• Abstract: Efficient and effective service delivery in Public Administration (PA) relies on the development and utilization of key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluating and measuring performance. This paper presents an innovative framework for KPI construction within performance evaluation systems, leveraging Random Forest algorithms and variable importance analysis. The proposed approach identifies key variables that significantly influence PA performance, offering valuable insights into the critical factors driving organizational success. By integrating variable importance analysis with expert consultation, relevant KPIs can be systematically developed, ensuring that improvement strategies address performance-critical areas. The framework incorporates continuous monitoring mechanisms and adaptive phases to refine KPIs in response to evolving administrative needs. This study aims to enhance PA performance through the application of machine learning techniques, fostering a more agile and results-driven approach to public administration.

  Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) automate governance and resource allocation through smart contracts, aiming to shift decision-making to distributed token holders. This paper addresses these issues by identifying research gaps in financial evaluation and introducing a framework of Key Performance Indicators. We apply the framework to a custom-built dataset of real-worlds constructed from on-chain data and analysed using non-parametric methods. The results reveal recurring governance patterns, including low participation rates and high proposer concentration, which may undermine long-term viability.
