A proprietary diagnostic tool that assesses your organisation's actual practices and systems for evidence-based decision making — revealing exactly where you stand and where to focus next.
Many organisations aspire to be evidence-driven, but aspiration and reality are often worlds apart. Without a clear understanding of where your organisation actually stands, it's impossible to know what needs to change. Good intentions don't close gaps — honest assessment does.
Critical weaknesses in your evidence systems often go unnoticed until they undermine a major decision or funding bid.
Without knowing where to focus, organisations invest in the wrong areas — collecting data nobody uses or building systems nobody trusts.
Decisions made without robust evidence lead to weaker programmes, reduced impact, and difficulty demonstrating value to funders.
Our proprietary framework examines your organisation across seven critical dimensions that determine how effectively you generate, access, and use evidence in decision making.
Each pillar is assessed through concrete, observable indicators that examine what your organisation actually does in practice — not what it aspires to do. The diagnostic reveals precisely where your strengths lie and where improvement is needed.
We start with a brief conversation to understand your organisation's context, structure, and what prompted your interest in the diagnostic. This helps us tailor the process to your specific situation.
Key stakeholders within your organisation — ideally including a Director, Manager, and Programme-level staff — complete our structured diagnostic questionnaire. Multiple perspectives ensure a comprehensive and honest assessment.
Our team analyses the responses across all seven pillars of readiness, identifying patterns, strengths, gaps, and discrepancies between stakeholder perspectives.
You receive a comprehensive report detailing your readiness score across each pillar, identified gaps, and specific, prioritised recommendations to strengthen your organisation's evidence-based decision making.
The diagnostic culminates in a detailed report that gives your leadership team a clear, honest picture of where your organisation stands — and a practical roadmap for where to go next.
