The best decisions are the right ones, taken before it is too late.
None of this should come as a surprise, but it often does, and every surprise costs time and resources.
A good strategy anticipates change, and good monitoring warns you before an incident does. decideDone is M&E Factory’s approach to the whole strategy cycle: from developing the strategy and its Theory of Change, through monitoring and early warning, to the decisions that keep it on course.
The data are usually there all along; their signal is simply understood too late to act.
decideDone links strategy development, monitoring and evaluation into one cycle. It starts with what your strategy is meant to change, separates signal from noise along the way, shows which assumptions are becoming critical and feeds what you learn back into the strategy.
It is built on the method we use to evaluate large, complex EU funds: a clear Theory of Change, a practical intervention logic, meaningful indicators and well-placed thresholds that trigger attention.
The result: structure, focus and awareness before it is too late.
