What the network delivers — and how we count it.

An eligible company or third-level research organisation with current IRDG membership on the stated snapshot date.

Counting rule Count the agreed membership unit once. Decide whether a corporate group, legal entity and site are separate units before publishing.

One identifiable person who took part in at least one included activity during the reporting period.

Counting rule Deduplicate using the production contact record or verified work email across the full period.

One person's verified participation in one delivered session.

Counting rule A person attending three sessions contributes three attendances but only one unique participant.

A person included under the approved unit for the named IRDG AI programmes in the stated period.

Counting rule State whether the measure is registrations, verified attendances, unique people or completions. Deduplicate only when reporting unique people and list the included programmes.

A participant who met the published completion rule for a named programme or cohort.

Counting rule Set the rule before delivery—for example, required attendance, assessment or submitted work—and retain evidence of it.

One scheduled, delivered member-facing occasion with a defined purpose and audience.

Counting rule Count a conference, briefing, webinar, site visit or practice-group meeting once. Record programme cohorts and their component sessions separately rather than adding both to one total.

An IRDG-mediated, relevant connection in which both sides agree to be introduced.

Counting rule Count the completed two-way introduction once, regardless of the number of emails used to arrange it.

A current member record whose agreed location field is in an Irish county other than Dublin.

Counting rule For the current draft, use the cleaned billing-county field on the stated membership snapshot and count each agreed membership unit once.

A sector in the approved IRDG taxonomy with at least one current member organisation assigned to it on the snapshot date.

Counting rule Version the taxonomy and state whether each member receives one primary sector or may appear in several sectors.

One survey response record accepted under the method for a named annual edition.

Counting rule Report responses, completed responses and valid bases separately where they differ. Do not infer unique companies across editions.

A dated external policy, administrative or legislative change connected to a member ask in IRDG's policy record.

Counting rule Store the original IRDG ask, its date, the external decision and source, the status at the review cutoff and the contribution boundary.

A scoped mentoring relationship around a defined member question.

Counting rule Count the engagement once and record meetings separately. A follow-on scope is a new engagement only when a new brief is agreed.

A substantive member input to a consultation, working group, research project, peer session or reusable member resource.

Counting rule Count each accepted contribution once under one defined contribution type. Report contributing organisations separately and deduplicate them over the period.

A member-approved account connecting an IRDG activity with a change in practice, decision, relationship or result.

Counting rule Record the company's evidence, IRDG's contribution, date, approver and any limits on attribution. Use contribution language unless causation is evidenced.
