SAT Methodology
Proposed methodology/decision making process for SAT

methodology follows typical Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle of continuous improvement as recommended
by systems like Quality/Environmental Management Systems (ISO 9000/14000).
Figure 1: The Proposed SAT Methodology
A brief explanation about the various steps follows.
1. Conduct situation analysis
The purpose of technological intervention is to address some problem, such as solid waste
management in a city or establishing a centralized wastewater treatment plant in an industrial cluster.
Once the problem is defined, it is essential to undertake a situation analysis. The situation analyses
will include baseline data collection, stakeholder consultation, mapping and analyses as necessary. A
situation analysis helps to identify issues as well as assess their significance. It also brings forth
experience on what has worked and what has not. Scenario building is also possible with the help of
situation analyses. Finally, situation analyses leads to setting of targets that should be addressed by
the proposed technology intervention.
2. Strategic level assessment
