Common questions about our approach and services.

What makes Positive Loops Lab different?

We focus specifically on real-time, auditable social outcomes reporting for financial inclusion. Our approach is pragmatic, understanding the unique realities and capabilities of our partners while building practical roadmaps for positive change.

Why Focus on Social Outcomes Reporting?

Reporting is the key to demonstrating social outcomes, and improving them over time. We started Positive Loops Lab because we saw a fundamental gap between theory and practice for financial inclusion. Auditable, real-time social outcomes reporting is the Standard that matters.

How do you measure social outcomes in real-time?

We help organisations embed impact measurement into their core operations and technology systems, creating feedback loops that capture social outcomes data as part of normal business processes rather than as separate reporting exercises.

What does "auditable" social outcomes reporting mean?

Auditable reporting means creating systems and processes that can be independently verified and validated. This includes clear data trails, transparent methodologies, and robust data governance that stakeholders can trust and verify.

How long does it typically take to implement your recommendations?

Implementation timelines vary based on organisational complexity and current capabilities. We work with partners to develop phased roadmaps that typically span 6-18 months, with early wins and continuous improvement built into the process.

Do you work with organisations at all stages of impact maturity?

Yes, we work with organisations regardless of their current impact measurement maturity. Whether you're just beginning your impact journey or looking to enhance existing systems, we tailor our approach to meet you where you are.
