Get Better: Show your impact

Through user testing, SROI analysis, and social value evaluation, we help you demonstrate real results, not just to stakeholders, but to ensure your growth is genuinely sustainable.

The Cost of Not Measuring Impact

You might be making a difference, but you can't prove it, improve it, or scale it effectively.

Stakeholders grow sceptical when they can't see concrete evidence of impact. Resources get wasted on initiatives that don't work, while opportunities to scale successful programs slip by unnoticed. Without clear metrics, you miss the small improvements that compound into a massive impact over time.

Meanwhile, social value requirements and impact reporting standards are getting stricter every year. Organisations that aren't prepared risk losing future funding when they can't demonstrate their effectiveness. The cost of poor measurement can lead to missed opportunities in a time when procurement is driven by accountability.

Our evidence-based impact approach

We help you measure what matters through robust evaluation methodologies that prove your impact and guide your growth strategy.

Performance Testing

Measure how well your products, services, and programmes actually work in the real world, not just how you think they work.

Strategic Optimisation

Turn measurement insights into strategic decisions. Identify what's working, what isn't, and where to focus your resources for maximum impact.

Impact Quantification

Convert your programmes into compelling evidence through SROI analysis, social value measurement, and outcome tracking.

Social Value Reporting

Meet social value requirements while building systems and approaches that make ongoing reporting efficient and meaningful.

Stakeholder Validation

Prove your value to funders, investors, and partners. From grant applications to board reports, we help you tell your impact story with data.

Continuous Evaluation

Build measurement into your operations so you can track progress, catch problems early, and continuously optimise your impact.

Our testing and measurement toolkit

We select the right combination of methods based on your objectives, timeline, and available resources. We use AI and automation to add efficiencies into our processes.

Evaluation Methods

  • Measure changes in knowledge, behaviour, and outcomes before and after interventions

  • Deep qualitative insights into user experience, satisfaction, and unmet needs

  • Compare different versions to optimise performance and user engagement

  • Gather real-world feedback from early adopters in controlled environments

  • Extract insights from existing CRM, analytics, and operational datasets

Impact Measurement

  • Quantify the social value created for every pound invested in your programme

  • Map out how your activities lead to intended outcomes and long-term impact

  • Ensure your measurement aligns with government social value requirements

  • Visualise the relationship between inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes

  • Involve stakeholders in designing evaluation approaches that matter to them

In-Depth Insights

  • Understand what works for whom, in what circumstances, and why

  • In-depth analysis of specific examples to understand complex interventions

  • Systematic evaluation of small-scale implementations before full rollout

  • Track changes and impact over extended time periods

  • Predict future outcomes and optimise resource allocation

Case studies

Cancer Alliance Programme Evaluation

The situation: The Alliance had received transformation funding to deliver the national cancer strategy, with projects targeting cervical cancer awareness among Turkish, Bangladeshi, Chinese and Somali communities. They needed a rigorous evaluation to understand which approaches were effective and which weren't delivering results.

What we did: We applied a Theory of Change framework, conducting interviews with 16 stakeholders across all six projects. Using the Wisconsin Logic Model approach, we mapped project needs, inputs, outputs, and outcomes to identify what worked in both community-based and practice-based settings.

The outcome: Our evaluation revealed that coordinated action between stakeholders and volunteer motivation were key success factors, while timing challenges and cultural barriers needed addressing. The Alliance now has clear evidence-based recommendations for future commissioning, including the proven Health Ambassador model that can be scaled across other regions.

Amazon Innovation Accelerator Social Value Assessment (Ongoing)

The situation: Amazon needed evidence of their broader social value to inform future programme development and demonstrate impact to stakeholders.

What we did: We developed a comprehensive Social Value (TOMs) and Social Return on Investment (SROI) framework that tracks both direct outcomes like businesses supported and jobs created, alongside indirect benefits including community impact, innovation diffusion, and ecosystem development across the UK social enterprise landscape.

The outcome: We're currently tracking long-term social impact with the full SROI analysis expected late 2025. This will provide Amazon with robust evidence of its social value creation and inform strategic decisions for the accelerator's next phase of development.
