What is Helm?
Helm is a monitoring, evaluation, and learning platform built for international development programs. It manages the full logframe: programs, projects, objectives, outputs, indicators, targets, and results, all in one place.
It's designed for NGOs and development organizations that need a system they own and control, deployable inside their own cloud environment, without dependence on third-party platforms.
Why Helm?
MEL is supposed to drive decisions. Most of the time, it doesn't. Data gets collected. Reports get filed. Analysis never happens.
The problem isn't the data. It's the gap between collection and insight. Helm is built to close that gap.
Helm Insights
Helm Insights is a natural language interface to your program data. Ask a question in plain English. Get a real answer. Not an export, not a pivot table.
"Give me a brief summary of how our programs are performing against targets."
Every answer includes Show Receipts: the actual queries and data that produced the response. Not a black box. Your data, your schema, full transparency.
Ask anything
Plain language questions about your portfolio, projects, or indicators.

Who It's For
Helm is built for NGO analysts and program decision-makers in international development. People who live in MEL data and need answers fast, not more spreadsheets.
If you're responsible for donor reporting, adaptive management, or program performance and you're still exporting to Excel to get at basic insights, this is built for you.
Your Data, Your Environment
Helm deploys inside your cloud: AWS, Azure, GovCloud, or on-premise. Your IT team owns the environment, the data, and the authentication model. No proprietary hosting, no vendor lock-in.
Helm Insights works out of the box, and the AI provider is swappable for organizations with specific compliance or hosting requirements.
Your questions and responses are stored in your system. No AI provider retention.
