Methodology

NEB RADAR implements the official EU JRC139118 Self-Assessment Method — no proprietary grading on top.

The three NEB pillars

Every project is scored on the official 0–10 scale across the three values of the New European Bauhaus: Sustainable (climate, ecology, circularity), Beautiful (aesthetic quality, experience, identity), and Together (inclusion, participation, co-creation).

Each pillar score is the mean of its KPIs. NEB RADAR does not compute a single aggregate grade — the official JRC139118 output is the three pillar scores and their corresponding NEB Ambition Levels.

NEB Ambition Levels (per pillar)

Per JRC139118, each pillar score maps to one of three official Ambition Levels:

Level III
≥ 8.0
Transformative
Level II
6.0 – 7.9
Intermediate
Level I
4.0 – 5.9
Basic
< 4.0
Below Level I

Verification ladder

JRC139118 defines what to measure — not who has signed off on the data. NEB RADAR adds a separate evidence-trust label so users can tell self-reported entries from independently reviewed ones. This is about data provenance, not grading.

Provisional

Indicative JRC139118 scores derived from our seed data and AI-assisted assessment. Useful as a starting point — not audited. Most projects start here.

Project-confirmed (self-verified)

The project lead has claimed the profile and is responsible for adding source citations (reports, KPIs, news articles) backing each pillar score.

Independently reviewed

A reviewer from the NEB RADAR Advisory Board has examined the evidence against JRC139118 and signed off on the scores.

The 21 KPIs (JRC139118)

Each pillar is broken down into KPIs — 9 for Sustainability (S.1–S.9), 6 for Beauty (B.1–B.6), 6 for Together (T.1–T.6). Anyone can re-derive a pillar score by scoring each KPI 0–10 and averaging within the pillar.
