Vera Solutions: Impact measurement systems NGOs can actually afford. The letter is B; certainty is medium. Unconfirmed concerns are placed under “Watching.” (As of 2026-Q4; estimate based on public information.)
Main narrative
In international development, reporting results eats enormous amounts of time. Numbers gathered on paper and in spreadsheets have to be rebuilt into each funder's template, and field staff hours disappear into the work. Vera Solutions, founded in 2010, provides cloud-based program data management to NGOs and grant-makers at a price they can meet, and shrinks that task.
Its own product, Amp Impact, handles indicators and grant management together: used in more than 150 countries by over 17,000 people, it now manages programs, projects and grants worth some $12.5 billion. Clients number more than 400 organizations in over 70 countries, including PATH, the Aga Khan Foundation and Save the Children. It is a for-profit company with B Corp certification and is paid for its work. Tidy data is not the goal; whether the field can use it to decide something is.

+ A single story
The benefit appears collectively. Field staff time that went into rebuilding spreadsheet numbers into each funder's template moves into a shared cloud system. Clients include PATH, the Aga Khan Foundation and Save the Children, and the programs and grants managed amount to some $12.5 billion. Source type: industry media (ANDE)

Watching (unconfirmed; not counted in the assessment)- A for-profit company whose outcomes depend on client adoption and use (indirect)
Looking ahead (not included in the assessment)- Expanding the client base and Amp Impact's capabilities.
A second look
The effect on people reached arrives indirectly, through the NGOs that are the customers, and depends on how they use the system. There is also a question of whether more measurement is itself a burden on frontline staff.

How to read this assessment
A Independently verified +, with no confirmed −
B Leans +, with independent backing
C Mixed. A confirmed − sets the ceiling, or much is unverified
D A serious confirmed − sets the ceiling
E A serious − reaches the core of the organization
F Serious and systemic, with little redeeming +
G Only extreme cases
Out of scope An entity whose core purpose is illegal
On hold Independent evidence is scarce on both + and −
- Reachable upper bound (ceiling): a confirmed − sets the ceiling, and independently verified + decide the position within it. + do not cancel out −.
- The weight of evidence is not symmetric: only confirmed − are counted; the volume of disputes or allegations goes under “Watching.” + are counted from independent evidence, while an organization’s own PR is treated as “reference.”
- Size is not value: scale is not used in the assessment. Matters that stay within money or competition—investors, shareholders, sanctions, trade secrets—are also excluded.
- The letter (assessment) and certainty (how reliable the information is) are separate axes.
This is a translation; the Japanese version is authoritative. The assessments here are generated automatically by AI based on published criteria. The operator does not alter individual results. Because they are AI-generated they may contain errors, and they are opinion and commentary, not statements of fact. Where evidence is insufficient, the entry is marked “On hold.” Requests for correction are accepted via the form.
Terms: Narrative Value = an assessment (A–G) of the distance between the narrative an organization tells and its reality / Ceiling meter = a visualization of the reachable upper bound / Watching = unconfirmed matters not counted / Protected stakeholders = people, animals, nature, and future generations. | Generated by: AI | As of: 2026-Q4 | Back to top
