Reporting
Reporting
Reporting the people you answer to actually read
Institutional-grade outcomes reporting for LPs, boards, and investment committees.
Impactable reporting distinguishes company activity from stakeholder outcomes, and shows how those outcomes add up across the portfolio.
What reporting is asked to do
Built for the people you answer to
Institutional readers ultimately want to know: what happened as a result of the capital deployed, and why does it matter?
In practice
From company activity to portfolio performance
Strategy, evidence, outcomes and interpretation, in one coherent institutional narrative.
A completed report moves from a portfolio-wide view into the performance of individual companies, showing both what the portfolio has achieved and how those results were produced. Photography and written interpretation sit alongside the data, so readers understand the scale of the results and the people, companies and systems behind them. The narrative gives the evidence context; the evidence gives the narrative credibility.
The views
Analytical views that build toward a portfolio answer
Each view answers a different question, from what companies did, to what changed, to what those outcomes mean across the portfolio.
Report structure
What every report should answer
Five questions, building from activity to outcomes to portfolio performance.
What did portfolio companies do?
Company activity and operational indicators, structured for interpretation and comparison.
What changed?
Direct and indirect outcomes, connecting activity to first-order stakeholder outcomes and the effects that follow.
How efficiently is impact created?
Impact multiples of revenue and capital, SROI, and ownership-adjusted analytics, showing whether impact grows alongside the business model.
What is happening across the portfolio?
Outcomes aggregated across companies and themes into one coherent view.
How should the story be communicated?
Data and analytics combined with clear interpretation, photography and stories, for LPs, boards, committees and community.
Decisions it informs
