Institution publication · Chapter 4, Gross margin and section 4.7.1

Per-hectare and variable-cost break-even outputs are algebraic rearrangements. Local costs, prices and interpretation still need confirmation.

Keep the same place, observation period, definitions, units and source versions.

Analysis inputs. Saleable output [kg]; Realized price [LKR/kg]; Variable costs [LKR]; Matching crop area [ha]

Other required evidence. Saleable crop kg; realized price LKR per kg; variable costs LKR; hectares.

Fictional worked example · 2025

Input or resultValueUnit
Saleable output3,800kg
Realized price112LKR/kg
Variable costs295,000LKR
Matching crop area1ha
Enterprise gross margin130,600LKR
Gross margin per hectare130,600LKR/ha
Variable-cost break-even price77.632LKR/kg

Keep fixed costs, family-labour opportunity cost, taxes and financing identifiable. Gross margin is not net profit.

Proposed checking role. Crop specialist, extension officer and agricultural statistician.

After the action. Realized gross margin and downside outcomes on the same basis.

  • FAO enterprise and activity budgeting — Institution publication. Section4 enterprise and activity budgeting. Published enterprise gross margin/revenue and variable-cost distinction.
  • SHARED domain decision contracts — Validation required. Domain decision rules and matching fictional examples. Local comparisons, constraints, source matching, sorting and follow-up proposals; developer checks do not establish scientific or client approval.

Assess yield change following documented weather events.

Verified published formula · Difference-in-differences arithmetic

Difference in changes — fictional 2025 examples

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

Next step. Supply study-design evidence. Continue, adapt, expand or stop a programme based on defensible outcome evidence.

Inputs, example and sources

World Bank · Impact Evaluation in Practice Second Edition
Institution publication · Chapter 7, table 7.2, printed page 140, PDF page 170

The formula is verified. Causal interpretation still requires a defensible study design, comparison and assumptions.

Keep the same place, observation period, definitions, units and source versions.

Analysis inputs. Treatment Crop productivity before [kg/ha]; Treatment Crop productivity after [kg/ha]; Comparison Crop productivity before [kg/ha]; Comparison Crop productivity after [kg/ha]; Study design and comparability evidence; Outcome definition, method and reference basis

Other required evidence. Field yields; exposure dates; baseline yields; comparable unexposed plots; management.

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

Proposed checking role. Crop specialist, extension officer and agricultural statistician.

After the action. Verified outcomes, costs, distributional effects and evidence strength.

  • World Bank Impact Evaluation in Practice Second Edition — Institution publication. Chapter7 difference-in-differences. Published difference-in-differences estimator and study assumptions; aggregate examples do not establish causation.

Verified completion share — fictional 2025 examples

Method. 100 × verified completed members / original unique cohort. Keep unknown follow-up separate; stages are nested, not independent populations.

Next step. Review evidence. Address stage bottlenecks, follow up dropouts, or revise service delivery.

Inputs, example and sources

Keep the same place, observation period, definitions, units and source versions.

Analysis inputs. Unique original cohort entrants [cases]; Entrants reviewed [cases]; Entrants with verified completion [cases]; Entrants with unknown follow-up [cases]

Other required evidence. Advisory cohort; delivery date; acknowledged receipt; verified practice uptake; follow-up date.

5. Documents and images

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

Department of Agriculture Documents and images prototype screen
Department of Agriculture. 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.

Department of Agriculture Data structure management prototype screen
Department of Agriculture. 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.

Department of Agriculture Users and access prototype screen
Department of Agriculture. 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.

What your institution needs to confirm

8. Can you share data regularly?

We currently use public data and published reports where available. Please confirm whether your institution can provide data directly, so we can avoid retyping or reading figures from PDFs.

Do not enter passwords, access keys or private account details.

9. Anything else we should change?

Use the Download answers button at the top of this page. Share the downloaded file or printed copy through your agreed review channel. Nothing is sent automatically.
