26-017 · Logistics constraints
Try this decision

Compare supplied export journeys and delivery constraints.

Validation required

Fictional default example · 2025.

Fictional case / areaSupplied journey duration [minutes]Capacity minus demand [t payload]Next check

Rattota — logistics constraints / 2025300-2Obtain the missing evidence listed below

What the selected record shows. The supplied journey is 230 km and 360 minutes. Usable capacity is 12 against 10 required in the stated service units. Access and operating conditions: Unresolved.

Next step. Obtain the missing evidence listed below. Prepare evidence request in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.

Information still needed
  • Access, closures and operating conditions: Unresolved

The example calculates no route or guaranteed delivery time.

Inputs, method and sources

Supplied journey distance from a documented route survey230km
Supplied journey duration; not calculated here360minutes
Usable vehicle/team capacity12t payload
Required capacity10t payload
Access, closures and operating conditionsUnresolved
Operating and service windowSample operating window

Compare supplied route times/distances, usable capacity and documented access/window constraints. Display feasible candidates; no route optimization is implied.

Straight-line distance is not a road route. Example routes establish no current road status, emergency clearance or safe evacuation instruction. These are fictional supplied inland feeder journeys to a shipment interface, not complete international routes or verified current road conditions. This decision view compares supplied journeys. It does not calculate a route or run a coordinate-based analysis.

Other required records: Shipment; origin; destination; transport options; costs; transit times; restrictions.

18. Reconcile export-support commitments and verified deliveryDEC-DP26-018 · Support funding
Try this decision

Reconcile export-support needs, commitments, receipts and expenditure.

Validation required

Fictional default example · 2025.

Fictional case / areaUnfunded need [LKR]Committed but not disbursed [LKR]Disbursed but not spent [LKR]Next check
Laggala Pallegama — support funding / 2025850,0001,010,000440,000Review unfunded need
Rattota — support funding / 2025850,0001,010,000440,000Review unfunded need
Panvila — support funding / 2025850,0001,010,000440,000Review unfunded need

What the selected record shows. Unfunded need: 850,000 LKR. Review unfunded need.

Next step. Review unfunded need. Prepare funding review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.

A financing record does not establish verified service delivery by itself.

Inputs, method and sources
Supplied inputValueUnit
Approved financing need3,500,000LKR
Confirmed commitments2,650,000LKR
Funds actually disbursed1,640,000LKR
Verified eligible expenditure1,200,000LKR

Unfunded = need − commitments. Undisbursed = commitments − disbursements. Unspent = disbursements − eligible spending.

Keep commitments, cash receipts, expenditure and verified physical outputs separate. Negative balances flag overcommitment or reconciliation; no automatic accounting adjustment.

Other required records: Programme budget; awards; commitments; disbursements; eligible costs; outputs.

20. Assess outcomes of export-development interventionsDEC-DP26-020 · Export policy impact
Try this decision

Compare enterprise outcomes in the supplied treatment and comparison periods.

Verified published formula · Difference-in-differences arithmetic

Fictional default example · 2025.

Fictional case / areaDifference in changes [LKR]Next check

Rattota — export policy impact / 2025100,000Obtain the missing evidence listed below

What the selected record shows. Treatment change: 170,000; comparison change: 70,000; difference in changes: 100,000 LKR. This comparison alone does not establish causation or benefit.

Next step. Obtain the missing evidence listed below. Prepare evidence request in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.

Information still needed
  • Study design and evidence that the treatment and comparison records are comparable

A difference in changes does not establish an export-support effect.

Inputs, method and sources
Supplied inputValueUnit
Treatment Comparable export value before420,000LKR
Treatment Comparable export value after590,000LKR
Comparison Comparable export value before390,000LKR
Comparison Comparable export value after460,000LKR
Study design and comparability evidenceMissing
Outcome definition, method and reference basisComparable export value /example matching definition1

(Treatment after−before) − (comparison after−before), using the same outcome definition and periods.

The arithmetic alone does not establish causation. Design, parallel trends, confounding, attrition, uncertainty and adverse effects need appropriate evidence.

Other required records: Policy exposure; baseline exports; follow-up; comparison firms; market shocks.

5. Documents and images

Your institution has its own document and image library. Use the same library for reports, photos and other evidence.

Export Development Board Documents and images prototype screen
Export Development Board. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

  1. Open Documents and images. Check the institution name.
  2. Use All files, Documents or Images to find a file. Open its preview or download the original.
  3. Use a sample file to try Add file. Private is the starting choice. Public needs a source, permission to share and review.
  4. Use Access preview to try the institution reviewer and Public visitor views.

Files added in the prototype stay in this browser. Public sharing is an access preview. Existing public reference links already work online.

What your institution needs to confirm

6. Data structure management

Data structure keeps the existing source tree, records, charts and map. Manage structure adds a place to propose changes to definitions.

Export Development Board Data structure management prototype screen
Export Development Board. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

  1. Open Data structure and choose Manage structure.
  2. Use Add base domain for a main information area. Add inside creates a subject area, a nested subject, an entity type or a field under the right parent.
  3. Give the definition a clear name, code and meaning. Reuse an existing definition when the meaning is the same.
  4. For a field, check the data type, unit, required value, limits and missing-value rule. Save a Draft, then try the separate reviewer view.

An entity type means a kind of thing or event, such as a reservoir or an inspection. Drafts stay in this browser. A demo approval does not change real definitions, data, chart links or sharing rights.

7. Users and access

User management shows example profiles for each institution. People and Roles and access let you review the proposed account screens.

Export Development Board Users and access prototype screen
Export Development Board. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

  1. Open User management and choose the institution. The rows are examples, not a list of your staff.
  2. Use View access to check a role. An administrator title alone does not give access to Private files.
  3. Try Preview invitation or Preview access change. Check the role, start date, optional end date and reason.
  4. Review the example permissions and tell us which job roles should receive each one.

These are interface previews only. They create no account, send no email and change no access. Use example details in the preview. Institution verification does not grant a real permission.
