What Transformative Solutions does

Transformative Solutions, operating under the dual brand Transformative Solutions | Evalytics, is a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) consultancy co-led by Elise Montano and Diogo Silva. The firm delivers a portfolio of six interconnected consulting services: Research and Project Design, Project Monitoring, Evaluation, Organisational Effectiveness and Project Management Advisory, Project Cost Effectiveness and Value for Money Analyses, and Innovation Services. Its client base spans international NGOs (World Wide Web Foundation, Internews, Development Initiatives, Greenpeace International, United for Global Mental Health), government agencies (UK Space Agency, European Space Agency), and private sector organisations (Mastercard Centre for Inclusive Growth), with engagements delivered via a recurring co-development partnership with Caribou Digital.

The firm's technical differentiator is the integration of digital technology with traditional M&E methodology. Notable capabilities include interactive data visualisation interfaces for communicating project impact, satellite data integration for monitoring UN Sustainable Development Goals, and technology-based solutions enabling remote M&E data collection. These digital assets are positioned as Innovation Services alongside the core advisory practice, with the Interactive Data Visualisation Interfaces offered as a standalone digital product reachable through a dedicated website URL.

The business model is professional services on a project-based, bespoke engagement basis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are tailored to individual client needs, sourced primarily through direct outreach, content marketing via the company's blog and case study portfolio, and partner referrals. The firm is founder-owned, privately held, and bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding or institutional investment. Geographic positioning is Portugal-based with claimed global reach, and the firm maintains a Portuguese-language version of its website indicating intent to serve Lusophone markets.
