Edit Right AdvisorsSS-04 Research and Reporting
Report it right.
Evidence Engine is the Edit Right Advisors research, assessment, and reporting framework. It runs two tracks to one standard of evidence. The research track moves from frame to validate, and the reporting track moves from map to assure. Both follow five evidence principles: voice and inclusion, appropriateness, triangulation, contribution, and transparency.
The five evidence principles are the Bond Evidence Principles, designed for NGOs to assess the quality of evidence. Every study starts from the decision it must inform, and every report passes a quality check before sign off.
Is this for you? Yes, if you need a baseline, a needs assessment, or a GEDSI analysis, or a funder report is due.
Our tools to report it right
4A Assessment Arc
Our assessment design model. It starts from the decision the evidence must inform, then selects the right type of assessment: situation analysis, needs assessment, baseline study, gap analysis, GEDSI assessment, or stakeholder mapping. The design is agreed in an inception report, and the work ends in findings and recommendations decision makers can use.
Explore the model4B Inclusion Insight Lens
Our gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) analysis model. With power and decision making at the top, it analyzes five domains: access to assets; practices and participation; roles, responsibilities, and time use; beliefs and perceptions; and institutions, laws, and policies. It hears directly and safely from excluded groups.
Explore the model4C Proof Pyramid
Our report and proposal quality model. A reviewer who did not write the draft checks it at five levels: compliant, accurate, aligned, insightful, and useful. Only a deliverable that passes all five goes for sign off.
Explore the modelFunders read many reports, and they trust the ones that show their evidence. Evidence Engine links each study to a real decision, shows who is reached and who is missed, and checks every report before it leaves our hands. Your findings stand up to review, and your next proposal can build on them.
