Our approach to AI​

AI that supports human expertise.

Securely, responsibly and transparently.

Hivve combines specialist impact expertise and purpose-built technology with responsible AI to help organisations develop evidence-informed impact reports and build a more structured understanding of their impact.

 

Explore what makes our approach different, how we protect information and the assurance available for your internal review.

 

Human oversight

People review, verify and approve AI-assisted outputs.

Protected information

Access controls, encryption and approved processing environments.

Responsible AI governance

AI use and providers are assessed and reviewed as they evolve.

Our purpose

Making impact visible. Enabling more good.

Impact information is often scattered across documents, spreadsheets and systems, making it time-consuming to assemble, interpret and report consistently. AI creates an opportunity to reduce this burden and make specialist impact reporting more accessible.


At Hivve, we use AI to support people in working with their evidence, identifying gaps and developing clearer accounts of change. Combined with a structured approach to impact, this can support better-informed decisions about where to focus effort and resources.

01

Impact made visible

Meaningful work becomes clear, credible evidence of change.

02

Better-informed decisions

Funders and organisations understand what works and where support is needed.

03

Resources directed to impact

Funding and support reach the people, projects and ideas making a difference.

04 The Outcome

More positive impact happens

Successful initiatives grow, creating more impact to capture, learn from and build upon.

Our difference

More than AI. Built on impact expertise.

General-purpose AI tools can help analyse information and draft reports. Hivve brings something additional: specialist impact expertise, established methodologies, a purpose-built impact taxonomy and technology designed around the workflows of impact evidence and reporting.

Developed through years of work with research institutions, funders and impact organisations, our approach provides a structured foundation for working with impact evidence, developing high quality reports in minutes rather than days, and supporting consistency across teams.

Organisations can build on this specialist capability alongside their existing AI investments, without needing to design and maintain the full methodology and reporting workflow themselves.
