Purpose
This foundation defines how Untold Coffee will distinguish activity, outcome, and impact before public figures are issued. Social Return on Investment is one possible method within that wider accountability system; it is not the system itself.
Evidence sequence
Public evaluation begins with affected stakeholders, a defined program and period, an agreed baseline, consent-aware data collection, reviewable evidence, and follow-up. It must record positive, negative, and unintended outcomes.
Adjustment and attribution
Any later valuation must consider what would have happened anyway, the contribution of other people or organizations, displacement, duration, drop-off, and uncertainty. BRU or Clario contributions to a UCALP project must not be counted again as separate impact.
Publication boundary
No participant-level personal data, unsupported monetary proxy, ecosystem-wide ratio, or externally verified label may be published from this foundation. Indicative or assured SROI requires explicit source data, sensitivity analysis, approved methodology, and an appropriate independent assurance decision.
Current limitation
No baseline, outcome evaluation, follow-up dataset, financial proxy, or public impact report is currently published here. Any future claim will appear only with the evidence and limitations needed to understand it.
