Getting Started

ImpactAccounting.ai builds company-specific impact valuations using AI. Instead of relying on sector averages or consultant spreadsheets, it models 50-60 distinct impact pathways for each company, traces them from business activities through to monetized societal outcomes, and presents the results in an interactive, auditable format.

The methodology

ImpactAccounting.ai is built on the eQALY impact valuation method — an open, standardized framework for translating diverse impact metrics (CO₂ emissions, wages, health outcomes, tax contributions, etc.) into comparable monetary values. It uses change in well-being as its unifying indicator, spanning seven outcome categories across natural, human, and social capital.

This means every result you see in ImpactAccounting.ai — from individual pathway values to the SROI ratio — traces back to a peer-reviewed, publicly documented methodology. The AI automates the modeling; the eQALY framework provides the accounting logic.

First project flow

1. Create a project - Enter the organization or initiative details, analysis intent, reference year, currency, and supporting documents.
2. Run the analysis - ImpactAccounting.ai's AI models the impact pathways, variables, sources, and assumptions.
3. Read the results - Review the impact statement, headline KPIs, pathway contribution views, risks, opportunities, and data challenges on the Insights page.
4. Explore the model - Open the Model workspace to inspect pathways, variables, citations, scenarios, KPIs, and exports.
