The WUKID Continuum The primary objective of an analysis is to move along the WUKID continuum. A solid foundation of data, leads to accurate information, leading to relevant knowledge, offering insightful understanding that allows for wise decision making. W = Wisdom (e.g. solid decision making on resource allocation) U = Understanding (e.g. why are some projects more efficient?) K = Knowledge (e.g. efficiency of OHCD projects at achieving goals/use of funds) I = Information (e.g. # of jobs created by City funded projects) D = Data (e.g. list of all city owned property or historic investments made)
