The OpenSTEFF collaboration funnel:

Funnel	Description	Leads
Idea	This stage is for organizations for who OpenSTEF could be of interest, but there are themselve not yet aware with the power grid model.	LFE Gridlab-D Enedis (? not concrete yet) Stanford (Neural prophet)
Awareness	This is the first stage and is called the “awareness” stage because it’s where people first become aware of the OpenSTEF.	Swiss-sdi Eneco Ellevio
Interest	Once a prospect has learned about OpenSTEF, they will evaluate it based on the level of interest and what it could bring.	VandeBron TenneT EIGEN Stedin Enexis
Decision	Now that the prospect knows about OpenSTEF and the solutions it provides for the prospect’s pain points and they decided to going to use it or contribute to it.
Action	The most important stage of the funnel — they are using or contributing to OpenSTEF	Alliander RTE RTE international Shell LFE SOGNO Firan Sigholm
No interest	They have no interest in OpenSTEF at this moment.
