# Program outcome reports

Pull activity and outcome data from program systems, attendance records and surveys into a draft report for funders and the board, with every figure linked to its source, so the program lead reviews instead of compiling.

[Talk through this workflow](https://lidvizion.ai/contact/?need=ai-workflow&from=%2Fuse-cases%2Fprogram-outcome-reports%2F#write) · [Automate the repeatable](https://lidvizion.ai/services/automation/)

Where it starts

## The trigger.

A funder, board or quarterly reporting deadline is coming up.

How it runs today

- Program staff spend days copying figures from spreadsheets into reports.
- Each funder asks for the same data in a different format.
- Figures differ between reports because they were pulled at different times.

The workflow

## Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

1. 01 / Collect
   Read activity, attendance and outcome data from the approved program systems and surveys.
2. 02 / Calculate
   Calculate the agreed measures for the reporting period, with every figure linked to its source.
3. 03 / Draft
   Draft the report in each funder’s format, using approved program descriptions and stories shared with consent.
4. 04 / Approve
   The program lead checks figures and wording and approves the report before it is sent.

Where people stay in control

## Approval points.

- The program lead approves every report before it is sent.
- Stories about participants are used only with consent and without identifying details unless agreed.
- Measures and definitions are agreed with the program team, not invented by the draft.

How we would measure it

## Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

### Staff time spent preparing each report.

### Reports submitted on time.

### Figures corrected after review.

[All use cases](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/)

- [Supplier onboarding and document collection](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/supplier-onboarding/): Operations Collect the forms, certificates and bank details a new supplier must provide, check each item against your requirements, and chase what is missing, so purchasing can start sooner without skipping checks.
- [RFI and submittal tracking](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/rfi-and-submittal-tracking/): Operations Read incoming requests for information and submittals, log the key fields, track who owes a response and by when, and give the project team a short list of what is overdue each morning.
- [Shipment exception routing](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/shipment-exception-routing/): Operations Watch tracking and order data for shipments that are late, stuck or missing paperwork, and route each exception to the right coordinator with the order, carrier status and a suggested next step, before the customer has to ask.
