7. Контент-анализ материалов интервью в соответствии с полученными из историй кодами. Предполагается, что значимые истории изменят понимание самого проекта и приведут к формулировке новых концептов, которые используются для интерпретации опыта участников.
8. Внесение организационных изменений в проект на основании выводов исследования.
Предлагаемый способ использования методологии контрибутивной оценки включает не просто качественную оценку результатов, но дизайн исследования, действие которого (participatory action research) само по себе является инструментом позитивных социальных изменений. Он позволяет и организаторам, и участникам проекта глубже понять свои собственные цели и представления о социальном проекте.

The Clean Games project started in St. Petersburg in 2014 as a simple volunteer initiative. The project leader Dmitry Ioffe once went hiking with his friends on Lake Vuoksa, but his vacation was spoiled by a landfill on one of the islands. That is how he came up with an idea for the first waste collection contest, which over eight years evolved into a series of eco-quests uniting 90,000 players in 26 countries. The participants collect up to 5 tons of waste in one game, most of which is then recycled. The project organizers had an ambitious goal: to raise the awareness and increase public engagement in the environmental agenda. How can one assess the social impact of the Clean Games and whether their ambitious goal has actually been met? One tool that can be used for this purpose is the qualitative approach based on analyzing the participants' contributions — the contribution analysis method.

Clean Games is a team competition that involves the clean-up of natural areas from garbage and the use of waste separation (Vainer & Nizametdinova, 2022). It is held annually in dozens of cities throughout Russia and around the world. Volunteers hold all-Russian and international garbage collection tournaments — the Spring and Fall Clean Cups. More than a hundred and fifty volunteers and tens of thousands of participants are engaged in the project.
