Summary/Abstract: The article explores the possibilities of measuring social impact without losing the moral essence of “goodness.” It presents a comparative analysis of leading models and their limitations, along with a systematized assessment of key methodological challenges. The analysis demonstrates that measuring social impact is not merely a technical task but an ethical one, requiring an integrative approach — a balance between data and meaning, accountability and humanity.
