We help social enterprises, communities, and researchers clarify, test, and evidence impact before significant time, funding, or reputation is committed.
Many organisations are asked to scale, apply, build, or launch before they have fully tested whether their idea is viable, sustainable, or genuinely needed.
Our work focuses on the early stage — where decisions matter most.
Our work combines research expertise, feasibility analysis, and impact development across civic, social, cultural, and research-led contexts.
We specialise in:
Early-stage project assessment
Feasibility studies and option testing
Impact frameworks and statements
Commercial viability for social enterprises
Ethical communication and representation
Ecosystem and partnership development
Core Areas of Work
Feasibility & Strategic Assessment
We conduct early-stage feasibility work that tests assumptions before investment.
This includes:
Reviewing proposals and identifying gaps
Scenario testing (e.g., multiple hubs vs consolidation)
Capacity and governance considerations
Long-term sustainability analysis
Our approach is grounded in research and tailored to small towns, social enterprises, and mission-led organisations.
Commercial Feasibility for Social Enterprises
We support social enterprises and micro-organisations to assess whether commercial opportunities are realistic and aligned with their mission.
This includes:
Reviewing private and public sector contract opportunities
Capacity and delivery risk analysis
Alignment between income generation and social purpose
Long-term sustainability over short-term growth
We help organisations decide what not to pursue — as well as what to develop.
Digital & Literacy Initiatives for Small-Scale Partnerships and Local Communities
We design and support initiatives that strengthen digital and financial capability, particularly in community and place-based contexts.
This includes:
Digital Finance literacy programmes
Digital literacy and inclusion initiatives
Use of digital tools such as AR for heritage and education
Capacity-building through workshops and pilot programmes
Digital is always assessed in relation to access, usability, and long-term sustainability.
Impact Ecosystem Development
Strong projects depend on strong relationships.
We help organisations and researchers identify and strengthen the partnerships that make initiatives viable.
This includes:
Mapping existing actors and identifying gaps
Reducing duplication across initiatives
Facilitating cross-sector collaboration
Connecting research, community, and enterprise actors
We focus on purposeful collaboration — not networking for its own sake.
