Evidence infrastructure for development programmes
VoiceInsights turns community and field evidence into traceable, decision-ready institutional intelligence.
What a funder is buying
Not a dashboard. A governed chain from the question, through the instrument and the field, to a publication whose every material statement resolves to the responses behind it.
Why that matters at portfolio level
Grantee self-reports and independent evidence are different objects. This produces the second, in a form that can be compared across programmes and countries because it was collected under one instrument model.
Evaluation and programme performance
| Study type | Status |
|---|---|
| Baseline survey | Proven |
| Midline study | Supported, bounded |
| Endline survey | Supported, bounded |
| Post distribution monitoring | Supported, bounded |
| Programme monitoring | Supported, bounded |
| Evaluation study | Supported, bounded |
| Programme review | Supported, bounded |
Baseline and endline are programme phases, not designs. A baseline is a structured survey run at the start of an intervention; an endline repeats the baseline instrument so the two can be compared. Change is reported descriptively — a value, a later value, and the difference between them.
OECD-DAC evidence positioning
Stated once, the same way, in every document we publish.
| Criterion | What we supply |
|---|---|
| Relevance | Needs assessment and beneficiary evidence against the intervention’s stated purpose. |
| Effectiveness | Baseline-to-endline measurement on one instrument, reported descriptively. |
| Efficiency | Supported where the programme supplies its own cost figures; we do not hold them. |
| Sustainability | Follow-up and panel evidence where the design provides for it. |
| Impact | Not established here. Needs a counterfactual and an identification strategy; the engine implements neither. |
| Coherence | A portfolio judgement rather than a measurement. It sits with the evaluator. |
Multi-country and multilingual collection
One programme across several countries stays one institutional record.
| Collection route | Status |
|---|---|
| Phone Call | Proven |
| Proven | |
| SMS / Feature-Phone Fallback | Proven |
| Web Platform Link | Proven |
| Offline Mobile Application | Proven |

Geographic scope is enforced in authorisation rather than by convention, so a country team sees its own work and a regional office sees the programme. The language a respondent speaks, the language a team works in and the language a report ships in remain three separate decisions.
Data quality, traceability and responsible AI
Traceability
Evidence lineage, human review, versioning, approval, correction and withdrawal apply to released intelligence. A publication that cannot resolve its evidence is refused rather than produced.
Responsible AI
AI may assist transcription, translation, classification, summarisation, thematic coding and drafting. Every contribution is candidate intelligence until a named reviewer accepts, modifies or rejects it. AI does not approve evidence, decide, or authorise publication.
No roster. One record per unit on every collection surface. Member-level rosters — a household enumerated person by person — are held relationally by the platform, and there is no roster control on the
No causal claim. Change is reported descriptively — a value, a later value, and the difference between them. No causal or attribution claim is produced, because the platform implements no identification stra
No media capture. Photographs, GPS points and file attachments are not question types a respondent or enumerator answers. Location is recorded about a submission, not asked as a question.
Bounded logic. Skip logic is one condition on one earlier question — “if they said no, do not ask the follow-ups” — evaluated by the server as well as the device. Multi-condition expressions, arithmetic ac
Donor-ready outputs and engagement
Executive summary, full report, evaluation report, monitoring report, policy brief, donor brief, statistical annex and evidence annex, according to what the evidence base supports. The reference publications on our website are produced from synthetic, internally governed demonstration content and are labelled as such wherever they appear — they are not client work.
