One problem with impact reporting is counting activity and presenting that as results. For instance, ‘2,000 people attended’ is an outcome. Finding out if those individuals were different after six months is impact reporting, and it’s a lot more work.
We write from your monitoring data, case records and interviews, and we will tell you where the evidence supports a claim and where it only supports a story.
Donors and trustees have developed a keen eye for identifying inflated impact largely due to reporting of impacts that are overstated. The unglamorous research needed to build credibility in reports involves things such as follow-up data, whether the same individual was counted twice and what, if anything, the comparison is supposed to show.
Where AI falls down on impact reports
Reports of funded activities often describe the impacts in general, unsubstantiated terms such as transformational change, empowered participants, enduring outcomes. Funders read these reports and encounter no verifiable data or methods behind the numbers. In the absence of supporting data funders make assumptions based on the reports communicate.
How We Research and Structure No-AI Impact Reports
Your outcomes framework shows what data can provide what claims. Case studies are drawn from real data and your consent has been checked first, and the writer will want to know what happened to those whose outcomes were negative.
Presenting Findings in No-AI Impact Reports
Separating numbers and narratives also demonstrates what they are good at, rather than trying to make both look good at the same time. Every significant number has an explanation to show the calculation in the footnote. Identical language is used to comment on successes and underperformance when a section performs poorly.
What impact reports cost
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.

Questions About No-AI Impact Reports
As detailed as the brief and the word count allow. Because you pay by the word rather than by tier, depth is a decision you make rather than a package you upgrade to. Tell the writer what the reader already knows and they will pitch it there.
Yes. Send the template, a previous example, or the structure you are required to use, and the writer works inside it. If a required section does not fit the material honestly, they will flag it rather than pad it out.
Yes, this is often required. As long as the report explains this, details can be altered or composites can be used. Consent for each story must be recorded, and the writer will confirm this before each case study is added.

Not a single number was inflated
We cater toward detailed donors. Our writer double-checked a participation figure that looked high, and we found that we double counted a cohort. The corrected number with a report footnote explaining how we found the error was sent out. The footnote we included helped us gain more trust than putting out a good number would have.

Our trustees stopped rewriting the summary
For the first time, the board didn’t edit the executive summary. It was written based on our original survey data, and included the finding we buried on page nine, that participation was flat, but retention had doubled.

Good report, chart labels messed up
The narrative was strong, and the board approved of it without any changes or comments. Two chart captions had the wrong year, and while I can say I caught it, I shouldn’t have to. They fixed it within an hour of me pointing it out. The rest of the report was in good order.
