The IMPACT Standard

The IMPACT Standard is the quality system used by Great Reminders to measure whether a knowledge page truly helps busy leaders.

It ensures every framework on the platform solves real problems, is easy to remember, and can be applied immediately in real situations.

Why this standard exists

Most leadership content fails not because it is wrong — but because it is:

  • too complex
  • too theoretical
  • too hard to remember
  • too difficult to apply in real situations
The IMPACT Standard ensures knowledge turns into action — not just understanding.

The IMPACT Model

I — Important Pain Solved

Does this page solve a real leadership challenge that matters in daily work?

M — Memorable Framework

Is the core idea simple, structured, and easy to remember?

P — Practical & Actionable

Can a leader apply this immediately after reading?

A — Authority & Credibility

Is the content based on proven models, science, or real experience?

C — Complete Knowledge Coverage

Does it capture most of what truly matters for this topic?

T — Tellability

Can a reader explain the idea easily after reading once?

How scoring works

Each dimension is scored from 0 to 10.

The final IMPACT score represents the overall quality of the knowledge page.

High-impact knowledge is simple, actionable, and easy to remember.

IMPACT scores help leaders quickly identify the most valuable frameworks to focus on.

Evaluation prompt used on the platform

PROMPT TO CALCULATE IMPACT SCORE

You are an expert evaluator for the Great Reminders platform. Your job is to evaluate the quality of a knowledge page designed for busy leaders.

The goal is NOT academic completeness, but solving real leadership pain, being easy to remember, easy to apply, and easy to explain.

Score the page using the IMPACT model (I-M-P-A-C-T), rate each dimension from 0–10, calculate a total score, identify the weakest area, and provide improvement suggestions.

The guiding principle

Knowledge only creates value when it is remembered and applied.

The IMPACT Standard ensures every Great Reminder helps leaders move from learning to real-world results.
