| 1. Crop Yield Improvement | ≥15% increase over control | Go: Proceed to scale-up; performance meets expectations |
| 10–15% increase | Conditional: Refine formulation/application, extend pilot |
| <10% increase | No-Go: Reassess fertilizer formulation or application method |
| 2. Product Quality (Resin / Essential Oil) | High-grade quality, ≥ expected chemical profile | Go: Proceed to scale-up |
| Slight improvement, minor deviations | Conditional: Monitor longer, adjust microbial blend |
| No improvement | No-Go: Reformulate, retest |
| 3. Soil Health & Sustainability Metrics | Improved microbial activity, organic matter, soil pH stabilized | Go: Supports ESG impact & farm sustainability |
| Minor improvements | Conditional: Adjust compost / biochar ratio |
| No improvement or soil degradation | No-Go: Review inputs, halt scale-up |
| 4. Pilot Cost per Hectare | ≤ 60,000 PHP | Go: Economically viable |
| 60,000–70,000 PHP | Conditional: Evaluate efficiency improvements |
| >70,000 PHP | No-Go: Reassess production, sourcing, and labor efficiency |
| 5. Projected ROI | ≥25% | Go: Meets investor return expectations |
| 15–25% | Conditional: Consider niche high-value crop focus or yield optimization |
| <15% | No-Go: Adjust cost structure or crop targeting |
