More scenarios in this quest
The quantitative data looks underwhelming — thirty families served, modest income gains. But you know the story behind each number is seismic. The gap between data and reality feels unbridgeable.
A competing organization publishes flashy impact numbers that you know are inflated. Your honest report will look weak by comparison — unless you find a way to tell the truth compellingly.
You present the impact report to the board. Every number has a name behind it, every metric has a story — make them see the humans inside the spreadsheet.
