The Fornix
M&E Engine
Monitoring & Evaluation shouldn't just be a retrospective scramble before a board meeting. It should turn gut feeling into evidence. We replace paper forms and messy spreadsheets with an automated pipeline that captures clinical-grade field data directly via WhatsApp.
Three Dimensions of Evaluation
Clinical Progression (The Result)
Moving beyond 'numbers reached' to 'lives changed.' We calculate the Reliable Change Index (RCI) to prove participant progress beyond normal measurement error. We want to know if the change was large enough to actually matter in someone's real life.
Programme Fidelity (The Blueprint)
We measure whether the programme was delivered as it was designed to be delivered. We send automated WhatsApp checklists to your facilitators post-session to track attendance, dosage, and flag where delivery gaps exist.
Efficiency & CPCIP (The Engine)
We calculate the metric funders are increasingly asking for: the Cost Per Clinically Improved Participant (CPCIP). This tells you exactly how much operational money it costs to produce one measurably improved human life.
See It In Action
Zero administrative friction.
Watch our AI Tech Lead, Darien, walk through exactly how the Fornix Engine turns messy, grassroots community data into funder-ready clinical evidence—without making your team fill out a single complex spreadsheet.
- Participants respond in their home languages via WhatsApp voice note.
- No app downloads, no forced literacy barriers, and no expensive consultants.
- Data is processed computationally to eliminate bias and produce the clinical math.
The Fornix Score
& The Funder Pool
The Standard For Measurement
The Fornix Score is a definitive 0-100 metric representing the total operational and clinical health of a programme. By using a set group of culturally adapted tools, we allow for fair, apples-to-apples comparisons across the social sector.
Unlocking the Funder Pool
Programmes are scored across Clinical Impact, Fidelity, Efficiency, Reach, and Sustainability. Programmes that complete the full evaluation process become eligible for the Fornix Funder Pool—a curated network of institutional investors who use our Scorecard to make direct funding decisions.

Use Cases
Who uses the M&E Engine?
Mental Health NPOs
The Problem
"We run group trauma therapy. We collect PHQ-9 forms at intake and exit, but no one ever analyses them."
The Fornix Fix
We take your existing data, calculate the clinical progression, and produce a scorecard proving exactly what changed and by how much.
HIV/AIDS Service Organisations
The Problem
"Our donors want outcome data, but we only have attendance registers and paper notes."
The Fornix Fix
We work with what you have. We add our WhatsApp data collection layer so you can hear directly from the community you serve, in their own language.
Impact Investors & CSI Funds
The Problem
"We fund 12 different NPOs. We need standardised impact evidence, but each one measures differently."
The Fornix Fix
We run surveys across all 12 partners and their beneficiaries, normalise the data, and load it into a private comparative portfolio dashboard.
