A mission measured in millions only means something if the numbers are trustworthy. Our counting framework is built to distinguish genuine, verified capability from vanity metrics — and to be auditable by partners and funders.
A hierarchy of verified impact
- Reached — meaningful, verified exposure to approved learning.
- Foundation completion — a completed structured foundation pathway.
- Intensive graduate — an advanced pathway completed with performance evidence.
- Economic outcome — a job, income, promotion, freelance or business progression.
- Business transformed — an organisation that implemented a solution with measured value.
Count each person once
For headline cumulative reporting, a person is counted once, at their highest verified achievement level. Pathway and activity records are retained for operational analysis, but they are not added to unique-person totals.
We publish the reporting period, the denominator, the verification method and the known limitations behind every figure. Self-reported, partner-confirmed and independently verified outcomes are kept separate.
What we never do
We do not convert impressions, followers, radio-audience estimates or repeated sessions into trained-person counts. Marketing distinguishes participation, completion, certification and accreditation — because conflating them is how impact claims lose their credibility.
