Every Benefactor Intelligence deliverable passes five tests before it ships.
-
01
Sourced.
Confirmed fact is separated from interpretation. Inference is named.
-
02
Relevant.
Information is included only when it changes strategy, risk, timing, or preparation.
-
03
Respectful.
The donor is written about in language that would hold up if the donor read the document.
-
04
Actionable.
Every meaningful finding helps the team decide what to do, who should act, or what to avoid.
-
05
Defensible.
No speculation about health, marriage, family, or motive that is not sourced and directly relevant.
For whom
Built for the rooms where transformational gifts get decided.
Chief Advancement Officer
Runs the campaign. Carries the relationship. Needs intelligence that holds up to a board, a president, and a donor.
President or Dean
Three minutes before a meeting. Needs the judgment, the moment, and the recommended next move.
Principal or Major Gift Officer
Lives in Signal coverage between calls. Needs to know in three seconds what changed and what to do.
Board Chair or Trustee
Judges institutional sophistication by what is on the page. Needs a standard the room recognizes.
