Meeting Five | Weightings and Quantifiability

For updated GTI Rubric (testing model) since this article, see The GTI Rubric.

In the previous (four) meetings, the following initial test structure was created.

GTI FACTOR GRID (PROTOTYPE)

What is the Good Technology Index (GTI)?

It is an attempt to quantify technological benefit. Assisting in answering how our pathway to knowledge supports humanity, and how we should conduct ourselves and govern ourselves.
