Impact dataset methodology

This first-party dataset is a privacy-safe research aid for the approved Impact follow-up archive. It is not an independent audit or a complete lifetime accounting.

Version and scope

Version 1.0.0. As-of date 2026-08-22. It contains 18 approved public records.

Counting and money categories

Displayed public campaign totals, direct gifts, presentation amounts, estimated donated value, and nonfinancial outcomes remain separate. A public campaign total is not represented as a beneficiary withdrawal or as an amount Josh controlled unless a record separately establishes that fact.

Privacy and exclusions

The dataset excludes exact addresses, coordinates, bank details, transfer records, tax records, medical records, nomination submissions, private contact information, minor-related private information, raw footage, and internal review material.

Limitations and corrections

Locations are generalized or withheld. Unknown fields remain explicit. The absence of a public follow-up does not establish that no private contact occurred. Submit corrections through the corrections process.
