Measuring what matters

Impact reporting has a credibility problem. Too many numbers are chosen because they are easy to collect, not because they reflect the change a program actually creates.

At CSC Impact we start from methodology. Every indicator has a chain of evidence: what it measures, how it is collected, what it excludes, and how confident we are in the result. Only then does it earn a place on a dashboard.

This first note in Contexta sets the frame. Precision, plainspoken language, and evidence you can audit — that is the standard we hold ourselves to.
