- Level of innovation – this may include use of technology and adaptations to infrastructure to overcome challenges
- Strength of impact and outcomes – this may include addressing systemic issues to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and access to international education
- Scalability – consideration if the model is transferable or scalable for others to use and adapt
