Design and Evaluation of an Framework Research Theory
The methodology follows the DSR approach described by Hevner, March, Park, and Ram, (2004) is used. The DSR is a widely applied research approach and is concerned with developing useful artifacts. It is a problem-solving paradigm in which the boundaries of organizational capabilities for creating new artifacts are extended together with the understanding of a problem domain through the building and also application of the design artifact (Hevner et al., 2004). The used methods are derived
DSR as research approach with the object of product an design artifact, that will be build taking thanking an existing artifact as an starting point, and evaluate.
O que é importante é que é uma metodologia de pesquisa emergente e por esse motivo e também uma meta hoje é que pressupõe que as próprias pesquisas nem sempre só de metrologia as pesquisas que estão não são de metrologia também tragam contribuições para a metrologia então usamos algumas referências como fontes bases para suportar de uma forma mais robusta o nosso estudo

An artifact in technology is something invented, discovered or developed by man that has worked well enough to be considered valid for dealing with the problems, both external and internal, of the users or beneficiaries of the artifact (LEE; THOMAS; BASKERVILLE, 2013). An framework is a type of artifact…
Design Science is the most preeminent research approach for artifact development. Is is the most suitable option, much because of the “nature” of the object under study, an artifact, but also an approach that could be constructive, even with big research constraints, potently make an contribution in practical terms to product management.
Seminal authors started the branch of Design Science in Information Systems (Nunamaker et al., 1990; Hevner et al., 2004; Peffers et al., 2007; Hevner & Chatterjee, 2010) and for sure their work brought clarity and guidance on how to us DS IS, but DS overall not mature to ensure homogeneous quality research, providing more methods, references for decisions etc., so, I took this as an warning and watched with care, to, not only product an good research, but also, with no doubts about the methodology and methods used as a limitation or point of questioning.

A set of Design Science Research Positioning Statements were suggested by (Baskerville et al., 2018). This project research goal of this project falls under “Design artifacts” in type of objectives as proposed by presenting the guidance of “Demonstrate its novelty and its practical improvements, first, then move to reflecting on design theory contributions.”. Simultaneals, to find support for our methodology contributions, hence, not being our secondary goal, we used in our research of DSR processes, including research contributions of other DSR Research.
As noted in Hevner et al (2004), design science research is informed both by existing theory and by business needs. This paper asserts that theory building should occur both as a precursor and as a result of design research.

The results inform DS researchers of usual and customary combinations of research artifacts and evaluation methods, potentially providing them with rationale and justification for an evaluation method selection. (Peffers et al., 2012)
DSR is an emergent research approach, and sometimes is questioned because it’s not as prescriptive as research methods, the ways you can use it may not be validated. From that it was clear that we guidance principles to ensure this research can produce relevant contributions.
What design processes will be used to build the artefact? The design science research framework and the three design science cycles are used to build the artefact. The researcher also makes use of surveys/questionnaires to determine if all the requirements were met after a specific data model was chosen.
Devo incluir Questions as by Hevner and Chatterjee (2010:20) . What is the research question (design requirements)? e DSR guideline that can accompany question?
Not only get reference of strategies for evaluating, but also finding an reference study who applied the strategy, to fortify understanding and hability to apply the methodologies in our study.
Venable et al. (2017) mention 6 possible methodologies that can be followed when doing design science research. As for design evaluation methods, it falled in the static sma;ust, where we are seeeking to examine structure of the artifact (havner2004) .. what are the static analysis attributes…
DSR does not offer Among it's different method, we choose Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), because it contains principles, practices and procedures necessary to carry out research projects (**PEFFERS et al., 2008**) and which contributes a lot to its use because it has challenges for application development of high-quality research **(HEVNER et al., 2004**).
For sure this research has an level of complexity for its purposed (MSc), and as advised by the advisor, we searched for good inspirations of applied methodology, seek guidance how to operationalize the research approach, with some backing work, since the major contribution is not the methodology itself, despite the fact that researches are prescribed and encourage to produce methodology contributions from the application of DSM.
As there is little guidance in the DSR literature about the choice of strategies and methods for evaluation in DSR (REF) Central thing → Evaluation, method and the output of the method. evaluation methods are a key element f the research…
DSR literature identifies a fairly large number and variety of evaluation methods, but gives little advice as to choice among methods, i.e. how to design an evaluation strategy for a particular DSR project.
Rather than selecting one in dept, we prefered an more longitudinal approach.
We couldn’t find an single research that could represent an research approach for our object, so our methodology is a combination of some research, as follows: overall research methodology structure (Pelt et al., 2021), framework evaluation (Pelt et al., 2021), Semi-structured expert Interview (Pelt et al., 2021, Albrecht, 2021), quantitative evaluation of artifact (Albrecht, 2021), evaluation of artifact via web based survey (Brandtner & Helfert, 2018), Expert Evalulation (Peffers).

Adherence and usefulness regarding the artifact in context, and eventually an improved artifact.
(Deveria ficar aqui o What to Evaluate?)
Design Science Research is a method that establishes and operationalizes research when the desired goal is an artifact (Dresh 2014)
