You're creating real value. The question is whether you can prove it. Build the evidence base that demonstrates what your work is actually worth.
Every engagement is designed around your specific program, community context, and audience requirements. We draw from the following services to build the right evidence base for your organization.
Economic Impact Assessment
We evaluate your organization’s contribution to jobs, income generation, tax revenue, and regional economic development — producing findings that are rigorous, auditable, and built to communicate your value to the most demanding audiences. Whether you’re reporting to investors, government partners, or community stakeholders, our assessments give you numbers you can stand behind.
Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs)
When your project affects a community — in employment, environment, or quality of life — a well-structured Community Benefits Agreement creates accountability on both sides. We structure formal commitments on jobs, training, and environmental safeguards that secure your social license to operate and create lasting, verifiable shared value.
Program Evaluation & Performance Measurement
Are your programs delivering what they promised? We design and conduct rigorous program evaluations that assess what’s working, what needs to change, and what the evidence actually shows — giving your leadership the insight to make better decisions and your stakeholders the confidence to trust your progress claims.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility (DEIA) Program Assessment
We measure workforce demographics, equity outcomes, and program effectiveness — translating your DEIA commitments into documented, verifiable performance data. The result is a clear, credible picture of where your program stands and what it’s actually achieving.
Supply Chain Labor Practices Assessment
Ethical supply chain practices are increasingly scrutinized by investors, regulators, and procurement partners. We assess labor practices across your supply chain — identifying risks, closing gaps, and producing findings that satisfy the most rigorous due diligence requirements.
Social Return on Investment (SROI) Analysis
SROI analysis quantifies the social value your programs generate — translating community outcomes into a credible, monetized return that investors, funders, and government partners can act on. Our analyses are built to withstand independent scrutiny and designed for sophisticated audiences who need more than a narrative.
Public Participation Programs
Meaningful input doesn’t happen on its own. We design and facilitate virtual and in-person forums that gather substantive community input, address concerns directly, and demonstrate that you’re listening — not just presenting.
Equity & Inclusion Impact Assessment
We assess how your organization’s operations, programs, and investments affect historically underserved communities — producing findings that document equitable outcomes and identify where gaps remain. These assessments give your equity commitments an evidence base that holds up to both internal review and external scrutiny.
Local Content & Workforce Utilization Tracking
Meeting local hiring and procurement targets isn’t enough if you can’t prove it. We build the tracking systems and produce the documentation that demonstrates how your operations support inclusive economic growth in the communities you serve — satisfying contract requirements, investor expectations, and community accountability standards simultaneously.
Your organization is creating jobs, generating income, training workers, and driving local procurement.
But if you can’t demonstrate that value clearly — to investors, funders, government partners, and the communities you serve — it doesn’t carry the weight it should. Good intentions aren’t enough. Neither are anecdotes. You need rigorous, independent findings that stand up to scrutiny, inform better decisions, and communicate your impact with the credibility every serious audience demands. We build that evidence base.
You’re in the right place if:
Your organization is creating measurable community and economic value — but lacks the data to demonstrate it clearly
Investors or funders require a credible social return on investment analysis before committing capital
Government partners need documented economic impact findings to justify continued support or funding
Your DEIA program is active — but you don’t have the performance data to show what it’s actually achieving
Contract requirements demand local content and workforce utilization tracking that holds up to audit
You need independent, third-party findings — not internal estimates — to give your impact claims credibility
How it runs through the Laisar 3-D Framework™
Every Economic & Social Impact Analysis engagement runs through our 3D Framework — ensuring your findings are grounded in verified data, developed with genuine stakeholder input, and communicated in a way every audience can trust and act on.
Data
We establish the measurement framework first — identifying the right indicators, closing data gaps, and building the collection systems that produce accurate, auditable findings. The quality of your impact evidence starts here.
Dialogue
We engage your program teams, community stakeholders, and beneficiaries to ensure findings reflect real outcomes — not just reported outputs. Genuine stakeholder input is what separates credible impact analysis from self-reported claims.
Disclosure
We translate your findings into clear, credible communications — from SROI reports built for institutional investors to community impact summaries written for the people your programs serve. Every output is designed for the audience that needs to act on it.
Why Laisar
Independent & Defensible
Our findings are built to withstand scrutiny — from investors, auditors, government reviewers, and community advocates. We don’t produce reports that confirm what you want to hear. We produce findings you can defend in any room.
Built for Sophisticated Audiences
Our economic impact assessments and SROI analyses are designed for the most demanding audiences — institutional investors, federal agencies, development finance institutions, and oversight bodies that know the difference between rigorous analysis and polished summaries.
Grounded in Real Communities
Economic and social impact isn’t abstract. It’s jobs. It’s income. It’s opportunity in specific communities. We design every engagement around the real conditions, real stakeholders, and real outcomes that make findings credible — not just statistically valid.
Integrated for Action
Impact analysis is most powerful when it feeds directly into your engagement and reporting programs. Our findings don’t sit in a report — they inform your community relationships, strengthen your disclosures, and support every commitment you’ve made to the stakeholders who matter most.
