How it works

Four steps to ongoing financial oversight

01

Upload Statements

Upload a PDF of the organization's financial statements — audited, reviewed, compiled, or internal. Enter loan parameters for context.

02

AI Extracts & Computes

AI extracts every line item from the PDF. Eight research-backed financial indicators are computed and scored against social sector industry benchmarks using ML-derived weighting.

03

Get Risk Analysis

Receive a dashboard with composite risk scoring, indicator breakdowns, narrative analysis, discussion prompts, and recommendations.

04

Monitor Over Time

Upload new statements annually or quarterly for the same organization. Track how indicators and composite scores evolve, spot trends early, and measure the impact of capacity-building work.

Research-backed indicators

Eight research-validated health indicators

Grounded in social sector financial best practices and validated through machine learning on hundreds of nationwide financial datasets. Each indicator is scored against industry-wide benchmarks and combined into a composite index predicting the probability of an organization remaining operational over the next 24 months.

Fundraising Efficiency

Cost to raise each dollar of donations

Administrative Expenses

Overhead relative to total expenditure

Days Cash on Hand

Operating runway from liquid reserves

Debt Ratio

Total liabilities relative to total assets

Liquidity Ratio

Ability to meet short-term obligations

Public Support

Breadth and diversity of funding sources

Fiscal Performance

Revenue surplus or deficit over time

Income Independence

Self-generated revenue capacity

Industry benchmarks

Scored against real social sector standards

Every indicator is compared to validated industry benchmarks — some where lower is better (e.g. fundraising costs), others where higher is better (e.g. days cash on hand). Threshold direction is shown on each indicator so results are immediately interpretable.

360° Risk Profile

Visualize strengths and vulnerabilities across all eight dimensions at a glance. The dashed line represents full benchmark achievement.

Composite Index

Complete 360° financial health in a single score

All eight indicators are combined into a Financial Composite Index — a single percentage representing the predicted probability of the organization remaining operational 24 months from now. Risk bands from Low to Critical give funders an immediate signal.

Research & ML-backed. The weighting of each indicator within the composite index was determined by a machine learning model trained on Canada's CRA T3010 charity dataset, supported by established social sector financial research and best practices. The model identifies which financial dimensions are most predictive of long-term organizational sustainability.

More than metrics

Deep narrative analysis, personalized to every loan

Indicators tell part of the story. Each report also includes a full AI-generated narrative risk analysis tailored to the specific loan terms, repayment structure, and organizational context. Debt service capacity, revenue concentration risks, cash flow adequacy relative to the proposed obligation — all assessed and explained in plain language, with pointed questions and concrete next steps for you and your fundee.

Loan-specific risk evaluation

Repayment capacity, debt service coverage, and cash flow adequacy assessed against the actual loan terms you enter.

Organization-specific context

Revenue mix, governance signals, and operational patterns interpreted in the context of the organization’s unique financial profile.

Actionable, not academic

Every insight connects to a recommendation. Questions you can ask, steps you can take together with your fundee.

Longitudinal monitoring

Track indicators over time

Every time you run a new set of financials for an organization, the analysis is stored and plotted over time. Monitor the trajectory of each indicator across fiscal years to spot trends before they become problems.
