Every impact claim should be traceable
This page defines how Expert365 can move from field data and programme records to public figures that are clear, current and reviewable.
What is currently known
The current site and client brief provide a strong reporting baseline, while detailed source mapping is still required.
Field footprint
Village and school counts should link to an approved site register and reporting date.
Water treated
The cumulative litres figure needs its source system, aggregation rule and reporting period documented.
People served
The definition of ‘served’ and the method for avoiding double counting should be recorded.
Carbon avoidance
The baseline, emission factors, system boundary and update process must be approved.
Publishing status and rules
| Metric | Current presentation | Source status | Publishing rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90 villages | Reported programme footprint | Client-supplied; source mapping pending | Publish with reporting period and location definition |
| 126 schools | Reported programme footprint | Client-supplied; source mapping pending | Publish with site list or approved register |
| 392,315 people served | Reported programme reach | Definition and period pending | Publish only after reach methodology is approved |
| 5.2+ billion litres disinfected | Reported operational total | Calculation/source mapping pending | Publish with unit, period and aggregation rule |
| Carbon avoidance | Tracked on the current site | Baseline and method pending | Do not publish a new total until methodology is approved |
Five checks before publication
1. Source
Identify the system, record or document behind the figure.
2. Define
Record the metric definition, unit, boundary and reporting period.
3. Validate
Check completeness, duplicates, anomalies and reconciliation totals.
4. Approve
Obtain named client approval for the method and presentation.
5. Publish
Show the last-updated date, status and explanatory notes.
Transparency commitments
- Separate reported programme figures from independently verified outcomes.
- Never infer health, education, gender, employment or energy outcomes from reach alone.
- Label delayed or unavailable telemetry instead of displaying stale values as live.
- Keep a visible record of definitions, methodology changes and approval dates.
