Social Value Engine

Platform Capabilities

The Social Value Engine makes it easier to report on social impact and strengthens the validity of your SROI. The platform guides you through a clear, step-by-step process that supports the careful selection of outcomes and proxies. As a result, your assessments are more transparent, defensible, and grounded in recognised evidence.

Social Value Engine: Platform
The Social Value Engine makes it easier and more accurate to record social value. It uses a wizard interface for new users, and shows data in an exportable report.

AI-powered SROI calculation

Our AI-enabled social value platform transforms complex SROI analysis into a guided, intuitive process that takes minutes, not months.

Our system intelligently suggests relevant outcomes based on your activities, provides optional improvements to your report, and automates complex calculations, while keeping you in control. Critical decisions about stakeholder engagement, attribution, and outcome selection remain in your hands, exactly as Social Value International principles require.

Key features:

  • Set up new projects in under an hour
  • Automated SROI calculations following SVI methodology
  • Intelligent outcome suggestions matching your outcomes with validated proxies
  • Feedback on your report to improve its validity

650+ research-backed financial proxies

Finding reliable financial proxies can be time-consuming.  Our library gives you immediate access to over 650 proxies, each with a full link to the source and annual updates. All values are drawn from official UK sources, peer-reviewed research, and recognised independent studies. Each proxy is mapped to national and global frameworks, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals, making it easy to demonstrate how your work contributes to wider policy objectives.

Would you like to use a proxy that’s not yet in our system? You can add it yourself to utilise as you see fit, or share with the wider community to also be used by others.

Key features:

  • 650+ proxies covering health, wellbeing, employment, environment, and more
  • Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish variations where applicable
  • Annual updates to reflect current economic data
  • Full source link for every value

Complete transparency in SROI calculation

Unlike tools that give you a number with no explanation, our platform shows exactly how every figure is calculated. Click on any proxy to see the original research. View the exact figures applied. Export comprehensive reports for stakeholders.

When funders, auditors, or board members ask “how did you get that number?”, you’ll have defensible answers backed by evidence. Every claim in your reports can be traced back to its source, making your social value measurements credible and robust.

Key features:

  • Full source for every proxy value
  • Step-by-step calculation breakdowns
  • Exportable reports for funders and auditors
  • Clear explanations of deflators (impact adjustments)

Expert training & support included

Every subscription includes onboarding, free weekly training sessions, and access to our team of qualified SROI practitioners. We’ll ensure you get the most from the platform and can confidently measure your social value.
