The Joy Margin Framework
Tracking the True Cost
Showing the Reality
The Complete PictureÂ
Based on over three decades of research, we look beyond what it costs to deliver your services and model the long-term economic effects of your interventions. Â We translate the lived reality of the street into the undeniable language of the spreadsheet.
When it cannot be measured credibly, show it. When traditional metrics fail to capture the full weight of your work, we deploy our visual ledger. Using high-quality documentary filmmaking, we capture the self-confidence, participation, and joy that social projects generate.
This is where rigorous economic evidence meets lived experience. We provide the data needed to satisfy trustees, commissioners and funders, alongside the visual evidence that shows the human reality behind the numbers.
