Arbiter
Where impact is witnessed, not claimed.

Agentic NGO impact verification platform. Arbiter closes the beneficiary feedback loop via SMS/USSD — no smartphone required — using a Three-Party Witness Architecture trusted by implementers, donors, and beneficiaries alike.

The Problem

The beneficiary voice is missing from every M&E system in the sector.

NGO reporting chains run from field officer to program manager to donor. Beneficiaries — the people the programs are actually for — are never asked to confirm what they received. Arbiter closes that loop.

Beneficiary Loop Never Closes

Implementers report outputs. Donors receive reports. Beneficiaries are never asked. Every M&E system in the sector leaves the most important voice out of the verification chain.

Smartphone-Dependent Tools Exclude Most

Existing digital M&E platforms require a smartphone and reliable data connectivity. In the communities NGOs serve most, neither can be assumed — so the data stays thin.

One Failed Audit Costs More Than Years of Prevention

A single donor audit finding — misreported beneficiary count, undocumented outcome — can cost 10–100× the annual cost of a proper verification system. Prevention is the ROI.

IATI Compliance Is Manual and Error-Prone

IATI publishing requirements demand structured, traceable, timely data. Most NGOs produce it manually from spreadsheets — late, incomplete, and disconnected from the field.

The Platform

Three-Party Witness Architecture.

Every verification event in Arbiter is witnessed by all three parties — implementer, donor, and beneficiary. The chain is cryptographically linked, timestamped, and IATI-ready. No competitor closes the beneficiary loop without a smartphone. Arbiter does it over SMS.

ReportAgent

AI agent that structures field data into donor-ready reports. Ingests activity logs, computes KPIs, flags anomalies, and publishes a versioned, traceable output.

Witness Layer

SMS/USSD beneficiary attestation — no smartphone required. Beneficiaries confirm services received via a structured SMS flow. Responses are hashed, timestamped, and linked to the program record.

Grant Engine

Manages grant lifecycle from application through close-out. Budget tracking, milestone verification, and variance flagging — connected to the same data the Witness Layer produces.

Field Operations

Geofenced activity logging, site visit verification, and offline-capable data capture for field officers. Syncs to the central record when connectivity returns.

IATI Publisher

Automated IATI 2.03-compliant XML generation from Arbiter activity records. One-click publish to the IATI Registry — no manual spreadsheet assembly required.

Donor Network Tier

One mandate from a foundation flows verification requirements to all grantees. Donors see a live dashboard across their portfolio; grantees get simplified compliance by default.
