| Short Term Success Metrics: | Methods to measure metrics |
| # of Schools w/ app integrated | N/A |
| # of students that have downloaded the app | -Usage data |
| # of students actively using the app every month | -Usage data
-# of students who have completed each cycle of levels |
| Participation of small businesses | # of available incentives |
| Long Term Success Metrics: | |
| Liters of material available for recycling | -General estimate based on consumption of goods in Almaty. This will be done through analysis of behavior and based on current recycle rates. |

-Categorized system |
| Percentage of people recycling | -Collect data from app based on pictures of recycled material. Number of people that are new to recycling and are now recycling. |
| Growth/Proficiency in education on sustainability | -Have a pre-test to measure knowledge on importance of sustainable and compare with later tests in the app
-# of quizzes completed -Scores on quizzes |
| Household water consumption | -Collect data (through government?) on how much water was being consumed on average before and after our app implementation in households with those students |
| Household energy consumption | -Collect data (through government?) on how much energy was being consumed on average before and after our app implementation in households with those students |
| Increase in biking | -Collect app data based on people riding bikes as sustainable actions
