Social Investing
This analogy helps frame the discussion, not intended to limit the discussion
$ represents the currency for financial transactions (buying shares, buying products, paying dividends)
Measure by products sold and market share (ratio of # sold to total sold)
Stories represent the currency for social interactions (sharing experiences, achieving common goals)
Measure by positive stories told and ratio of positive experiences within community
Returns should be evaluated relative to investor expectations
“ Good” means that a return meets or exceeds expectations
Institutions (in gray) structure the exchanges
Aggregate across individual transactions/interactions to provide dynamic feedback for participants

Quantifying the narrative
Social value is best codified and transmitted in stories
Financial value is best displayed in spreadsheets

Two views, but holistic value
Both kinds of value are real, and they should be measured in the way that best displays their value.

How you quantify the narrative
That’s something the StoryIndex project is about, figuring out how to encapsulate and measure narrative value along with numerical value
