How we measure
We measure impact by systems change and by who gets to lead, not by volume.
Enterprise frameworks
Employment created, leadership access, procurement compliance outcomes.
Public impact frameworks
Platform participation, system influence narratives, policy engagement.
Lived experience validation
Evaluation cycles co led with affected communities.
Sector feedback loops
Stakeholder adoption rates, sector practice shifts.
