"Is your program at risk of losing funding?" Know your score in 5 minutes.
Most program leaders don't know they're vulnerable until a funder rejects a grant or a board demands "prove ROI." This 20-question diagnostic reveals your exact gaps before crisis hits. You get an Impact Readiness Score (0–100) across five critical domains: Outcome Clarity, Data & Evidence, Logic & Indicators, Stakeholder Readiness, and Systems & Capacity.
Who This Is For
Nonprofit executive directors, CSR/DEI leaders, program managers — anyone who has heard "we need stronger M&E" from funders or boards
🟡 Your Impact Readiness Score (0–100) with risk level: Critical/Moderate/Strong/Excellence
🟡 Section-by-section breakdown across 5 domains — exactly where you're strong and leaking
🟡 Personalized recommendations mapped to your score bracket (not generic advice)
🟡 Curated free resources to fix your specific gaps immediately
🟡 Priority action plan: what to fix first to stop funding loss
What Your Score Means
0–39 Critical Risk — Act now. Grant loss is imminent.
40–69 Moderate Risk — 3–6 month window to strengthen.
70–84 Strong Foundation — Optimize & automate.
85–100 Excellence — Package your methodology.

Turn vague program goals into SMART, funder-ready outcomes in 60 seconds flat.
Most outcomes fail because they describe activities, not change. "We deliver workshops" is not an outcome. "75% of participants gain employment within 90 days" is. This AI tool transforms your vague program descriptions into precise, measurable, funder-auditable outcome statements — complete with the indicators you need to prove them. Powered by Claude AI.
Who This Is For
Anyone writing grant applications, preparing board reports, or building a logic model who struggles to articulate "what changes, for whom, by how much."
Primary SMART outcome statement: who / what changes / how much / when / how measured
Secondary outcome (if your program has multiple goals)
Plain-English explanation of why the statement is now funder-ready
3–5 specific indicators to track and prove that outcome
Downloadable PDF with your outcome + next steps checklist
Before (Typical)
"We help youth build confidence and find jobs"
After (Generator Output)
"75% of youth (ages 16–24) will gain and maintain employment for 90+ days post-program, verified by employer confirmation."
