Impact Reports
What the work adds up to
Impact is not a buzzword. It is a measurement practice. We track what we produce, who we reach, what changes, and how we contribute to the broader ecosystem. Then we publish the numbers.
How We Measure Impact
Four dimensions that capture what our work produces.
Research Output
- Published reports, papers, and policy briefs
- Open-source tools and datasets released
- Projects completed and documented
- Citations and references by other organizations
Community Reach
- Event attendees and workshop participants
- Newsletter subscribers and content readers
- Community members engaged in projects
- Geographic and demographic diversity of reach
Policy Influence
- Policy briefs cited in legislative proceedings
- Public testimony delivered at hearings
- Coalitions formed or joined
- Policy changes we contributed to
Ecosystem Contribution
- Organizations using our open tools and data
- Cross-sector connections facilitated
- Regional visibility and narrative impact
- Talent attracted or retained in the region

Impact reporting done right.
Impact reports are easy to inflate. Cherry-pick the right metric, use the right denominator, and any organization can look like it changed the world. We refuse to do that.
Our impact reports include the numbers that did not improve. They include the projects that fell short. They include honest assessments of where we spent time and resources without achieving the outcome we planned. This is not self-flagellation. It is the minimum standard for an organization that claims to operate on evidence.
Every metric we report includes its methodology. Every claim includes its source. If we cannot measure something with confidence, we say that instead of inventing a number that sounds impressive.
Historical Data
Impact tracked over time.
Coming Soon
Year-over-year trends and long-term trajectory data will appear here as we complete our first year and beyond.
