The conceptual framework is titled Activation of D C. A horizontal arrow across the top states that depth of I I L progressively enables D C from sensing to reconfiguring. The framework is organised into three columns labelled Stage 1 Sensing, Stage 2 Seizing, and Stage 3 Reconfiguring. A vertical scale on the left represents I I L Depth and includes three levels: Shallow with transactional impact, Moderate with contextual impact, and Deep with systemic impact. A panel beside the scale states I I L Depth as the underlying social impact process that drives activation of D C and includes a tree with visible roots. At the deep level, Stage 1 contains Explore and challenge with the text Co explore with stakeholders, challenge assumptions, integrate diverse inputs to uncover root causes and opportunities. The outcome is Shared understanding of systemic issues. Stage 2 contains Co-design and align with the text Co-design and prioritise solutions, align resources and partners, iterate through feedback to refine and scale. The outcome is Coordinated action and validated solutions. Stage 3 contains Embed and institutionalise with the text Reconfigure processes, partnerships and governance, embed new practices and institutionalise learning. The outcome is Institutionalized change and systemic social impact. An arrow points to Social impact with the text Institutionalised, sustained and systemic transformation. At the moderate level, Stage 1 contains Interpret and validate with the text Interpret outputs collaboratively, validate with context, iterate based on feedback to improve fit and accuracy. The outcome is Contextual insight and alignment. Stage 2 contains Translate and test with the text Translate insights into actions, coordinate with partners, test and adjust through feedback. The outcome is Implemented actions and measurable improvement. Stage 3 contains Adapt and integrate with the text Adjust routines and roles, integrate useful practices, adapt based on outcomes and stakeholder feedback. The outcome is Localized adaptive improvements and value. An arrow points to Social impact with the text Localised, adaptive and incremental improvements. At the shallow level, Stage 1 contains Experiment with the text Experiment in isolation, accept outputs at face value, limited validation or testing. The outcome is Fragmented or superficial understanding. Stage 2 contains Act with the text Act on limited insights, few partners involved, weak feedback and follow through. The outcome is Low engagement and short-term actions. Stage 3 contains No real change with the text No meaningful change to routines or structures, learning not embedded. The outcome is Minimal or isolated social impact. An arrow points to Social impact with the text Minimal or isolated benefits, limited contribution to broader well-being. A note below states that I I L depth is the underlying social impact process that activates D C to varying stages sensing, seizing and reconfiguring through continuous, iterative feedback, ultimately generating social impact outcomes.Social impact matrix
