Transparency framework

ImpactGrade — how we score CSR projects.

ImpactGrade is GeoForever's transparent scoring framework. Every published project gets a 0–100 score across five dimensions, recomputed as new evidence arrives. Corporates see the score on every project card; NGOs see exactly how to improve it.

Methodology

The five dimensions, explained.

Each dimension contributes equally to the final 0–100 score.

SDG alignment

We tag every project against UN Sustainable Development Goals and Schedule VII categories. Higher specificity = higher score.

Beneficiary verification

Beneficiary counts must be substantiated with rosters, location data, or independent attestation before scoring.

SROI estimate

Social Return on Investment is estimated using sector benchmarks and project-specific outcome data.

Compliance completeness

CSR-1, 12A/80G, audit reports, and project documents all factor in. Missing documents reduce the score.

Field proof submitted

Geo-tagged photos, vendor invoices, and beneficiary feedback uploaded to milestones lift this score over time.
