WE MEASURE WHAT’S REALLY WORKING

Every year, billions of dollars are spent on social programs, but traditional ways of measuring success often overlook actual impact. When communities are treated less like partners and more like numbers, trust is destroyed and impact is diminished. This keeps in place the very problems that these programs had hoped to address, or worse, causes harm. Using a take-what-you-need approach can lead to flawed conclusions, wasted funding, and programs that fail to create lasting, positive change.

Inky Methods Research is a global, remote‑first consulting firm that helps organizations measure and maximize the effectiveness of their programs.

From early‑stage concept design to long‑term evaluation, we use mixed‑methods research — combining data analysis and human insight — to help clients see what’s working, fix what’s not, and ensure every initiative creates value on the ground.

By 2028, we aim to be the global leader in practical, data‑driven evaluation for organizations that care about lasting social impact.
