Good intentions are not the problem.
Disconnected decisions are.
Impact teams are asked to choose, improve and prove investments—but strategy, delivery data and learning rarely travel together.
Follow the evidence trail ↓Impact work often breaks at the handoffs.
Select each moment to see what disappears before the next decision.
Context is scattered.
Strategy, leadership priorities, geography and previous learning sit in different documents and heads.
Lost: a shared definition of what matters.The organisation pays for the disconnect repeatedly.
The case is recreated
Consultants and teams reconstruct context at every review.
Evidence is manually normalised
Partner updates require repeated interpretation and checking.
Leaders ask “so what?”
Reports describe activity without making the next choice easier.
“An impact report should not be the end of a project. It should be evidence for the next decision.”
In the workflows we reviewed, original intent, delivery evidence and the next funding decision were still often held in separate records.
One impact record that moves with the decision.
ImpactGround keeps context, judgement, evidence and learning connected—without pretending that a forecast is proof.
Before funding
Compare need, fit, overlap, risk and evidence.
→During delivery
Track conditions, submissions, exceptions and corrections.
→After delivery
Assess contribution, limitations and the next allocation.
↺Where established tools begin—and the gap we are designing around.
This is not a winner table. It shows each product’s public centre of gravity and the role ImpactGround must prove.
The gap is not another report. It is the loss of decision context between funding, delivery, evidence and the next allocation.Comparison basis: public vendor pages reviewed August 2026. Products vary by edition and implementation. Absence from a public page does not prove absence from a product. ImpactGround descriptions are intended design; the current product is a prototype.
Make better impact decisions—and keep the reasoning.
We created ImpactGround so every funding choice starts with context, carries its conditions into delivery and returns evidence to the next decision.
