Concepts

What is actually going on in here?

These pages explain the ideas the Impact Model is built on — why quantify at all when the uncertainty is deep, what an impact multiplier is and why sharing one between opportunities matters more than any correlation, what a simulation and a portfolio are, and which uncertainties are worth paying to resolve. They explain; they never list column names — that is what the Reference is for.

Planned pages:

  • Why quantify under deep uncertainty
  • Impact as a conjunction of multipliers
  • Keeping the uncertainty
  • From a theory of change to a model
  • Comparing opportunities simultaneously
  • Portfolios, and what they tell you
  • Which uncertainties are worth resolving
  • What this method cannot do

These pages are being written.
