Access and agency
Who can participate, who cannot, whether people can make informed choices and how benefits and burdens are distributed.
- Accessibility and reach
- Quality of participation
- Safety, dignity and choice
Purpose and approach
More opportunity. A more sustainable future.
Sol begins with the Sun: light, energy and growth. That idea guides our work with impact-driven clients and our focus on Chokro, using technology to help people, businesses and communities move forward.
Our purpose
Bring light, opportunity and progress through technology that helps people grow and care for our shared planet.
A working theory of change
From a real need to a defensible outcome.
We connect a practical need to a useful solution, then ask what changed. Each step needs evidence from the people and context involved.
- Need
A specific barrier is understood with the people who experience it.
- Work
A focused product or partnership addresses a plausible part of that barrier.
- Output
People can access or use what was created; delivery is counted accurately.
- Outcome
A meaningful change occurs and alternative explanations are considered.
- Learning
Evidence, limitations and unintended effects shape the next decision.
What matters to us
Three dimensions, considered together.
People, practical value and planetary responsibility guide the questions we ask. The evidence needed to assess each one depends on the work.
Usefulness and durability
Whether the work addresses the defined need, fits its context and can be maintained or handed over responsibly.
- Task success and relevance
- Adoption with context
- Stewardship and resilience
Environmental integrity
Sol also connects to our shared Solar System and responsibility for Earth. We aim to encourage eco-friendly actions and lower carbon footprints, and assess any environmental benefit with a clear method.
- Method and baseline
- Trade-offs and rebound effects
- Uncertainty and verification
A shared direction
Connect practical work to a sustainable future.
Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals is part of our purpose. They help frame the contribution we aim to make; progress needs to be measured in the context of each product or project.
Chokro’s intended contribution
Chokro’s design connects to SDG Targets 8.3, 11.6, 12.5 and 13.3. These describe areas the product aims to support. They do not represent measured outcomes or an official UN relationship.
- 8.3
- Entrepreneurship and growth of small and medium-sized enterprises
- 11.6
- Environmental impact of cities, including waste management
- 12.5
- Waste prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse
- 13.3
- Climate education, awareness, and capacity
A vision that informs our thinking
The 3ZERO vision informs our interest in inclusive enterprise and environmental responsibility. We do not claim a formal affiliation, endorsement or certification.
Claims standard
Every number needs a sentence around it.
Before publishing a metric or story as evidence of impact, the supporting record should answer these questions.
- 01
What changed?Name the outcome—not only the activity delivered.
- 02
For whom, where and when?State the population, boundary and period.
- 03
Compared with what?Explain the baseline or counterfactual and why it is reasonable.
- 04
How do we know?Link the source, method, sample and responsible reviewer.
- 05
What remains uncertain?Publish limitations, trade-offs and possible negative effects.
Learning in public
Evidence should change decisions.
Evidence helps us decide whether to improve, continue, scale, transfer, pause or stop a piece of work.
Future updates will distinguish research, delivery data, early signals and independently reviewed outcomes, with enough context for readers to understand each one.
What you should be able to check
Any future metric will explain what was measured, where and when it was measured, how the result was calculated and who is responsible for it. Sources, the review date and known limitations will help you assess the claim.
Understanding product activity
Chokro activity counts can describe use of the product, but they cannot alone show environmental or social outcomes. Any published totals need to explain their period, coverage and limitations, and avoid double-counting across SDG areas.
Reports
An impact report is not yet available on this site. A future report will explain its reporting period, methods, sources, limitations and accountable owner.
Questions, answered
Evidence and impact questions
Plain answers about where things stand and how to take part.
Where are Impact Sol’s impact numbers?
We work with impact-driven clients and develop Chokro, our main product focus. Verified outcome figures are not published on this site yet. Any future figures will need a clear method, source, timeframe and explanation of their limits.
Will environmental benefits be calculated?
Only when a relevant, defensible method and appropriate expertise are available. Future environmental claims should state what was measured, what was estimated, the comparison used, the timeframe and material uncertainties.
How will affected people influence evaluation?
Our approach calls for people affected by the work to help define useful change, question assumptions and interpret results. Participation and responsibilities need to be agreed for each project.
Challenge the approach
Good evidence gets stronger when people question it.
If you have relevant evaluation experience or see a gap in this approach, we welcome a constructive conversation.
