A corporate mentoring session in progress

Impact and proof

Transparent method

A social value number is only useful if someone else can rebuild it. We publish the inputs, the multipliers and the assumptions behind every figure, and we mark estimates as estimates.

Inputs shown in full

Places funded, attendance, mentoring hours and outcome counts are published as raw inputs before any valuation is applied.

Multipliers and sources

Each multiplier used is stated with its source and date, so reviewers can check it against the framework they work to.

See them in the estimator
Estimates labelled clearly

Planning estimates from the estimator are always labelled indicative. Reported value comes from recorded delivery only.

Restatement policy

If a figure changes after follow-up data arrives, we restate it and note what changed rather than quietly revising history.
