01 / Scope
Understand the project
We agree the project boundary, who benefits, what changed and which funding or reporting decision the evidence must support.
Royaviators / Impact Baseline
Know what you can prove. Show why it matters.
You are doing meaningful work. We help turn the information you already have into a measurable project baseline, a clear view of the evidence and reporting material a funder can understand.
Designed for small teams, research pilots and project operators that do not have a dedicated impact measurement team.

Outcome still to assess
What cannot yet be claimed
A practical process, from project files to useful evidence.
We do the structuring and analysis with you. Your team keeps ownership of its data, reviews the interpretation and knows what can — and cannot — be reported.
02 / Plan
Define what to measure
We map activities, outputs and outcomes; then document indicators, units, baselines, targets, time periods and responsible people.
03 / Collect
Organise existing evidence
We gather field records, spreadsheets, photos, research and other sources. Missing information is recorded rather than guessed.
04 / Assure
Check what the data supports
We inspect sources, dates, methods and limitations, and distinguish project statements from evidence reviewed or independently verified.
05 / Share
Make the baseline usable
You receive an indicator register, evidence inventory, visual baseline and a clear summary for project decisions and funder conversations.
What you receive
The baseline is a defined piece of work with concrete deliverables, not a promise of a generic impact score.
Project & outcomes map
A clear link from activities to intended results, with boundaries and assumptions.
Indicator register
Definitions, units, baseline values, targets, measurement dates and sources.
Evidence & gaps register
What has been supplied, what has been checked and what still needs evidence.
Impact baseline dashboard
A practical, repeatable view of where the project stands — not an unsupported impact score.
Funder-ready evidence summary
A shareable PDF describing the findings, data quality, limitations and next measurements.
A number is not proof on its own.
Our work distinguishes activities and outputs from outcomes, records every source and makes unsupported claims visible. A source review is not independent impact verification.
Submitted by project
A statement or measurement provided by the delivery team.
Source assessed
Supporting material examined for traceability, consistency and limitations.
Independent verification
A separate formal assessment by a qualified independent party, when required.
One method. Different project settings.
Community & education
Training initiatives, local programmes and projects that support participation and skills.
Travel & communities
Visitor initiatives, local participation and community-led tourism.
Aviation & innovation
Operational improvements, pilots and research programmes with measurable outcomes.
Indicators and methods are selected for each project's actual activities, available evidence and reporting requirements.
Questions before starting
Do we need perfect data to begin?+
No. A baseline makes the quality and gaps of the existing evidence explicit. We never fill missing measurements with invented results.
Do you certify our impact?+
No. A Royaviators assessment organises and critically reviews evidence. Formal independent verification, assurance or certification is a separate engagement with a qualified third party.
Do you help with grant applications?+
We prepare the evidence and reporting material relevant to funding. Grant eligibility, application writing and award decisions are separate from evidence assessment.
Is the sample dashboard a real client result?+
No. The interactive sample uses invented teaching data, clearly labelled as such. A real baseline is based on the documents and measurements of your own project.
Start with evidence you already have.
A short project description, your intended outcomes and any existing records are enough to start a scoping conversation.
