evidence of impact

Evidence of impact is information or facts that show that a piece of work, project, or action has produced real results or effects.

In plain English

It is about showing what difference the work made, not just describing the work itself. The supporting information needs to point to real results or effects from a project, action, or piece of work.

In context

Here, it asks for information or facts showing that the achievements described in the self-review led to real results or effects.

Situation

Meaning limits

The term itself does not determine how large the impact was or how the results will be evaluated.

Examples

“The committee wanted evidence of impact from the reading project, not just a timetable and a list of volunteers.”

Core meaning

“In his self-review, he supported the achievements he listed with evidence of impact, such as fewer missed appointments after the changes he made.”
