Who we help

Who we help

Teams that must explain outcomes to boards, funders, or partners, and need to know what the evidence actually supports. Some engagements also use CIIS, our evidence infrastructure, where an ongoing evidence system would help.

Five pressuresOne question
  1. 01Community organisations and NGOs

    Data scattered across spreadsheets and stories

  2. 02Councils and local government

    Limits visible before information is shared

  3. 03PHNs and oversight teams

    Progress compared across providers

  4. 04Funders and philanthropies

    Grantee reports on shared definitions

  5. 05Evaluation and strategy teams

    Sources inspectable beside conclusions

  6. The question

    What does the evidence actually support?

Different reporting pressures, the same underlying question. Examples, not a complete list.

That can mean evaluation, evidence synthesis, measurement design, or reporting support, with definitions, measures, and evidence made explicit rather than standardised away.

Audience fit

  • 01

    Community organisations and NGOs

    If your data is scattered across spreadsheets and stories, IIL can help you structure what you can say to boards and partners without overstating weak evidence. When that discipline needs to hold across reporting cycles, CIIS can keep the claims, sources, and limits in one place.

    For example: A CIIS-supported test of one annual-report claim, for example participation or wellbeing wording, against survey exports and service records before publication.

  • 02

    Councils and local government

    If you are accountable to committees or funders, IIL can help you show what the evidence can support, with limits visible before information is shared. CIIS is useful when those limits need to travel with the information every time it is reused.

    For example: A place-based programme or grant round where committee reporting must separate what the data supports from what is still assumption. A CIIS pilot is one way to keep that separation visible.

  • 03

    Primary Health Networks (PHNs) and programme oversight teams

    If you commission programmes, IIL can help you compare progress and data quality across providers, with depth agreed for the engagement rather than promised generically. Where that comparison needs to stay current across a commissioning cycle, CIIS can support the comparison. Where commissioned programmes report through a national Minimum Data Set, IIL can review the quality of that data and interpret what the measures can and cannot support.

    For example: An illustrative example: looking at outcome statements across two or three commissioned providers, with evidence quality and what can be shared visible before aggregation.

  • 04

    Funders, philanthropies, and impact investors

    If you oversee grants, IIL can help grantees report with shared definitions and honest evidence limits. CIIS can help keep definitions and evidence limits consistent across grantee reports; it is not a grant management system.

    For example: Testing whether grantee reporting language is evidence-linked before it reaches portfolio review. That can be a CIIS pilot; it does not replace your grant operations system.

  • 05

    Evaluation and strategy teams

    If you need sources inspectable alongside conclusions, IIL can support synthesis while your professional judgement stays central. CIIS is one way to keep those sources and limits attached when findings move to executive sign-off.

    For example: When findings need to travel with sources attached, CIIS can structure a bounded set of outcome statements with inspectable evidence, especially before executive sign-off for external use.

Good to know

  • CIIS is available through facilitated pilots, not self-serve sign-up.
  • Grant reporting can be in scope; we don't provide a full grant management system.

Often a weaker fit

  • Single-lens reporting with no scrutiny on evidence support
  • Real-time operational control rooms (not the core design centre)
  • Very small programmes with no multi-stakeholder reporting pressure

We'll work with you to see whether evaluation, synthesis, reporting support, or a CIIS pilot is the right next step — before you spend procurement time.
