Government and international reporting
Why: When you need to align with national priorities or global goals your funders recognise.
Examples: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), government outcome frameworks
Reporting lenses
Alignment layers, not proof
Reporting lenses help interpret evidence for different audiences. They do not prove impact, certify compliance, or replace review.
Different audiences ask for different reporting shapes: a board summary, funder table, grant report, or international goals narrative. CIIS helps you keep one evidence base and interpret it carefully, without pretending that a framework label proves impact.
What this is not
CIIS does not certify you against framework owners. Labels help structure interpretation; every statement still needs evidence, review, and clear limits. Your organisation remains responsible for meeting funder, regulator, legal, or framework-owner requirements.
Use the lens your audience needs
Funders and investors
Why: When you must show value for money or social return in terms finance stakeholders understand.
Examples: Social Return on Investment (SROI), Triple Bottom Line (TBL), grant reporting
Community and place-based work
Why: When local wellbeing, equity, resilience, or governance quality is the heart of the story.
Examples: Wellbeing frameworks, diversity and inclusion (DEI), resilience indicators
Executive and program overview
Why: When leaders need one readable summary without losing sight of evidence limits.
Examples: Theory of Change, program funnels, executive synthesis lens
What CIIS helps you avoid
The same evidence re-keyed for different tables, or framework language that sounds impressive but drifts from what the data can support. CIIS focuses on structured outcomes, measures, and what the evidence supports — then applies reporting language only where your pilot and release allow.
See how CIIS assigns evidence-based claim statuses on the What CIIS does page — including the full evidence stack and permission model.
How it works in practice
- 1.One structured dataset — what happened, who it affected, and what changed, with sources attached.
- 2.Apply the right lens — map to the reporting shape your audience needs, where evidence and implementation support it.
- 3.Check before you share — see what is ready to share, what needs review, and what is not yet supported by evidence.
