Together they generate $100k in monetary value and $1m in cobenefits and $500k in avoided externalities: that's 0.0000016%\n\nWe like this metric as it is ambitious and provides a North Star towards onboarding more powerful organisations.\n\n\n# Public good, transparent, open-source, creative commons\n\nThe only non-public piece information that is non-public is password to the email that is shared across core team members.\n\nWe are public good from the start. At the same time, we also have robust business model in place that will enable us to achieve economic sustainability: marketplace fee", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "ImpactEvalFDN"}
