Impact metrics report

Please note, not all questions were answered by all survey respondents due to the way in which individual surveys were set up.

The uploading of new data has been temporarily disabled as we prepare to transition the service to the new TMD (click on the link to preview). We anticipate re-enabling data uploads by the end of 2023.
