Project contributors and community members with an update to report on a project or line of work.

Project Measurement

Report a project update through the short Measurement form so it can be shared in Institute communications.

Project Measurement is how the Active Inference Institute tracks the health and progress of its projects — and the short Measurement form is how you contribute an update. Anyone can submit a measurement about a project or a Domain of Application for Active Inference; submitting one is the way to have your update included in Institute communications and to keep your project visible and active.

What the Measurement form is

The Measurement form is a short, always-open report on a project or line of work: what you set out to do and what you have reached or accomplished. It is the "Measure" half of the Institute's Prepare-and-Measure system — Preparation describes what someone is setting out to do, and Measurement reports back when goals are reached. A measurement can be submitted by anyone, about any project or Domain of Application for Active Inference.

Why submit a measurement

Submitting a measurement is how your update enters the Institute's public record and communications: measurements are gathered to gauge ongoing work and are included in Institute communications such as the newsletter. A measurement also helps keep your project visible and in an active state, and gives the community insight into the progress being made across projects and domains.

Measurement and the project lifecycle

Measurement is one stage of a shared project lifecycle — preparation, active work, measurement, and reporting. Reviewing projects against this lifecycle keeps assessment consistent across very different kinds of work, and the always-open form means an update can be contributed at any time rather than only at fixed checkpoints.
