Public sector programs: your document already says more than it seems
Review the main points for progress reports, accountability reporting, or the memo that higher-ups ask for.
HILO reads the document and gathers what it says about each topic, wherever it is and however it is worded, with the page of each mention. Then you can check it against the targets of a standard, summarize it by topic, or review how you named each thing.
- Word or PDF, as is
- Everything comes back with the page where it is said
- Download it and present it
Nothing to install. The document is read in your browser.
Six things on the same document
Align the program with the SDGs
The targets of a 2030 Agenda goal against your document. Each target comes back with which part addresses it and on which page, or with the fact that it doesn't appear, and with its official indicator alongside.
Check against your own list
The same check, against the requirements you were given: the funder's terms of reference, the audit grid, the tender document. You paste the list and each point comes back with its evidence.
Gather a topic
The mentions of a concept across the document, even when they're said in other words, together and with their page. To answer “what did we say about this” without rereading forty pages.
Summarize by topic
Everything the document says about a component, gathered and ordered by section in a document you download. The basis for writing those two paragraphs they ask for when the program runs thirty pages.
Concept map
The topic and its branches, drawn from what your document says. Useful for seeing the structure the program really has, which is almost never the one in the table of contents.
Unify terminology
The different ways you named the same thing across the text, grouped and counted. “Beneficiaries”, “recipients”, and “target population” in the same document are three problems at reporting time.
Remove identifiers before sharing
To pass a beneficiary register to another department or a consultant without ID numbers or names: the same person has the same code in every file.
When you have to report progress or results
Local programs against global targets
A recycling, mobility, or public space program that was presented as aligned with an SDG.
Sector plans and their follow-up
Before committing to indicators in a plan, check what they will be measured against and what the document says.
Externally funded projects
Funders ask for explicit alignment and reporting against a framework. HILO shows it point by point, with the citation.
Diagnostics and evaluations
The document review that opens every evaluation, done in an afternoon and with citable evidence instead of memory.
It works on the document you already have
Everything above starts from a written document. HILO reads it, gathers it, checks it, and gives it back with the page of each item.
If what you need is to go from a document of intentions to a chain of objective, action, output, and outcome with your own indicators, the monitoring and evaluation work, HILO has a separate tool for that: build a logic model (results chain).
No. It's a tool that opens in the browser and works on a document you already have. It doesn't connect to any of the agency's systems and nobody has to register anything.
In your browser, so you can come back to it. What you upload isn't shared with anyone else and you can delete it whenever you want.
Yes. Besides the published standards, you can upload your own list of targets or requirements, or type it in by hand. The check is made against what you give it.
It can. It searches by meaning rather than by keyword, so something said in very different vocabulary can slip past it. That's why everything comes back with the page and the passage where it is said, and not with a verdict: it's for someone to review.
Try it with the program you have at hand
Upload the document and see what it says about the point they are asking you about.
