The effectiveness of the Decision Support and Optimisation Engine should be evaluated through measurable engineering outcomes rather than algorithmic complexity.
Examples of meaningful performance indicators include:
- increased water availability within the active root zone
- reduced irrigation demand
- lower deep percolation losses
- improved irrigation efficiency
- healthier root-zone conditions
- greater consistency between predicted and observed behaviour
- improved long-term agricultural sustainability
The success of Radixora should therefore be measured by the quality of the engineering decisions it enables and by the tangible improvements observed in real installations.
A sophisticated analytical model has little value unless it produces measurable benefits in the field.
