  • 01Stronger visibility from resources and activities to reported outcomes
  • 02Clear governance across funders, implementers, institutions and oversight teams
  • 03Better evidence for programme decisions, assurance and stakeholder reporting

The exact outcomes, criteria and evidence expectations are agreed during scoping.

A focused first conversation

Start where consequence and uncertainty meet.

A useful scope begins with the decision at stake, the evidence already available and the forum that will act on the answer.

    What changed?

    The event, obligation, programme or exposure behind the mandate.

  2. 02

    What matters?

    The decision, consequence and level of confidence leadership requires.

  3. 03

    What exists?

    The people, systems, records and prior work available as evidence.
