Score the data storage and privacy practices in a methodology or data management plan. Paste the relevant section to assess whether respondent data will be protected end-to-end.
Score the do-no-harm risk identification and mitigation protocol for an evaluation, monitoring, or research activity. Paste the protocol to assess coverage of physical, psychological, social, and economic risks. Use this for the substantive risk-and-mitigation analysis; for the organizational machinery (training, reporting channels, escalation chain, audit trail) see safeguarding-procedures.
Score the ethical standards of an M&E or research deliverable across five dimensions using AI. Use to assess MEL plans, evaluation ToRs, inception reports, surveys, FGD/KII protocols, sampling plans, evaluation reports, case studies, and any deliverable involving human participants or sensitive data.
Score any M&E deliverable for GESI integration across five dimensions using AI. Use to assess MEL plans, evaluation ToRs, inception reports, indicator frameworks, surveys, FGD/KII protocols, and evaluation reports.
Score how deeply gender is integrated into an M&E design (beyond disaggregation). Paste the gender-relevant sections to assess whether gender analysis informs methods, interpretation, and use. Use this for the depth of gender as a single analytic lens; for multi-axis identity analysis (gender x disability x age x ethnicity) see intersectionality-analysis.
Score the informed consent form or process for clarity, comprehension, and voluntariness. Paste the consent script or form to assess whether respondents will truly consent informed.
Score whether the M&E design treats identity intersections (gender, disability, age, ethnicity) as distinct analytic categories, beyond single-axis disaggregation. Use this for multi-axis intersectional analysis; for the depth of gender as a single analytic lens (methods, interpretation, use) see gender-integration-depth.
Score evaluator self-reflection on bias, perspective, and positionality. Paste the relevant section to assess whether qualitative findings are grounded in reflexive practice.
Score the safeguarding procedures in a research or evaluation design. Goes deeper than do-no-harm: training, escalation chain, response protocol, audit trail. Use this for the organizational machinery of safeguarding; for substantive risk identification and mitigation see do-no-harm-protocol.
Score the protections for vulnerable populations (children, refugees, survivors, people with disabilities, etc.) in an evaluation or research design. Paste the relevant section to assess safeguards.
