MTPCompass™
Organisations don’t usually fail overnight — they drift, often around funding, until the gap is too wide to close easily. MTPCompass is built to catch that drift early and guide you back on course, protecting not just funding but the organisation’s long-term sustainability.
What it is
MTPCompass diagnoses organisational health across five key dimensions, backed by 20 components and 60 underlying KPIs. It’s designed to catch the moment an organisation starts to lose its way — most often when funding pressure quietly starts shaping decisions instead of mission.
At the end of the process you get a single health score: think of it like a credit rating, but built specifically for charities and social enterprises. It’s not a judgement — it’s an early warning system, a clear bearing that funders, boards, leaders and partners can all trust.
The 5 dimensions
5 dimensions · 20 components · 60 KPIs
Mission & Impact
are you still delivering what you set out to, or has funding pressure quietly pulled you off course?
Market & External Need
is the need you serve real and validated, and can you still thrive in the wider ecosystem around you?
Finance & Cashflow
are you financially resilient, or one bad funding cycle from real trouble?
People & Delivery
do you have the people, leadership, systems and capability to hold your course consistently, even under strain?
Regulation & Compliance
are you meeting your obligations to your people, regulators and funders, and are your board and oversight structures solid enough to keep you on course?
Where leadership and governance sit
Two questions come up often. Governance isn’t a separate dimension because weak governance shows up as a control gap rather than a risk in its own right — it surfaces through the assessment and is addressed directly in your roadmap. And leadership sits with the Driver, not the Car: the Compass assesses the organisation. We assess leadership separately, when you’re ready for that conversation.
How the assessment works
Every organisation starts with a Light Assessment — a fast, focused review that shows you exactly where you’ve started to drift, especially around funding, before it becomes a crisis. From there, organisations who want the full picture move to a Detailed Assessment, going deeper into evidence across all five dimensions.
Either way, the process is built to be rigorous without being burdensome. We do the diagnosis; you get a clear report and a practical roadmap — the specific steps to get back on track, not just a list of what’s wrong.
Your health score
Your health score is the single reading MTPCompass gives you — a trackable measure of organisational health, much like a credit rating, but built specifically for this sector. It shows funders and partners exactly where you stand, and shows you exactly where you’ve drifted so you can course-correct before funding or organisational sustainability is at risk. One score. One bearing. A clear way to prove you’re back on track.
