Valuing FTTN FTTP - Aster plot - multidimensional and weighted

16 May 2016

Creating a visualisation of FTTN vs FTTP, using an Aster Plot.
Strengths: An Aster plot is multi-dimensional like a radar plot, but can assign a weighting to dimensions.
Weakness: An Aster plot can only show one Value target at a time. Perhaps I can overlay with photoshop…
Update: below I placed two Aster plots side by side, using iframes inside an html table…

Data: (Author’s rating of FTTN FTTP value dimensions)

To amend the data, and play with the Aster Chart, you need the following files:

Discussed at: http://bit.ly/1RiaCpo; Rating of value dimensions in Table 1.
Aster diagram; multidimensional, dimensions vary in weight; scores 0 (Max.) - 100 (Min.)
Following a reviewer’s comment^^, the scale is now revised to: scores 0 (Min) - 100 (Max). Items starred(^^) below now reversed.

• Closer to centre indicates less^^ value.
• Higher^^ score (in bullseye) indicates more value.

Key: Dimensions (weight): CAPEX (25)[Red] Future CAPEX (10) Time to rollout (25) Life of Asset (25) OPEX / Revenue (20) Current need (10) Future need (25) Reliability (30) Equity (10) Simplicity (5) Beauty (5) Unknown Unknowns(25)[Blue]	NB: closer to the bullseye is lower^^ value Data: weightings and ratings are author's assessment. Bullseye rating is summary overall; the higher^^ the better.
