Your team did the work in the field. The proof should be there when funders ask — not invented from memory the week the report is due.
Two weeks before the report is due, your coordinator starts the rounds. WhatsApp groups get scrolled. Field staff get interviewed about events from three months ago. Photos get hunted for, often unsuccessfully. The narrative gets stitched together from what people remember — which is rarely the same as what happened.
This is how most M&E gets done. It's also why field audits go badly, why renewal conversations get awkward, and why the gap between the work you do and the evidence you can produce keeps widening every quarter.
One change — the moment evidence gets recorded — changes everything downstream. Including whether your team will actually use the tool at all, which is the failure mode every M&E system hits.
Multiply this across your team, across your locations, across your weeks — and you have something most organizations have never had: a continuous, photographic, timestamped record of what actually happened in the field.
Every observation timestamped, GPS-tagged, attributable. Photos of equipment, voice notes from sessions, attendance records, incident reports — captured as they happen and stitched into a chronological record. When a donor asks “what did your team do last Tuesday?”, the answer exists. When an auditor asks for proof, the proof is there.
The equipment your donor paid for — vests, helmets, sensors, kits, generators — finally has a record. Where it is. Who has it. What condition it's in. How it moved between sites and how it's wearing over time. The grant compliance question every program faces (“we bought 50 of these for the program — where are they now?”) becomes answerable in seconds, not weeks.
Search across everything your team captured — by location, by person, by topic, by time. “Show me every incident at the Polyana site this quarter.” “Find every photo of damaged equipment from January.” The donor report stops being a writing project from memory and becomes a query against accumulated evidence.
BuhurtSich runs veteran rehabilitation across three locations in Ukraine. Their method is medieval combat — bohurt — used as physical and psychological therapy for combat veterans returning from the front. Fifteen staff. Fifty veterans in active recovery.
Their team uses IPerform daily. Coaches capture observations after each session: a voice note about a veteran's breakthrough, photos of damaged armor, GPS-tagged attendance, notes about a colleague covering a shift during a family emergency. The work happens. The evidence accumulates alongside it.
When a foundation asks “does this actually work?”, the answer is no longer a Word document written under pressure. It's the evidence itself — searchable, photographic, timestamped, undeniable.
Organizations working with sensitive populations — veterans, abuse survivors, refugees, dissidents — often can't legally use third-party SaaS. Donor agreements may mandate self-hosting. GDPR creates real liability for cloud-hosted personal data. And the populations themselves bear the risk if data leaks.
IPerform runs entirely on your own infrastructure. Your AWS account, your data, your AI. We never see it. We never store it. It can't be subpoenaed from us, sold by us, or breached through us. Your evidence is yours alone — which is the only form of evidence donors of sensitive programs are willing to fund.
Your AWS account. Your data. Unlimited team members. No per-seat fees, no tiers, no surprises. Charitable pricing available on request for organizations whose work makes it appropriate.
A note on fit. IPerform runs on AWS. We don't support other clouds — not because we can't, but because focus is how we maintain quality. We work with a limited number of organizations at a time and may decline inquiries without explanation. If you're running a foundation- or government-funded program and your next report depends on evidence you don't currently have, we'd like to hear from you.
Your team is already doing the work. We make sure the evidence is there when funders ask.
