Impact Management Agent
Make impact management
part of how you work
From impact strategy and measurement to monitoring and reporting, impactlake™ brings your data, assessment methods and teams into one connected IMM workflow.
ISSUES
From impact reporting to ongoing impact management
Organizations need more than standalone impact reports. They need connected evidence, consistent metrics and workflows that help teams learn and act throughout the year.
Reference indicators, statistics, evaluation approaches and results are managed separately and are hard to reuse.
Models and KPIs developed for a report rarely feed the next round of analysis and improvement.
IMM may run separately from business operations, investment decisions and stakeholder dialogue.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Getting started
What is impact measurement and management (IMM)?
IMM is a continuous process of planning, measuring and evaluating the social and environmental changes created by businesses and investments, and using the findings for improvement and decisions. It extends beyond producing logic models and reports.
What can I do with impactlake™?
Use core IMM capabilities—from issue analysis, logic models and KPIs to calculation design, impact assessment, performance management and reporting—in a connected process. See core capabilities
Can I use it without extensive IMM experience?
Start with existing materials, templates and reference data. We can also discuss initial design and operational support for organization-wide adoption. See plans and implementation
We already have logic models and KPIs. Do we have to start from scratch?
No. Existing outputs can be reviewed, updated and linked to KPIs, calculations and performance data. Import options depend on the data format. Explore Core IMM capabilities
Can I use it when we have limited performance data?
Yes. Early on, you can document impact hypotheses, indicators, measurement plans and assumptions for estimates. As data accumulates, use it to evaluate and update your assessment.
Indicators, data and evaluation
Can you help select KPIs and impact indicators?
Use indicator frameworks such as IRIS+, public statistics and reference cases to identify appropriate measures and methods. Their final suitability must be evaluated in the context of the business. Explore the data foundation
Can we use spreadsheets, external data and survey results?
There are ways to use spreadsheets, public statistics and survey data in IMM. Available survey and integration features depend on the plan and environment. Explore integration capabilities
Can assessment results support continuous management and improvement?
Logic models, KPIs, targets, actuals and assessment assumptions can be connected and reused for annual updates, monitoring, review and reporting. About impactlake™
Can we report to investors and other stakeholders?
Managed information can be used in reports and web disclosures. Sharing, exchange and access controls depend on the organization and its operating environment. Explore the data foundation
AI and organizational use
How can we use impactlake™ from ChatGPT or Claude?
AI and MCP access initially support reference to IMM knowledge and methods. Available operations and connection requirements vary by AI service and available features. Explore AI and MCP
Can we use AI-generated logic models and assessments as they are?
AI suggestions are useful starting points, but their fit with the business, evidence, assumptions and appropriate review and approval must be checked. impactlake™ provides capabilities for managing these elements continuously. See AI integration
Can VCs, financial institutions and large enterprises use it in their workflows?
Yes. Workflow modules and custom designs build on shared IMM capabilities to support investment and lending, portfolio management and business operations. Explore solutions by user
Can it integrate with Salesforce and investment management systems?
API and file-based integrations can be designed for existing systems. This does not imply a built-in connector for every service; custom integration may be required. Explore enterprise adoption
How do we get started and receive implementation support?
Start by reviewing your target business, assessment objectives and existing materials and data. Enterprise adoption can also include an IMM process review and design of workflows and AI usage. See plans and implementation
