Thank you for writing and posting this, Karla. I think this impact assessment is 1) really well-written and well-explained and 2) a really valuable addition to the forum.
I don’t feel like I see lots of impact assessments on projects that don’t go the way we might expect or want them to and it would be good to see more so that we, as a community, can update and others won’t end up trying something too similar in future without considering these results first.
It also seems important that the project team got value out of doing this which itself shouldn’t be understated; the lessons you’ve learned and the thoughts you share in the ‘What next?’ section seem right to me and I think it’s a really solid example of someone in the community updating in response to evidence.
Looking forward to seeing what you go on to do next!
It would indeed be interesting to see impact assessments across groups and projects to get a rough idea of the expected value of different projects and improve intuitions on community building.
