DORA’s guidance on responsible use of quantitative indicators prompts users to follow 5 principles, like:
💡Be specific: How well does the indicator refer to the qualities of the person or the piece of work being assessed? Be mindful of aggregate metrics.

We made a little improvement to our map 🗺 of DORA signatories on sfdora.org/signers/.
Here's why. 🧵 1/4

We wanted a map that would give the viewer a better idea 🤔 of where there was more DORA activity.
We scaled it to population so that larger, more populous countries wouldn't dominate the map.
Not as brightly colored but much more informative. 3/4
