Do you find it successful in getting a larger gift? What factors and asset types do you use to estimate a prospects wealth or major giving capacity? Do you have a formula that works for all of your prospects, or does it vary from prospect to prospect?</p><p>Feel free to post feedback here, or contact me at <a href="mailto:john.o'connell@blackbaud.com">john.o'connell@blackbaud.com</a> and we can set up a time to talk.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://bbdesign.squarespace.com/rp-designs/rss-comments-entry-1747010.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>What use does your organization have for mapping?</title><dc:creator>John O'Connell</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2007 17:14:45 +0000</pubDate><link>http://bbdesign.squarespace.com/rp-designs/2007/12/5/what-use-does-your-organization-have-for-mapping.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">130903:1183403:1411697</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Do people with your organization currently use any mapping tools for locating consitutents, planning trips or any other purposes?

The following screen shots capture what we are proposing to do. The first is the general relationships tab which captures all known&nbsp;individual and organizational relationships.&nbsp;I think of these as first degree relationships in the six degrees of separation concept. These are relationships that someone in the system has added.&nbsp;The second screen shot is the relationship tree which somewhat captures the six degrees of separation idea. All constituents in the relationship tree are constituents in the database. The final screen shot represents extended relationships found by PeopleLink. These people may or may not be constituents in the system.</p><p><a href="http://bbdesign.squarespace.com/storage/Prospect_Relationships2.png">Known Individual and Organizational Relationships</a></p><p><a href="http://bbdesign.squarespace.com/storage/Prospect_ExtendedRelationships.png">Relationship Tree</a></p><p><a href="http://bbdesign.squarespace.com/storage/Prospect_ExtendedRelationships_PeopleLink_9.PNG">Extended Relationships (Powered by PeopleLink)</a></p><p>The main idea is the if you are viewing the relationship tree or the extended relationships, you can easily add someone as a first degree relationship. The system will try and identify constituents returned from PeopleLink as existing in the system, and these found will be listed in bold.</p><p>This relationships area should be available in both stand alone and integrated environments. In V2 of Sherlock we will create a more graphical representation of the six degrees of separation idea, but hopefully this is a good start. Please let me know your thoughts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://bbdesign.squarespace.com/rp-designs/rss-comments-entry-1256051.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Example Profile Reports</title><dc:creator>John O'Connell</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:39:27 +0000</pubDate><link>http://bbdesign.squarespace.com/rp-designs/2007/8/23/example-profile-reports.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">130903:1183403:1220915</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Cason had created an example&nbsp;Full Detail Profile Report for Sherlock. In this report basically every piece of wealth information we have on a constituent's record is displayed. If you have never looked at it, here is a link to review it:</p><p><a href="http://sharepoint/sites/Products/TRE/Sherlock/Requirements/Increment%201/UseCase4_UI_ProfileReport.doc">http://sharepoint/sites/Products/TRE/Sherlock/Requirements/Increment%201/UseCase4_UI_ProfileReport.doc</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I recently created two additional example reports. The first I will refer to as a full summary. It is similar to the full detail in that it lists all of the wealth records we have on a prospect, but it is summarized with just the main points instead of providing all of the detail: </p><p><a href="http://sharepoint/sites/Products/TRE/Sherlock/Requirements/Increment%201/UseCase4_UI_ProfileReportFullSummary.doc">http://sharepoint/sites/Products/TRE/Sherlock/Requirements/Increment%201/UseCase4_UI_ProfileReportFullSummary.doc</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The other example report I made&nbsp;I refer to as a thumbnail. It is a&nbsp;one page highlight of the constituent, something perhaps provided during an initial prospect validation before a thorough research has been performed. It is seen here:</p><p><a href="http://sharepoint/sites/Products/TRE/Sherlock/Requirements/Increment%201/UseCase4_UI_ProfileReportThumbnail.doc">http://sharepoint/sites/Products/TRE/Sherlock/Requirements/Increment%201/UseCase4_UI_ProfileReportThumbnail.doc</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please feel free to check these reports out and let me know what you think. What would you add? What would you take away? The idea is that we want to&nbsp;provide a&nbsp;couple of default templates that they can use right out of the box. However, they will be getting the ability to create/customize their own templates, so these could end up being just examples for them to use as guidelines.&nbsp;Development will be looking to add these templates soon, so please forward any comments so we can fix them up if necessary.</p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial"><p>&nbsp;</p></span>&nbsp;]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://bbdesign.squarespace.com/rp-designs/rss-comments-entry-1220915.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Sherlock Matching Logic</title><dc:creator>John O'Connell</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2007 19:20:50 +0000</pubDate><link>http://bbdesign.squarespace.com/rp-designs/2007/6/26/sherlock-matching-logic.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">130903:1183403:1120448</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>We have talked a few times about the new matching logic and proposed matching combinations that we will use for Sherlock. We will be able to match data in more ways than before, and we are trying to use the combinations as a level of confidence as well. Below is the current proposed list of matching combinations, along with the level of confidence they will be assigned by default. Keep in mind that the client will have the ability to chance the confidence level on any combination on a data source by data source level. So P01 could be a confidence of 4 on one data source, and a confidence of 3 on another data source.</p><p>Please provide any feedback on missing combinations, thoughts on where certain confidence levels belong by default, etc. Thanks for the help!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong> Level 1 (Confidence = 4) </strong></p> <p><strong> P01 Last Name, Primary Address, First/Middle Combination, Suffix
