Social Value Assessment
We quantify the social value your organisation, programme, or asset creates - measured person by person, showing who benefits, who does not, and by how much. Evidence traces to modelled pathways and holds together over time.
What We Do
Social Value Measurement That Stands Up to Scrutiny
Your organisation creates social value, but stakeholders need evidence they can trust. They need to see who benefited, by how much, and what assumptions sit behind the number.
SVT measures social value across hundreds of topics together, in one connected model. Not one outcome at a time from a fixed table of values. Not population averages borrowed from another country's dataset. SVT builds evidence from the people your work affects, the pathways that explain the change, and the time period that matters for the decision.
hundreds of topics, one connected model, person by person - every result traces to a modelled pathway, and no benefit is counted twice.
What SVT Provides
Whole-System Social Value Modelling
Using ONEMODEL, we model hundreds of social value topics in one connected model, person by person. This stops the same benefit being counted twice and produces evidence that holds together - not separate analyses stitched together afterwards.
Advisory and Training
We work with your team to build internal understanding of social value concepts, measurement frameworks, and evidence interpretation - from board-level briefings to analyst training.
Methods & Worked Examples
Explore our methodology and case studies to see how connected, person-level evidence changes the questions you can answer and the decisions you can support.
Explore the evidence →Three Ways to Work With Us
Whether you are just beginning to explore social value or ready for full person-level evidence, SVT offers a clear path forward.
Understand Your Social Value
You want to know what social value measurement means for your organisation and whether it applies to your context.
You receive: initial consultation, plain-language briefing on social value concepts, data-readiness assessment, and a written recommendation on next steps.
Timeline: 2-4 weeks. Best for: organisations exploring social value for the first time; boards needing a briefing.
See Tier 1 details →Estimate Your Social Value
You have existing programme data and want an early estimate of the social value your work generates (an estimate, not full evidence).
You receive: review of your existing data, early social value estimate using comparable benchmarks, identification of data gaps, and a summary report suitable for internal planning.
Important: Tier 2 is an estimate, not full evidence. It can guide scale and direction; Tier 3 is the full person-level evidence product. We are clear about this distinction because your credibility depends on it.
See Tier 2 details →Evidence Your Social Value
You need full evidence you can defend: person-level results, compared with what would likely have happened anyway, with assumptions clear enough for boards, regulators, or reviewers.
You receive: full engagement using SVT's three-step methodology (Understand → Measure → Demonstrate), ONEMODEL modelling of hundreds of social value topics together, distributions showing who gains and by how much, sensitivity analysis, and a final report suitable for board, regulatory, investor, or academic use.
Timeline: 4-6 months. Best for: pension funds, governments, investors, and any organisation whose evidence must withstand independent challenge.
See Tier 3 details →Who We Help
SVT works across four sectors. Each has distinct evidence needs, stakeholder pressures, and decision contexts.
Pension Funds & Investors
Quantified social value of membership; fiduciary-compatible evidence for boards and regulators.
Learn more →Government & Policy
Programme evaluation; cost-benefit evidence showing who benefits and whether spending works.
Learn more →Real Estate & Infrastructure
Social return on assets; differentiation in a market demanding social accountability.
Learn more →Non-Profits & Community
Impact evidence for funders; proof that retains and grows investment.
Learn more →Why SVT
Other approaches estimate social value one topic at a time - a fixed value per outcome, borrowed from population averages, with the topics never sharing one model. That creates hidden errors: the same benefit counted twice, missing pathways, and answers that change with how the question is framed.
SVT is different. ONEMODEL measures social value across hundreds of topics together, person by person, in one connected model. Every result traces to a pathway. Every benefit is counted once. The answer does not change just because the question is framed differently. The result is evidence you can defend in real decisions - it describes a situation that could actually exist, not just numbers that look plausible.
