Program Evaluation That
Survives Funder Scrutiny.
An evaluation that can't withstand a funder's second read isn't an evaluation — it's a formality. Percova designs and delivers program evaluations, MERI frameworks, and rapid evidence reviews built to generate findings that are both methodologically defensible and genuinely useful for the next commissioning decision.
Evaluation designed to be used, not filed.
Too many program evaluations are commissioned to satisfy a reporting requirement and then never inform the next funding round. Percova builds evaluation frameworks around the decisions they'll actually feed — renewal, redesign, scale-up, or discontinuation — so the findings arrive in a form a commissioning team, a board, or a funder can act on immediately.
Every evaluation applies NHMRC evidence hierarchies and GRADE certainty ratings to the findings it produces, and is reviewed by a senior practitioner before delivery — so the rigour is verifiable, not just claimed.
The core of every Percova program evaluation.
- ■MERI Frameworks — Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Improvement frameworks built at program design stage, not retrofitted after launch
- ■Theory of Change & Logic Models — the causal chain from activity to outcome made explicit and testable
- ■Theory-Based & Utilisation-Focused Evaluation Design — methodology chosen to match how the findings will actually be used, not a default template
- ■Rapid Evidence Reviews — structured, time-bound evidence synthesis for programs that need a defensible evidence base on a funding-round timeline
- ■Mixed-Methods Analysis — quantitative outcome data calibrated against qualitative stakeholder and community input
- ■GRADE-Rated Findings — every evidence claim rated for certainty, so funders and boards know exactly how much weight it can bear
Each component is developed to the depth the brief requires, with scope confirmed in your fixed-fee proposal.
Built for renewal and scrutiny, from day one.
A Percova evaluation is structured around the standard your funder, board, or department will actually apply — Commonwealth grant reporting requirements, NSQHS quality frameworks, or PHN commissioning documentation — so findings translate directly into your next Activity Work Plan, board paper, or funding submission without a second round of reformatting.
Tell us what decision your evaluation needs to support.
We scope every evaluation around the decision it will inform — renewal, redesign, or scale — before a single methodology is chosen. Fixed-scope proposals are provided at no cost.
