Make measurement useful to the decisions your nonprofit has to make.
Field helps executive and program leaders determine what they can responsibly say about their results, identify the questions that remain open, and build a measurement approach their team can actually sustain.
For a grant renewal, board question, program redesign, or strategy decision.
Reporting and decision-making rarely ask the same questions.
Your team may spend substantial time collecting program data and preparing grant reports. But those materials are rarely designed to tell leaders whether to expand a program, redesign it, or make a stronger case for it.
Field establishes what the current information supports, where the important gaps are, and the smallest useful measurement effort that will strengthen the next decision.
Field is most useful when an important decision has outrun your measurement.
- 01
A renewal or major proposal depends on claims the current measurement cannot yet support.
- 02
Leadership must decide whether to continue, expand, or redesign a program.
- 03
Reporting absorbs staff time but leaves program leaders without a clearer direction.
- 04
A growing program can no longer rely mainly on staff knowledge and case-by-case learning.
Leave with a decision you can make—and measurement your team can keep using.
Make the decision in front of you
01Frame the decision
Define the choice leaders must make and what they need to know to make it.
02Set the claim boundary
Determine which conclusions the current information can responsibly support—and which it cannot.
03Test the program logic
Compare the program’s assumptions with staff knowledge, program data, and relevant research.
04Prepare the case
Give leaders clear conclusions, limitations, and source traceability for board and funder conversations.
Strengthen the next decision
05Close the consequential gap
Collect only the information that could materially change the next program decision.
06Build measurement into the work
Put a maintainable approach in place that fits how the program and team operate.
The next decision begins with stronger measurement already in place.
Strengthen measurement without rebuilding your nonprofit around it.
Field scopes the work around the decision, the program as it actually operates, and the capacity the team can sustain.
Prova’s AI systems make broad review possible across program materials and relevant research. A senior Field principal tests the analysis, applies context, and remains responsible for every conclusion.
