Social Value Engine

Artificial Intelligence in the Social Value Engine

AI-enabled. Human-led. Fully accredited.

With a new AI-powered capability, the Social Value Engine helps you get to meaningful insights faster. It’s a human-led tool that works with you, ensuring every step remains transparent and fully aligned with our accredited approach.

Your social value sidekick

Our AI-enhanced wizard guides you step-by-step through setting up your project. It helps you clearly describe your activities, then selects appropriate outcomes, proxies, stakeholders, and deflation based on your input. This ensures you have a complete and accurate starting point for your analysis, saving you hours of manual searching and matching.

Alongside the wizard is our AI chatbot. You can ask it questions about anything to do with social value and receive clear, instant answers. It can also suggest suitable proxies for your project, helping you explore options you might not have considered. Both tools are designed to make your work faster, easier, and more consistent.

Ask the AI chatbot for report and proxy recommendations or general guidance on social value: a quick way to sharpen your thinking and save time.

Save time and produce social impact reports you can trust

The AI tools in our platform are designed to take some of the effort out of preparing and refining your analysis. They help you move faster through the set-up stage, give you quick answers when you need them, and point you towards the most relevant measures for your project.

This means you can focus more on understanding what your work is achieving and how to make it even more effective. The process becomes quicker, the results stay credible, and you have the reassurance that nothing important has been overlooked.

AI built on ethical principles​

We believe AI should support people in making better decisions, not replace human decision-making. The tools in our platform are designed to work within the same accredited methodology that underpins all Social Value Engine analysis, so the results remain credible and transparent.

Our approach is guided by the principles we set out in our eBook AI for Social Value. This includes keeping people in control, being clear about how AI suggestions are generated, and making sure the technology helps rather than hinders meaningful stakeholder engagement. We also focus on avoiding bias by using a validated, open-source proxy database and by encouraging review and refinement at every stage.

Measure more of what matters in the future

We are already working on the next phase of AI in the Social Value Engine. This includes finding relevant proxies beyond our current database, adding tools that can sense check impact reports, and exploring new ways to make analysis faster and more insightful.
