Measurement
How we count what counts
CVI impact is hard to measure. We don't pretend otherwise. Here is what the
network tracks — and why.
Engagement
People reached through chapter organizations, neighborhood influencers, and warm handoffs. The reach of the network on the ground.
Interruptions
Conflicts interrupted before they escalate. Tracked at the case level by chapter organizations and reported into the platform.
Coordination
Referrals moved across neighborhood lines. Warm handoffs completed. The connective tissue of the chapter in action.

Force Detroit provides the funding that makes Detroit possible. The relationship between Force Detroit and the network is the template for how funders engage at the city level.
