Why a club might use this
The community receives a transparent account of what changed, what remains unresolved and how local effort can support the next useful step.
Use it when
Residents, project participants, funders, partners and prospective volunteers who need credible evidence of local results. Use when a project has reliable outputs or outcomes and participant perspectives that can be published safely.
Before the club starts
A signed-off evidence brief distinguishing inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and unverified assumptions.
Specific participant, image, quotation and partner permissions with a non-participation option.
A public response route for corrections, project enquiries and offers of support.

Controls and safeguards
Do not claim sole causation where outcomes were shared, indirect or not independently verified; show the measurement period and limitations.
Remove identifying or sensitive details that are not necessary, and honour withdrawal or correction requests through a documented process.
HIGH - weak evidence, coercive storytelling or overstated attribution can harm participants and public trust.
What to measure
Evidence statements independently checked
Follow-up: Send contributors the final assets before launch, acknowledge public questions within two business days and issue a corrected archive if any material claim changes.
