Impact assessment for organizations

Measure what a programme actually changed.

Athar turns an impact question into a structured assessment: name what you are measuring and what it landed on, collect scores from the people who can judge it, moderate them against evidence, and produce a report you can defend in front of a board.

One assessment, one frame

Every assessment answers a single question: what impact did X have on Y? You write both in your own words, and they appear inside every question the respondent reads. Reverse them later to measure the other direction.

Your structure

Define your own dimensions, lenses, questions, weights and rating bands — or adapt one from the library. Author in Excel, import, publish. A published version is frozen, so last year's numbers still mean what they meant.

The right people

A private link per respondent, one open anonymous link, or a facilitated workshop where a panel agrees each score together. Group results stay hidden below a minimum size, so nobody can be identified.

Evidence, not just opinion

Attach evidence and moderate any score, with the reason recorded. The report shows the respondent score and the moderated one side by side, so the adjustment is part of the argument rather than hidden in it.

How it works

A guided seven-step process. Nothing is lost between steps, and you can come back to any of them.

A more positive tomorrow leaves an athar.

أثر — the trace something leaves behind. Not the activity, not the output, but what remains in an organization once the programme has gone quiet.

Built for the work, not the demo

The parts that decide whether a number survives its first serious question.

Defensible numbers

Weighted dimension and lens scoring, a 0–100 index, and agreement levels that show where respondents disagree — because a mean of 3.4 from a split room means something different from a mean of 3.4 from a united one.

Reports in your client's colours

A Word report carrying the organization's palette and logo, charts, the narrative for each score band, your moderation notes and prioritized recommendations. Excel for the underlying data.

Arabic and English

Respondents answer in Arabic with full right-to-left layout or in English, on a phone or a laptop, from a single link. The questions carry your subject and target in both languages.

Your clients, kept apart

Each client organization has its own profile, branding and history. Client users see only their own organization; consultants see the portfolio.
