Optional add-on to any full Impact Report

Independent practitioner review

The strongest answer to "can we trust this report?" is a review by someone who doesn't work for you. Add an independent review by an accredited IMM practitioner to any full Impact Report.

1

Fixed-scope review

An independent IMM practitioner reviews your report against a published rubric — methodology, evidence trail, and claims — over a fixed number of review days. Not open-ended consulting.

2

Reviewer statement

You receive a signed reviewer statement in the practitioner's own name — what was reviewed, against which standard, and their findings. Attach it to the report your LPs see.

3

Verifiable credential

The reviewed report is issued a tamper-evident digital credential via Socious Verify — anyone your report reaches can check its verification status, instantly.

Independent practitioner review

Added to any full Impact Report · credential renewal €990/yr

€14,900

For context on what independent credibility costs elsewhere: formal sustainability assurance was estimated by the SEC itself at $50,000 (limited) to $150,000 (reasonable) per company — a different, corporate-disclosure scope, but it shows the ballpark of audit-grade review. Specialist impact-verification firms price on an undisclosed, AUM-based sliding scale built for large institutional funds. At the other end, SROI report assurance runs £1,350–1,650 — but only stamps a report your team already wrote. A fixed €14,900 for the review — on top of a report we build with you, so a small-portfolio report plus its independent review lands just under €20,000 — brings independent-review discipline within reach of emerging funds and foundations.

Honest labeling: this is an independent practitioner review — not statutory audit or ISAE 3000 assurance. The reviewer's statement is issued in their own name against a published rubric.

No proprietary black-box scores

Only your data. Only cited sources.

Every report is built only from data you provide, with sources cited. Where evidence is missing, the report says so — a transparent data-gap register — instead of papering over it. Frameworks: the Five Dimensions of Impact (Impact Frontiers), IRIS+ (GIIN), the Operating Principles for Impact Management, and SFDR where applicable.
