Organisations often rely on spreadsheets, disconnected frameworks and manual reporting processes that consume significant resources while making comparisons between projects difficult. This lack of standardisation reduces confidence in reported outcomes and makes evidence-based funding and commissioning decisions harder.", "audience": "Social enterprises, charities, VCSE organisations, local authorities, Combined Authorities, NHS organisations, housing associations, grant makers, philanthropic foundations, commissioners, impact investors and social value consultants.", "evidence_summary": "The Social Value 2032 reports repeatedly identify inconsistent approaches to measuring social value across public sector procurement and service delivery. Kindred Liverpool City Region highlights the importance of demonstrating community impact across the regional social economy. Good Finance and the Commission on Social Investment identify credible impact evidence as a key requirement for attracting investment and securing funding. APPG reports and wider government policy increasingly reinforce the importance of transparent impact reporting, suggesting sustained demand for improved measurement infrastructure.", "demand_signal": "Very Strong. Impact measurement requirements continue to expand across public procurement, grant funding, investment and commissioning. Organisations increasingly require credible evidence to demonstrate outcomes and secure future funding.", "competition_signal": "Moderate. Specialist impact measurement consultancies and reporting software exist but are often expensive, sector-specific or focused on compliance rather than continuous intelligence. There is no clear market leader providing integrated AI-driven impact intelligence across the UK's social economy ecosystem.", "suggested_solution": "Cloud-based impact measurement and audit platform that automatically collects evidence, measures outcomes against recognised frameworks, benchmarks organisational performance and generates audit-ready reports for funders, commissioners and investors.", "monetisation_angle": "£69/month Standard • £199/month Professional • £699/month Enterprise • Bespoke pricing for public sector organisations and infrastructure bodies.", "underserved_score": 90, "score_rationale": "Independent evidence consistently identifies poor impact measurement as a national challenge affecting procurement, commissioning, funding and investment decisions. Demand is reinforced across multiple sectors rather than relying on a single policy initiative. Customers are well-defined, recurring subscription revenue is realistic and current competition remains fragmented between consultants and specialist software providers.", "score_scale": { "min": 0,
