Methodology

This impact report is generated from Naftiko’s signal-based investment analysis framework. Scores are derived from the density and diversity of technology signals detected across four dimensions:

Services — Commercial platforms, SaaS products, and cloud services in active use
Tools — Open-source tools, frameworks, and libraries adopted by technical teams
Concepts — Technology domains, architectural patterns, and practices referenced in workforce signals
Standards — Protocols, compliance frameworks, and architectural standards followed

Each signal is scored and aggregated within strategic layers that map the full technology stack from foundational infrastructure through productivity and governance. Higher scores indicate greater investment depth and breadth within a given dimension.

This report is based on signal data available as of March 2026. Investment signals are dynamic and may change as WeWork’s technology strategy evolves. For questions about methodology or to request an updated analysis, contact Naftiko.
