Reporting on impact relies on established standards and recognised best practices, ensuring transparency, methodological rigour, and comparability across studies. The process combines quantitative and qualitative data, integrating numerical results with contextual insights to provide a comprehensive understanding of outcomes. Where relevant, secondary data sources are included to complement primary evidence and strengthen analysis.
Data interpretation is guided by underlying philosophical approaches, acknowledging that methodological choices are shaped by epistemological assumptions. The process concludes with communicating impact in a way that is clear, analytically robust, and aligned with both academic and professional conventions.
