Istorias Metron

Istorias Metron tracks reach, budget, and impact across projects — and turns months of grant reporting into minutes

From months of reporting to minutes of proof

Grant reporting shouldn't take longer than the work it's meant to document. Istorias Metron is our in-house project management and impact measurement platform — built to track reach, budget, and real-world outcomes across every project we run, and to turn what used to be months of manual reporting into something you can generate in minutes.

We're building Metron with Italian tech-for-good developer Stefano Marchesi, and we're currently refining the algorithms that power its impact scoring system. Beta testing opens later in 2026. If you'd like to be among the first to try it — or if you want to support its development — we'd love to hear from you.
