I’m having a conversation here about what to measure. I understand measurement as a way to make money flow more easily; pointing to value. Metrics that make giving feel like investing detract from the value received by giving; it’s similar to commodification and luxury goods in its dynamic. What to measure about social impact? Something that by the process of measurement would not detract from the perceived value of the person or institution putting forward the money. The first bar for metrics to hit is that they do not by their implementation detract from value.
