I feel the "orbic" (spider webs) representation of rubrics offers very interesting potential for aggregation of data and for its representation and analysis when working in complex programmes with different layers/levels of engagement (such as consortium, country, location, or portfolio, programme, project) that last several years.
The general categories of the rubric, for example, could be described with distinct criteria for each of the levels (to make them fit better the work done at each of the levels). In fact, categories could even be disaggregated in sub-categories, which are then used selectively for each of the level, depending on how relevant they are. These sub-categories could evolve as a programme advances, with some being discarded and others added to match what is relevant for the programme at a given moment. Even if they evolve, they would contribute to assess the general (more stable) categories.
If data is collected regularly at the different levels of operation, very interesting aggregation of the data could then be done, which a spider web diagram could represent in a very intuitive way, as coloured lines around the center. This would allow comparing the results for the different layers, different locations, the evolution through the years, etc., in a very intuitive way that normal human beings would be able to interpret, or use as a starting point for deliberations.
I haven't found a tool that allows to do such data collection, aggregation, and representation easily -for sure not Excel-... but the potential is clearly there!

If anybody has any suggestion... please share.
Cephalopodic could be a thing. I initially thought of an Octopus based one (Te Wheke - Rose Pere)
Excellent thought! Sharing a link for those who are interested: https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/populations/maori-health/maori-health-models/maori-health-models-te-wheke
