ImpactMapper integrates with Trint to Expedite Impact Reporting and Analysis of Interviews and Reports

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, March 14, 2024

“ImpactMapper is the only impact reporting tool on the market that takes qualitative data seriously. This is incredibly important as groups all over the world are making critical social justice, equity, and environmental changes that affect rights, policies, and norms. The changes and impact they are making come to life when they are contextualized and deeper examples and stories of changes are shared. As such, we often recommend to the foundations and donors that we work with to move to oral reporting formats to better track this type of impact and to decrease the reporting burden on their partners. We also underscore the importance of qualitative data, such as interviews and focus groups, for landscaping, context, and outcome analysis. In this effort to move to trust-based reporting practices in philanthropy, transcription tools like Trint are often used. The integration with ImpactMapper strengthens trust-based reporting practices in philanthropy and gives a concrete set of tools to make this happen. The integration also supports ImpactMapper in opening up to other markets, such as journalists, companies, UX experts, and other users of Trint software that are interested in tagging their audio and video transcripts thematically, aggregating trends, and visualizing data trends across a set of stories, interviews or clients.” -- Alexandra Pittman, PhD, Founder and CEO, ImpactMapper  

Key Points: 
  • After users record an interview, focus group, or grantee reporting session in Trint, they can automatically import Trint transcripts into ImpactMapper for deeper analysis and visualization.
  • This real-time integration saves users valuable time, ensures they always have access to the newest reports and interviews and helps to ensure that transcripts are analyzed and used for impact reporting.
  • ImpactMapper has robust qualitative text analysis tools, in addition to financial and quantitative analysis and a survey tool, creating an all-in-one flexible data analysis, visualization, and impact reporting solution for users.
  • A set of equitable AI and autocoding tools is also being developed in 2024 to make impact reporting even more efficient through the ImpactMapper software.
