Skoll Award, 2026
“Every day, governments allocate resources, funders make bets, and boards make decisions, based on incomplete evidence. The impact that gets missed, the policy that lands wrong, the funding that misses its mark, that cost is invisible. Until it isn't.”
The Data Gap
The most important evidence in the world has never been captured, not because it doesn't exist, but because the tools to reach it don't operate where it lives. In communities. In practitioner networks. In a decade of programme data that no one has synthesised.
The Translation Gap
When evidence does exist, it rarely reaches the decision-makers who can act on it. Not because they don't care. Because the evidence was written for researchers, not for ministers, funders, or boards. Strong evidence in the wrong language is invisible evidence.
The Decision Gap
Misallocated resources. Missed policy windows. Programmes that don't scale because no one has built the economic case. The cost of this gap is borne by the communities that needed better decisions, and never got them.
Auxeira closes all three gaps. In a single engagement.
The Real Cost
Bad evidence communication isn't a communications problem. It's a capital allocation problem.
R10 Billion
The Bana Pele ECD investment on the table in South Africa.
Programmes that cannot demonstrate economic impact, not just child outcomes, will not be funded at that scale. The evidence gap is a funding gap.

The Skoll Award that followed a single, well-structured evidence narrative.
The difference between a good programme and a recognised one is almost never the programme. It's the translation.

The independently verified SROI of a community-based ECD platform.
A figure that had existed in the data for a decade and had never been surfaced. That number was always there. Auxeira found it.
“The question isn't whether you can afford Auxeira. It's what a misallocated funding round, a missed policy window, or an unseen SROI is costing you right now.”
The Auxeira Evidence Intelligence Framework
We go where others can't. Then we bring back what the world needs to know.
The Longitudinal Evidence Audit
We go deep. Into communities. Into longitudinal datasets. Into a decade of evaluations, financial records and programme data. Through structured stakeholder interviews, evidence mining, qualitative research and financial reconciliation, we surface the evidence that exists nowhere else. We build what we call a Sector Intelligence Machine: a cross-referenced, auditable knowledge base that no single organisation, algorithm or consulting firm could build alone.
The Decision-Ready Synthesis Engine
We apply the full Auxeira Evidence Intelligence Framework, AI, behavioural science, data science, actuarial analysis, systems thinking and qualitative synthesis, to find the signal in the complexity. We identify what the evidence actually means, which findings matter most, and what language will move the specific decision-makers who need to act. The output is not data. It is structured, verified, decision-ready intelligence.
Knowledge Products That Move
We produce knowledge products built to drive decisions, not sit in filing cabinets. 10-Year impact reports. Annual reports. Policy and funder briefs. Economic multiplier analyses. M&E frameworks. Practitioner narratives. Infographic systems. Evidence indexes. Sector publications in design-ready format. Each product is designed with one question in mind: what does this audience need to see, hear and feel to act? The result is always evidence that moves.
Every engagement starts with a conversation. But here's what that conversation typically leads to.

The Challenge
SmartStart had a decade of rigorous programme data but a critical evidence gap: their broader economic contribution, 14,740 women-led micro-enterprises, household income effects, caregiver workforce participation, long-term fiscal savings, was unmeasured and absent from policy and funding conversations. Without this framing, ECD investment is perceived by Treasury as social expenditure. Not economic infrastructure.

- ·49 structured stakeholder interviews across South Africa
- ·207-quote Master Evidence Index from a decade of programme data
- ·Full narrative architecture, from raw evidence to accessible story
- ·10-Year Impact Report, policy and funder briefs, practitioner communications package

We didn't borrow our framework. We built it, from African fieldwork, Nobel Prize-winning research, and the hard lessons of evidence that never reached the people who needed it.

Knowledge Products That Move
Longitudinal Intelligence
We extract learning across multiple evaluations, datasets and reports over time, building a Sector Intelligence Machine that compounds in value. The longer we work in a sector, the more irreplaceable we become.
Behavioural Science
We apply Thaler, Ariely and Kahneman principles to understand how decision-makers actually process evidence. Every knowledge product is architectured around the cognitive patterns of its target audience, not around researcher conventions.
Artificial Intelligence
AI accelerates our synthesis, pattern recognition and knowledge product production. But it never replaces the human judgment, fieldwork and relationship intelligence that makes evidence credible. We use AI as infrastructure, not as shortcut.
Data Science & Actuarial Analysis
Rigorous quantitative analysis underpins every claim we make, from SROI calculations to economic multiplier modelling to fiscal impact projection. Our actuarial foundation means our numbers are built to withstand scrutiny in Treasury, boardrooms and international funding reviews.
Qualitative Research
The world's most important evidence lives in human experience. Structured interviews, focus groups, practitioner narratives and evidence synthesis surface the truth that quantitative data cannot capture alone.
Systems Thinking
We see the ecosystem, not just the organisation. We map how evidence flows through systems, where it gets blocked, and what interventions unlock the decisions that drive scale.
We start where the evidence gap is deepest, then expand. One sector at a time.
Until no important decision in Africa is made without the best available evidence.
Climate & Environment
The climate crisis in Africa is under-evidenced and over-politicised. We are changing that.
Governance & Justice
Policy change requires evidence that moves ministries. We build it.

The best evidence firms in the world operate from London and New York. They charge accordingly. And they've never been inside the communities where your evidence lives.
Global Firms
- Deep pockets. Global brand.
- Frameworks built for Western markets.
- Day rates that absorb your entire annual budget.
- Delivered by junior analysts who've never set foot in your province.
Local Research Firms
- Strong sector relationships.
- Genuine commitment.
- Limited capacity to translate evidence into the economic and funder language that moves global decision-makers.
Auxeira
- Global methodology. African proximity.
- A team that has been inside your data, your communities and your evidence base.
- The credentials, the framework and the network to make it move internationally.

You don't need a global firm with an African office. You need an African firm with a global methodology. That's Auxeira.
We work with organisations whose evidence deserves a world-class partner.
Foundations & Funders
You invest in evidence-driven organisations. We make that evidence visible, to government, to co-funders, to the sector.
Impact Organisations & NGOs
You do the work. We build the story that earns the next round of support, and moves policy in your direction.
Government & Development Agencies
You need evidence to justify decisions and allocate resources. We build the economic case that stands up in Treasury.
International Philanthropy
You need to understand what's working in markets you can't reach. We go there and bring back what you need to know.
We take on a small number of engagements at a time. Every client gets our full attention and our full methodology.

The Translation Gap: Why Strong Evidence Doesn't Drive Strong Decisions

Founder & CEO, Auxeira
“I built Auxeira because I watched brilliant organisations do extraordinary work, and watched that work disappear into reports that nobody read, decisions that never changed, and communities that waited for impact that never came.
The problem was never the evidence. The problem was always the translation.
Auxeira is my answer to that problem, built on African entrepreneurship, MIT-trained behavioural economics, actuarial precision and the conviction that the world's most important data is still waiting to be found.”
