THE KPI LENS is an international service. It only has an English version. It allows organizations to enter and analyze data to prepare monitoring and evaluation of their projects in online dashboards mode. The KPI Lens data collection functionality allows you to enter the on-hand data or conduct surveys using built-in tools. The resulting data are automatically transferred to an online workspace where it can be managed and analyzed in real time without the need to switch between multiple software tools. In KPI Lens, you can track the impact of projects using the Theory of Change or a logical model. The service allows you to add your own indicators, immediate results (outputs), long-term results (outcomes), and provides several monitoring platforms, an indicator tracker table, an option of comparing targeted values with actual ones. The service also enables preparing reports that may include various data visualization formats. The service operates on a subscription basis, the monthly fee depends on functionality and ranges from $0 (free version with a decent range of features) to $399 (full access).

THE VOLUNTEER ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION CALCULATOR is another service developed by the GLADWAY Foundation in partnership with the Institute of Social and Economic Design at the Higher School of Economics. Available only in Russian. The Calculator uses a replacement cost calculation to identify the value of volunteer labor for an organization. The calculation uses data from an API service developed by Headhunter.ru, the leading Russian-language job search portal, including the average salary in the specified region for the specified type of specialist across 100 vacancies posted in a sector during the current month. To perform the calculations, it is necessary to fill in the fields «Specialization», "Location", "Position title"; choose the industry that best fits the competencies of a volunteer involved in the project (the list of industries is provided by Headhunter's API). After you click the «Calculate» button, you get a figure that shows the average salary for a certain position in a specific region. The result is then exported to a PDF file, which can be used to assess the estimated organization's contribution when applying for project funding, as well as to conduct an economic assessment of the effectiveness of volunteer contributions to a social project.

SELECTION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS) is another tool launched by the GLADWAY Foundation in partnership with the Institute of Social and Economic Design at the Higher School of Economics. It is aimed at tackling the important task of translating project outcomes into a language understandable to both representatives of different sectors and representatives of different countries – the language of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). On the one hand, these goals are well-known and understandable, so translating the results of the project into this language seems a relatively simple task. On the other hand, the SDG list currently contains 17 goals, and each goal includes 7–10 tasks on average, and translating the areas and results of activities into SDG language can turn into a rather laborious process. In order to simplify it, an online service was created that allows you to visually correlate your activities with the SDGs. The service is available only in Russian. The end product is 1–2 sheets in PDF format with icons and descriptions of the goals and objectives of the organization in the SDG language. This visual presentation of goals and objectives makes the process of negotiations regarding cooperation in the social sphere more open and comprehensible, business partners can easily scan the provided information and almost instantly identify the areas of common interest and how a social project can fit into existing policies, procedures and an organization's strategy.

These examples of digital tools cover only a few instruments created over the past year. The wider trend towards simplifying the tasks associated with the evaluation of social projects and programs using open and accessible online tools has been in place for several years. For example, there are about a dozen different software solutions that focus specifically on the Theory of Change including TOCO, Dylomo, Theory Maker, Changeroo and others.
Most of the tools are available in English, making them more user-friendly for the global audiences. At the same time, these tools require localization (at least at the linguistic level) in order to become more accessible and convenient for use in different countries.
In addition, it is important to systematize and understand the capacities, limitations and conditions for using each of the tools in order to eliminate the redundancy and chaos and in order to simplify the choice of the best tool for any specific task. Therefore, it is logical that the development of digital assessment tools should build upon the challenges faced during practical activities that require assessing the impact of social projects. In other words, the methodology and technology of convenient online services should correspond to the real needs of practitioners.
Методика Outcome mapping – «Создание карт поведенческих изменений»

Любой социальный проект предполагает мониторинг и оценку его результатов. В идеале система мониторинга и оценки должна закладываться уже на этапе планирования проекта. Около 20 лет назад подразделение оценки канадского IDRC (International Development Research Center – Международного центра исследований в области развития) разработало методику планирования проектов, включая систему мониторинга и оценки. Эта методика базируется на идее, что в основе всех социальных изменений лежит изменение поведения людей и организаций. Методику назвали Outcome mapping. На русский язык это можно перевести как «создание карт поведенческих изменений».

Английское outcome в сфере социального проектирования подразумевает изменение, которое произошло вследствие каких-то действий проекта, но уже не совсем в зоне его контроля. Примерно так: вы дали человеку удочку, но не в ваших силах заставить его рыбачить. Однако если он забросил удочку в воду, значит, проект подействовал и разработчики получили нужный outcome.
Методика «Создание карт поведенческих изменений» основана на системном, а скорее даже на экосистемном подходе. Команда исполнителей социального проекта – это отдельная система. Люди, группы и организации, с которыми она взаимодействует напрямую, находятся на ее внешней границе. В рамках методики Outcome mapping их называют boundary partners. На русский язык этот термин стоит переводить как «непосредственные партнеры проекта».
