Measuring Success: How 10 Billion Tracks Progress Towards a Better World

At 10 Billion, our mission is to create a world that works for all 10 billion people projected to inhabit our planet by 2060. But how do we measure progress towards such an ambitious goal? We believe in transparency, accountability, and data-driven decision-making. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive framework to track our impact and measure success across multiple dimensions.

Our vision is a world free from existential threats like war, nuclear conflict, and environmental collapse, with equal access to opportunities, a stable climate, and technology that benefits all of humanity. We believe that by recognizing our shared vision, we can turn these challenges into opportunities for global flourishing in our lifetime.

Our Vision

We envision a world free from existential threats such as war, poverty, and environmental degradation. By recognizing our shared aspirations and mobilizing collective action, we can achieve transformative change.

Our Measurement Framework

1. Global Awareness Index (GAI)

We measure the spread of our core message – that people worldwide share a common vision for humanity’s future – through our Global Awareness Index.

Metrics:

  • Social media reach and engagement
  • Website traffic and user engagement
  • Media mentions and sentiment analysis
  • Survey data on public awareness of shared global goals

Why It Matters: Awareness and engagement are crucial first steps toward collective action.

Target: Increase GAI by 25% year-over-year, aiming for 10% global awareness and 1 million active participants by 2026.

2. Action Multiplier Score (AMS)

We track how effectively we inspire and enable concrete actions towards our shared goals.

Metrics:

  • Number of local chapters established
  • Volunteer hours contributed
  • Projects initiated by community members
  • Policy proposals influenced by our movement

Why It Matters: We need to track how effectively we inspire and enable concrete actions towards our shared goals.

Target: Double our AMS every two years

3. Global Challenges Progress Tracker (GCPT)

We monitor advancement in key areas crucial to our vision:

a) Create a World Without War

  • Reduction in global military spending
  • Progress on nuclear disarmament treaties
  • Decline in armed conflicts worldwide

b) Protect Our Planet

  • Global carbon emissions reduction
  • Increase in renewable energy adoption
  • Biodiversity preservation indicators

c) End Extreme Poverty for Everyone

  • Reduction in extreme poverty rates
  • Improvements in global income inequality (Gini coefficient)
  • Access to education and healthcare in developing nations

d) Secure Health for All

  • Global health system resilience scores
  • Vaccine development and distribution capabilities
  • Early warning system effectiveness for potential pandemics

e) Use Technology to Improve Lives

  • Implementation of ethical AI guidelines globally
  • Digital literacy rates worldwide
  • Cybersecurity and data protection improvements

f) Uphold Freedom, Justice, and Human Rights

  • Freedom House Index improvements
  • Reduction in human rights violations reported by Amnesty International
  • Increase in voter participation rates globally

Why It Matters: These challenges represent the most pressing issues facing humanity and align with our core objectives.

Target: Positive trend in at least 4 out of 6 areas annually

4. Coalition Building Metric (CBM)

We assess our ability to forge partnerships and unite diverse stakeholders.

Metrics:

  • Number and diversity of partner organizations
  • Joint initiatives launched with other global movements
  • Cross-sector collaborations (e.g., NGOs, governments, corporations)

Why It Matters: Collaboration amplifies our impact and helps us address complex global challenges.

Target: Increase CBM by 20% annually, aiming to establish 100 diverse partnerships by 2026.

5. Public Opinion Shift (POS)

We track changes in public sentiment and behavior aligned with our goals.

Metrics:

  • Longitudinal surveys on global issues awareness
  • Reported individual actions supporting our mission
  • Shifts in voting patterns on relevant policy issues

Target: Demonstrate statistically significant positive shifts in POS every election cycle

6. Digital Engagement Depth (DED)

We measure the quality and depth of online interactions within our community.

Metrics:

  • Average time spent on our digital platforms
  • User-generated content quality and quantity
  • Peer-to-peer connections facilitated

Why It Matters: We need to measure the quality and depth of online interactions within our community.

Target: Increase DED by 15% year-over-year

7. Resource Mobilization Efficiency (RME)

We evaluate our ability to effectively utilize resources for maximum impact.

Metrics:

  • Funds raised vs. measurable outcomes achieved
  • Volunteer retention and satisfaction rates
  • Return on investment for awareness campaigns

Why It Matters: We need to evaluate our ability to effectively utilize resources for maximum impact.

Target: Improve RME by 10% anually

8. Innovation Incubator Impact (III)

We track the development and scaling of solutions addressing our critical challenges.

Metrics:

  • Number of innovations supported
  • Scale and impact of implemented solutions
  • Replication of successful innovations in different contexts

Why It Matters: Fostering and scaling innovative solutions is crucial for addressing complex global challenges.

Target: Support and scale at least 10 high-impact innovations by 2026.

Transparent Reporting and Adaptive Strategy

We are committed to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. Our approach includes:

  1. Monthly updates on our website and social media channels
  2. Quarterly progress reports on all metrics
  3. Annual comprehensive report analyzing our progress, challenges, and plans
  4. Annual stakeholder meetings to review and refine our measurement framework
  5. Engagement with independent auditors to verify our data and methodologies
  6. Maintenance of an open-source database of our metrics for public analysis

Our measurement framework will evolve based on emerging trends, feedback, new technologies, and lessons learned.
