Theory of Change and Measurement Framework, Governance pillar
A theory of change your board can actually use.
An 8-week FILO package that documents how your actions produce your impact, with indicators and a data collection plan. For Quebec nonprofits and foundations whose funder requires this framework, or who have never formalized the link between activities and results. You get a documented theory of change, ready for a funding application.
Book a discovery callDuration: 8 weeks
Who it’s for
- A funder requires a theory of change or a measurement framework, and you do not have a formal version.
- Your mission is clear in your head, but you do not have indicators to demonstrate it to a board or a funding partner.
- A major grant application requires a measurement framework you have never had time to write.
What you get
- A documented theory of change: your change hypotheses, from activity to final outcome.
- Indicators attached to each step of the results chain.
- A data collection plan: who collects what, how often, and with what tool.
How it works
- DiagnosticInterviews with leadership and the team, review of your documents and your reports to funders.

What is not included
- The diagnostic is not sold on its own: it is built into the first phase of the mandate.
- The scope is fixed and the deliverable is named in advance.
- Program evaluation is a separate exercise, outside the package.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this replace a program evaluation?
- No. The measurement framework establishes the indicators and the data collection plan. A formal program evaluation is a separate exercise, outside the package.
- How much does this package cost?
- Rates are shared during the discovery call, calibrated to the precise scope of your mandate. No price is posted publicly.
- Can I buy this package on its own, without the others?
- Yes. Every package is sold individually. You start with the package that answers your immediate need, with no required sequence.
- Who produces the deliverable, Michele or a team?
- Michele Musci, directly. FILO limits the number of active mandates at a time to keep a senior presence on each one.
