What This Revenue Model Is

Most impact reports are created to satisfy a funder requirement. The ones that actually build the business are designed to do three things at once: attract sponsors, cultivate donors, and demonstrate expertise to premium clients.

A funded report, priced by rigor.

A credible impact report is a research deliverable, and it prices as a project. Done well, it becomes a repeatable annual asset.

Commissioned reports and survey-based research are documented at $15,000 to $100,000+ depending on rigor.

Benchmarked to research and survey consulting data (Action Learning Associates, 2025).

Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
