Impact data collection

Select indicators from the IRIS+ and HIPSO catalogues — or your own — and collect them from investees on a schedule. Responses land as a time series per company, so the portfolio view builds itself over the holding period.

Portfolio & LP reporting

Define a report once — the sections, the frameworks, the companies in scope — and generate it across the portfolio. Coverage is shown up front, so you know what is evidenced and what is still outstanding before the report goes out.

Frameworks

The frameworks your LPs ask about

Assessment runs against the standard your mandate uses — with requirements weighted to the company's sector, not a flat checklist.

IFC Performance Standards

PS1–PS8, with materiality resolved per sector so a fintech and a mining company aren't held to the same expectations.

2X Criteria

Gender-lens qualification assessed and documented against the 2024 criteria, with the evidence attached.

IMP five dimensions

What, who, how much, contribution and risk — scored per deal and traceable back to source.

IRIS+ & HIPSO indicators

The standard indicator catalogues sit behind KPI selection, so the metrics you collect are the ones LPs recognise.

Your own framework

Bring your taxonomy, requirements and scoring rubric. Proprietary frameworks run through the same engine as the standards.

Exclusion lists

Screen against your fund's exclusion list early, so ineligible deals are caught before diligence effort is spent.
