What we do

Click here to view a very macro presentation of the platform : what we do, the services we offer, and the stakeholders involved.    


We are developing the world's first and only complete open source real-time project delivery and impact assessment platform for impact investments using proven best practices, methodologies and processes as well as contributions from world-renown experts in the related fields. 
In short: We are a platform for 'Good' projects to use so they can deliver, succeed and measure their impact.  


We develop and service the world's first and only Open Source project delivery and impact measurement platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution, the end-result of which is a secure, real time, 24 / 7 / 365 dashboard of everything happening with a 'Good' project. Our product is a web-accessible platform that permits projects to customize their environment, their project management, their business logic and their indicators from their browser. The software, the algorithms and its all associated data are hosted centrally (at HBT facilities) and are securely accessed by users using a web browser over the Internet.

We provide the complete environment for projects to know where they are, where they are going and how they will get there. Simply said, we help 'Good' projects deliver. It is also the world’s first real-time dashboard monitoring system that helps measure social (People), environmental (Planet) and financial (Profit) factors using thousands of critical impact indicators. Following projects in real-time permits negative trends and misunderstandings to be indentified and corrected rapidly, nurturing trust between the sponsors and the projects.

The information hosted with HBT is highly secure (based on the CIA security model), hacker tested, visually presented, and easy to understand while being available anytime and anywhere through a multiple platform interface. Created with self-learning capacities, all data processed cycles back in and is used to constantly improve accuracy and efficiency.  
What we DO NOT do

  • We do not manage projects ourselves and we do not decide of the impact metrics on our own. We help the projects do that through the platform and our services
  • We do not develop our own strategic planning, project management or governance methodologies, we encourage and help the the best ones be integrated in our platform 
  • We do not develop our own impact metrics and systems, we encourage and help the best ones be integrated in our platform so that the projects may have access to them
  • We do not promote certain methodologies over others. The clients decide what they would like and provide a forum for them to decide
  • We do not give a list of the best places for the public to give their money. The public will decide with the real-time reports generated on the projects' delivery and impact
  • We do not make ANY judgment calls on any aspects of any project. We are a platform that reports everything, ie. the good, the bad and the ugly
  • We do not use ANY of the data for self-serving purposes. The data is secured and belongs solely to the project stakeholders. We are just the platform
  • We do not have the responsibility of the project delivery or the resulting impacts, although we will do everything in our power to help the projects succeed and generate the desired impact

In short, we help answer the questions:
  • How can we make sure the project delivers? (Appraisal, Strategy and Project Management)
  • How can we ensure complete transparency during the project life cycle? (Governance)
  • How can we have an impact on the whole value chain? (Impact) 
  • How can we measure a project's success? Individually? Socially? Environmentally? Economically? (Impact) 
  • How can we measure the project's performance in real-time? (Impact) 
  • How can we ensure participants are fully engaged in the monitoring and evaluating process? (Engagement)
  • How can we promote the successes of the projects to the world with the right intentions?  (Promotion)

The virtuous cycle between Trust and Impact

A virtuous cycle is a self-propagating advantageous situation in which a successful solution leads to more of a desired result or another success which generates still more desired results or successes in a chain. (Dictionary). 

Quite simply, for HBT, the more Trust we give a project, the more Impact it will generate. Then, the more Impact that is seen coming from the project, the more Trust will be given to the credibility, value and potential  of 'Good' Projects. All the modules either contribute to the Trust to Impact cycle or the Impact to Trust one.
