4. What is Relationship between NTC, Commonality Matrix, and Marketplace?
Navy Task Classification (NTC) List: Foundational occupational classification data structure to codify linkages and properly align Navy OCCSTDs, O*Net taxonomy, and Navy credentialing and training.
Commonality Matrix: Reporting tool to assess and quantify commonality between Navy ratings, based on overlapping work, training, and credentials.

Sample Interpretation:
(Rating Pair 1: PS/YN)
_______________________________________
PS performs work activities similar to 52% of YN work activities.
YN performs work activities similar to 36% of PS work activities.
The PS is more equipped to perform YN work activities than the YN is equipped to perform PS work activities.
*Commonality scores shown here are based strictly on OCCSTD – DWA Commonality.
Aside from occupational commonality, other factors will need to be taken into account when making commonality-based policy decisions for rating conversion and/or distribution.
Example: AWO requires additional demanding physical and aeromedical qualifications, resulting in initial accession pipeline averaging 1.5 years. An individual Sailor’s ability to meet the minimum mental, moral, and physical requirements of the rating, as well as consideration of the total level of effort to retrain a Sailor, would need to be taken into account in any policy decision to allow conversion from STG  AWO.
Similar considerations will apply for all rating pairs.
Commonality Matrix is envisioned to help inform rating conversion opportunities, cross-rate assignment opportunities in the Detailing Marketplace, and future rating merger proposals.

7. Project Status and Way Ahead
Phase 1: Analytics Review (Complete)
Determined data requirements and sources and gathered initial data
Tested various methodologies and algorithms to assess rating commonality
Phase 2: Proof of Concept (Complete)
Rating OCCSTDs task  DOL O*Net DWA mappings completed for initial seven ratings
Conducted rating SME/TechAd validation of mappings and analysis
Developed commonality assessments for YN/PS, HT/DC, and AWO/OS/STG
Developed Commonality Decision Support Tool prototype
Phase 3: Build NTC and Commonality Matrix in WebCOOLBox (In Progress  June 2019)
Contract awarded to SOLID for development of NTC/Commonality Matrix
Conduct rating analysis and DWA mappings for remaining 80 ratings
Incorporate training, NEC, and credentialing data for remaining 80 ratings
Deliver the Commonality Decision Support Tool and provide access to stakeholders
Phase 4: Usability Review (FY19/20)
Evaluate how Commonality Matrix will be applied in the Marketplace and across other RM LOEs
Leverage NTC and Commonality Matrix to support Rating Mod pilots

Slide depicts initial findings of the rating to rating (PS & YN) commonality analysis using all OCCSTD tasks from each rating and their mapping to DWAs. The PS and YN alignment of OCCSTD tasks to DWA is currently in review by SMEs so this data is initial.
At this point, results show that PS performs more work activities similar to YN than what YN performs of PS. This means PS’s may be more familiar or more equipped with performing the work of YN’s than vice versa.
Hierarchical mapping of OCCSTD tasks to DWAs and NTC Functional Groups allows for comparison of work across Navy ratings and computation of commonality scores.

11. DC-HT Commonality Results: E4-E5
Interpretation:
DC performs work activities similar to 19% of HT work activities.
