What We Measure, and What We Will Not Claim

Power Up Futures Foundation, Inc. publishes its measurement approach before it publishes results. Participation and reach are reported separately from verified outcomes.

1. Our Approach to Impact

The Foundation distinguishes participation and reach — registrations, attendance, applications and engagement — from verified outcomes, which require a programme record or partner confirmation. The two are never combined into a single headline figure. Where a figure is not yet verifiable, no figure is published.

2. What We Measure
  • Participation — who enters a programme and completes a defined stage.
  • Capability — measured progress against defined capability levels, not course completion.
  • Advancement — movement into learning, work, enterprise, leadership or mobility opportunities.
  • Institutional activation — universities, employers and partners actively delivering with us.
  • Inclusion — disaggregation by gender, income, geography and rural or excluded status.
  • Cost per verified outcome — published where programme cost data supports it.
