No evidence, no impact.
We distinguish activity, implementation, adoption, outcomes and impact to avoid exaggeration and support accountability.
Methodology
How we read results.
Implementation
What is working: process, system, automation, agent, dashboard, protocol or capability.Standard of proof
The artifact exists and works, demonstrable in real operation.
Adoption
Who uses it, for how long, how often and under what supervision.Standard of proof
Real usage records: who uses it, how often and under what oversight.
Outcome
Which process improved against a reasonable baseline.Standard of proof
Measurement against a reasonable baseline, with an explicit method.
Sustainability
Whether it can continue after FUNCIENCIAS with owners, documentation and resources.Standard of proof
Owners, documentation and resources that let it continue without FUNCIENCIAS.
Impact
We use this word only when there is sufficient evidence of attributable change or demonstrable contribution.Standard of proof
Sufficient evidence of attributable change or demonstrable contribution. Without it, we do not use the word.
