Impact
Innovation Measured by the Difference It Makes
At TWIG FOUNDRY, impact is not an additional feature. It is part of the reason we build. We want our products to contribute to meaningful improvements in access, participation, opportunity, and quality of life.
What impact means to us
Beyond usage numbers
Impact is not limited to the number of people who use a product. It also includes:
- Whether people can access something they were previously excluded from
- Whether a product helps remove a meaningful barrier
- Whether users gain knowledge, skills, confidence, or opportunity
- Whether organisations can reach people more effectively
- Whether communities are better supported
- Whether the product remains useful over time
Our impact principles
Principles that shape our practice
Start with a Real Need
We do not begin with technology and search for a problem. We begin with a challenge and determine whether technology can contribute to a useful solution.
Build with the Community in Mind
Products should reflect the realities of the people they are intended to serve.
Measure What Matters
We aim to look beyond downloads, registrations, or visibility. We care about participation, completion, access, learning, and practical outcomes.
Improve Responsibly
Feedback and evidence should guide how a product develops.
Think Beyond the Launch
Real impact requires continued engagement, maintenance, learning, and improvement.
Current impact focus

- Expanding access to sign-language-supported learning
