HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN
EVIDENCE STRATEGY
AI FOR SOCIAL IMPACT
Organizations leading social change—nonprofits, public health agencies, funders and philanthropies, advoacy organizations—face growing demands with limited resources. AI can help, but if adopted carelessly, it can also introduce bias, erode community trust, and pull organizations away from the human-centered approaches that make their work matter in the first place.
Effective AI strategy starts with where you are today. We assess organizational readiness across the dimensions that matter most: relationships, trust, culture, and data. Then we help you build an AI strategy from that foundation outward, supporting your people, programs, and mission.
If your program doesn’t have an evaluation team on staff, we can help. you don’t need months of analysis or specialized expertise. We give you ongoing insight into what’s working, backed by real research methodology.
Many nonprofits collect surveys, attendance logs, and service metrics but lack the time or expertise to turn that data into actionable insights. As a result, promising strategies may go unnoticed, and ineffective approaches may continue unchecked.
Outcome Radar, built by Three Flights is an AI-assisted evaluation tool that analyzes the data you’re already collecting and produces clear, funder-ready reports. An evaluation expert guides you through the findings, so it’s not just about priving your programs results—it helps your team learn from your data over time. You’ll understand not only whether your program works, but for whom, under what conditions, and how to improve it.
The nonprofits that make the most of evidence aren’t the ones with the biggest budgets. They’re the ones that regularly review their data and turn insights into action. Outcome Radar makes that process simple and ongoing.
Three Flights works with nonprofits, philanthropies, government agencies, and mission-driven organizations to build the evidence infrastructure and organizational capacity they need to do their work better. We bring rigorous methodology, human-centered design, and practical AI expertise to the problems that matter—helping organizations understand what's working, make smarter decisions, and build the internal capacity to sustain their impact over time.
We design and lead rigorous evaluations that go beyond counting outputs to understanding how and why change happens — and for whom. From randomized controlled trials to developmental evaluation, we match methodology to context and translate findings into something organizations can actually use.
We help funders and organizations decide what to measure, build the systems to capture it, and translate findings into decisions that leadership and grantmakers can act on. Good evidence strategy starts before the data is collected—and stays useful long after the report is filed.
