Everything here is designed to make the next step obvious once you've found real value in the last one. Start free. Go deeper only if it's worth it.
Your team, your leadership, and anyone else close to the work each answer eighteen short questions. The comparison between what they say is often the most useful finding of all.
No cost. No account needed. Takes about 15 minutes.
The diagnostic on its own is a genuinely useful, standalone picture. Some organizations stop there. Others use it as the starting point for deeper, structured support. Both are legitimate; this is simply what's available if you want to go further.
The foundation-setting step for any deeper engagement: a review of your actual MEL documentation, a structured team self-assessment rating where you are today against where you need to be across the core disciplines of a high-performing team, a facilitated group session, and structured interviews with people the self-serve diagnostic alone won't reach, senior stakeholders, funders, or those who've since moved on. This is also where we contract together, agreeing what a deeper engagement would actually need to address. If a Full Engagement makes sense afterward, Extended Inquiry is what defines its coaching agenda and recommended duration, not a separate sales step, but the real starting point of the work.
A single, focused facilitated session with your leadership and program teams together, working through the findings directly and building a shared, jointly owned action plan. Not a presentation, a working session.
Full Engagement is where the relationship itself gets rebuilt, from data sharing and communication into real engagement, where data is co-created and acted on together. Not a one-time fix, but a structured process worked through with your leadership, your M&E team, and your program managers, and where relevant, the wider stakeholders they both depend on. It opens with a full 360-degree, multi-stakeholder assessment, then combines certified team coaching practice with structured critical thinking tools, pressure-testing assumptions, surfacing what's really driving the gaps, and building genuine, shared ownership of the way forward. Scope and duration, typically 3, 6, or 12 months, are set during Extended Inquiry, not guessed at upfront.
None of this is required. Every engagement beyond the free diagnostic starts with a direct conversation, not a contract, so we can find out together whether it's the right next step.
Nonprofits and INGOs scaling their monitoring and evaluation function without unlimited budget to do it.
M&E and program teams who feel the disconnect between data collected and decisions made, but haven't had language to name it.
Multi-country or multi-office organizations where MEL practice looks different from one team to the next.
Foundations and funders wanting a light, respectful way to understand MEL capacity across a grantee portfolio.
Yes. The diagnostic and your organization's report cost nothing. There's no account, no credit card, no follow-up obligation.
Responses are used only to generate your organization's report. They aren't sold, shared, or used for anything beyond producing the findings you receive.
Ideally 3–5 people across different roles, leadership, program staff, and your M&E team, since the comparison between groups is often the most useful part of the findings.
Some organizations just want the picture. Others want support closing what it finds, see the tiers above. Both are fine, the report stands on its own either way.
Answer eighteen short questions about how your organization actually uses data today. You'll get a scored, organization-specific report you can act on immediately.
