Impact Assessment & Valuation
Don't Just Claim Impact.
Prove It.
Donors demand evidence, not just stories. We provide third-party validation using Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodologies to quantify the exact economic value your project creates.
Our Assessment Approach
Third-Party Verified
Independent validation that donors and boards trust.
SROI Methodology
Economic valuation of every rupee of social change.
Pre/Post Analysis
Rigorous difference-in-differences baseline comparison.
The Old Way vs The Impexus Way
| The Old Way | The Impexus Way |
|---|---|
| ✖ Self-reported "success stories" without data | ✅ Third-Party Verification for credibility |
| ✖ Measuring activities not outcomes | ✅ Economic Valuation of social change |
| ✖ "We spent ₹1Cr and helped 500 people" | ✅ "Every ₹1 invested generated ₹4.20 in social value." |
| ✖ No baseline data to prove change | ✅ Rigorous Pre/Post Analysis (Difference-in-Differences) |
How SROI Works — 3 Steps
Map Outcomes
Measure outcome: "Women saved 2 hours/day". Define the specific change your project creates for beneficiaries.
Assign Value
Use financial proxies (minimum wage × hours saved). Convert outcomes into economic values that donors understand.
Calculate Ratio
Total Social Value / Total Investment = SROI Ratio. The final number that proves your impact in economic terms.

The Evaluation Cycle
Baseline Study
Day 0 — Survey community before project starts. Establish measurable baseline metrics.
Midline Evaluation
Mid-Project — Health check, identify pivots, course corrections.
Endline Impact Assessment
Project Close — Final comparison vs Baseline with rigorous analysis.
Case Study
Livelihood NGO — 42% Income Increase, Donor Renewed
A livelihood program for rural women had 5 years of stories but no numbers. Impexus conducted a rigorous Baseline-Endline study using mWater (Solstice) for data collection. Inflation-adjusted analysis showed a 42% income increase for program participants. The donor not only renewed the grant but increased funding by 30%.
