Impact Score Calculation
How is Impact Score Calculated?
Data Sources
The Impact Score is shaped by two primary data sources: resource contributions and impact results, the latter being strengthened through incorporating Impact-Weighted Accounts.
Resource contributions encompass time and financial investments. Time valuation considers work nature, experience level, and geography, with special acknowledgment for pro bono work. Financial contributions include donations and responsible investments, processed through Socious' app with blockchain storage.
Impact measurement uses Impact-Weighted Accounts methodology to quantify tangible results including education access, healthcare services, and CO2 reduction.
