Proffer Studio

Tools that back up your people — powered by AI to enhance, not replace them.

We have an opportunity to change the AI narrative: to harness its power to back up the people already doing the work, not replace them. Proffer Studio turns strategy work into clear, guided drafts in minutes, people-centered and data-informed, with a real person in the loop when you want one. By Insights4Equity, in partnership with SpiceNeuron.

Everyone's asking whether AI will replace jobs. In the social sector, we ask a better question: what could your team finally do if the busywork were handled? We build tools that back people up — never a substitute for your judgment, always a first draft you control.

How far you want to go.

The AI gets you a strong draft, fast; a real strategist helps you see what you can't — the blind spot, the assumption you didn't question, the way to make it land with a funder. When the stakes are real, a person in the loop is the difference.

The tools

Assessments

Quick, individual reads on where you stand.

  • AI Reality Check

    Free

    AI is a tool, and it's probably already in your work — invited or not. Five minutes to see where it turned up, what that puts at risk, and whether your work is carried by your systems or by your people.

  • Your Village

    Free

    They say it takes a village. Does yours really have you covered? A short read on where you're leading right now, who you can actually be honest with, and one move worth making — plus a page you can keep.

  • People-Centered Tech Stack Assessment

    In development

    The full read across your whole stack, not just the AI slice. Comes back with a prioritized plan, not a score.

Discovery & collaboration tools

Apply a framework and pressure-test it — against the AI, against yourself, and when you're ready, with others.

  • Theory of Change Builder

    Free

    Team Mode — in development

    Four plain questions to a clear, funder-ready theory of change in about five minutes.

  • Collective Sense-Making Sessions

    In development

    The original tool, and the one that only works with a group. Private answers, blind until everyone's in, then convergence and tension named side by side.

  • Co-write

    In development

    Team Mode — in development

    An accessible AI writing partner for proposals, briefs, and reports.

  • Assumption Pressure-Test

    In development

    Team Mode — in development

    Check your strategy's assumptions against real research evidence.

  • Leadership Ecology

    In development

    Map the leadership across your organization — where it concentrates, where it's stretched, and where it needs support.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Answer a few good questions

    Plain language, typed or spoken. No jargon, no blank page.

  2. Step 2

    Get a clear first draft

    A single-sentence strategy plus the supporting pieces, ready to read.

  3. Step 3

    Refine, save, and share

    Edit anything, keep it in your account, and take it to your team.

Team Mode: no one voice sets the direction.

Everyone answers first, on their own. Nobody sees anyone else's responses until all have weighed in — so the loudest person doesn't steer the room, and quieter perspectives count.

Built for everyone

We build toward WCAG 2.2 AA. Every tool is fully keyboard operable with visible focus, labeled and announced for screen readers, tested for AA color contrast, and respectful of reduced-motion settings. Voice input and read-aloud are available where you're asked to write. If something doesn't work for you, tell us — we'll fix it.
