Research question
Non-profits collect data in spreadsheets but rarely have the time or skills to turn it into reports that funders and volunteers understand.
Approach
A guided workflow maps existing spreadsheets onto a small set of impact indicators and produces printable and shareable dashboards.
Key features
- Import from the spreadsheets organisations already keep
- Templates for common impact indicators
- Reports that print cleanly and share as a link
Evaluation
Usability sessions with three organisations measured how long it took to produce a first report.
