The M&E Engine
Removing the distance between communities and champions.
Accessibility like never before.
Making sure every rand makes sense.
No one left out: Financial • Physical • Cultural
Our automated pipeline for clinical-grade field data. Collect feedback across sites, give your team live visibility, and generate funder-ready reports without manual spreadsheets.
Custom Data Collection
You deploy your survey. We collect the data. We give you the report.
Replace paper forms, manual data entry, and messy spreadsheets with an automated collection system. Whether you need to measure community economic indicators, programme satisfaction, or service uptake, we configure our WhatsApp system around your exact questions. This product works for any survey you need, allowing you to gather organised data easily.
Voice-First & Multilingual
Respondents answer via WhatsApp text or voice note in their own language. This increases accessibility for community members who have disabilities, aren't literate, or don't speak English.
Fast Turnaround
Your live dashboard goes online within 24 hours of closing your survey, allowing your team to monitor response rates.
Funder-Ready Outputs
Within 48 hours, you receive a 2-page summary report designed specifically to be shared with donors and boards.

Progression Tracking
You ran a programme. You have data. We prove it worked - in language funders understand.
Designed for the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of health and psychosocial programmes. If you collect data before and after your programme but lack the team to analyse it, this is for you. You provide your existing data, and we run it through our evaluation system to produce credible evidence for funders.
Clinical Progression
We calculate the Reliable Change Index (RCI) to see if a participant's score truly changed beyond normal measurement errors, and measure the average 'effect size' across the group.
Fidelity & Efficiency
We measure Fidelity (was the programme delivered as designed?) and Efficiency (practical, operational utility) by asking your beneficiaries directly via WhatsApp text and voice notes.

Fornix Score
The standard for community measurement - benchmarked and built to unlock the Funder Pool.
The Fornix Score is a standard measurement system for community mental health programmes. By using a set group of culturally adapted tools, we allow for fair comparisons across the sector. For the first time, funders can directly compare the impact of different programmes using the exact same metrics.
Five Areas of Evaluation
Programmes are scored across Clinical Impact (40%), Fidelity (20%), Efficiency (20%), Reach & Equity (15%), and Sustainability (5%).
The Funder Pool
Programmes that complete the full Scorecard process become eligible for the Fornix Funder Pool - a curated network of investors who use our Scorecard to make funding decisions.

The Fornix Difference
We Don't Just
Track Impact.
We Engineer It.
Computational Psychometrics
Traditional Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) is retrospective - it tells you what happened too late. Fornix uses Statistical Machine Learning (SML) and Computational Psychometrics to tell you what is working now, why it works, and how to scale it efficiently.
Instead of relying on retrospective manual surveys, our AI Infrastructure ingests real-time data directly from the people, where public benefit programs operate. By applying dimensionality reduction and Item Response Theory (IRT), we drastically reduce testing time and increase the diversity of people we can cater to. We identify the specific, high-impact variables that drive true community development.
This means true accessibility: we can include people who cannot read, increase access for disabled community members, and cater to grannies and kids who express themselves best in their home languages - be it IsiZulu, Tshivenda, Sesotho, Afrikaans, or any other language!
Three Dimensions of Evaluation
Our M&E Engine evaluates your project across three dimensions.
Fidelity
The BlueprintMeasuring how closely your goal, dream or mission for a community lives up to its reality. Are you helping people where you really wanted to?
Impact
The ResultMoving beyond 'numbers reached' to 'lives changed.' We use Mixed-Effects Models to quantify community growth, reducing having to prove for yourself to donors.
Efficiency
The EngineAn analysis of your organizational health, ensuring your operational models are lean, scalable, audit-ready, and build community development from the ground up.
