From operational data to attributable impact.
ClimaFI processes operational evidence through defined methodologies to create standardised impact metrics, then links funding and payment records to the outcome, recipient and funder attribution.
Operational evidence becomes fundable through methodology and attribution
EvidenceMethodologyAttribution
Why it is hard
Impact funding is expensive when evidence, payment and attribution are disconnected.
Results-Based Finance and other impact funding mechanisms often depend on fragmented evidence, manual verification and costly audit processes. Funders need clarity about what was achieved, how it was calculated, who received funds and whether the same outcome was claimed elsewhere.
Data to impact funding
A complete path from observed activity to attributable funding.
Evidence, methodology, funding and attribution each have a defined role. The sequence makes it clearer what was funded, who received funds and which funder received attribution.
- Operational activity is observed and recorded.
- A defined methodology determines a quantifiable outcome.
- A funder approves funding for the outcome.
- Funds are linked to the appropriate local recipient.
- A transparent record assigns the associated attribution.
Unitised impact metrics
Standardised outcomes that can be understood and funded.
A documented impact methodology converts operational observations into a defined, quantifiable metric. It defines how the outcome is calculated; it does not make raw data true by itself.

Funding and attribution record
Trace the funded outcome, recipient and funder attribution.
What was funded
Defined, unitised outcome
The funded metric and methodology reference are recorded.
Who received funds
Named recipient
The payment is linked to the relevant recipient and outcome.
Who received attribution
Specific funder
A transparent attribution record supports the funder’s claim.
Duplicate claim check
Already attributed — additional claim not accepted
What blockchain-backed records can do
- Shows that a record existed and has not been altered
- Links evidence references, funding commitments, payments and attribution
- Creates a tamper-evident transaction trail
What they do not prove
- Independently prove that a real-world event occurred
- Guarantee evidence quality or eliminate governance
- Replace methodologies, verification rules or audit where required
