Built from real-world systems, not theory

Infrastructure for decision-ready evidence

Sabi Core enables organisations to produce, update, and publish evidence that decision-makers can trust—at speed and with full traceability.

Built and tested through over a decade of real-world research and policy engagement in Sierra Leone through the Institute for Development.

Core promise Living, traceable evidence
Built for Teams that produce and use evidence
Grounded in Real policy and programme environments
Who it's for

Built for organisations that cannot afford weak evidence workflows

Evidence Intermediaries

Produce living syntheses, not static reports, with clear decision trails and faster update cycles.

Funders & Foundations

See what is working across portfolios, compare learning, and make evidence easier to use across programmes.

NGOs & Programme Teams

Bring research, evaluations, and operational learning into one system that supports better design and adaptation.

Universities & Research Institutes

Make research more usable, interrogable, and publishable for decision-makers and external audiences.

The problem

Evidence systems are still too slow, too static, and too fragmented

Evidence is slow to produce
Outputs are static and quickly outdated
Decisions are rarely transparent or traceable
Knowledge remains fragmented across documents and teams
We've worked inside these systems. We know where they break.
Workflow

Living evidence system workflow

01
Core infrastructure

Evidence Ingestion

Collect peer reviewed research, grey literature, evaluations, reports, policies and datasets into one unified evidence environment.

02
Configurable

Evidence Structuring

Organisations define how evidence is categorised and tagged — topics, geography, populations, interventions and evidence types.

03
Core infrastructure

Knowledge Graph

Connect entities, studies, topics and relationships across the entire evidence base.

04
Configurable

Synthesis Layer

Organisations choose how knowledge is synthesised — AI-assisted synthesis, systematic review workflows or custom organisational methods.

05
Configurable

Validation Layer

Organisations define governance for validating knowledge — internal expert review, external peer review, editorial oversight or community validation.

06
Core infrastructure

Knowledge Delivery

Publish and disseminate knowledge directly to audiences on the platform. The same platform can expose knowledge through evidence hubs, AI question interfaces, dashboards, policy briefs and APIs.

07
Core infrastructure

Continuous Updating

New evidence, feedback and validation updates feed back into the system so knowledge continuously improves.

Product in action

Serious infrastructure should be visible

Outcomes

What changes when the infrastructure is right

Reduce time from question to answer
Increase output per researcher
Replace static PDFs with living evidence products
Track decisions, sources, and rationale in one place
Proof

This isn't theoretical. It is built from real systems.

Built from over a decade of real-world evidence and policy work in Sierra Leone
Shaped by practical use across government, NGOs, and research environments
Informed by live systems including Sabi Salone and national evidence initiatives
How it fits

Designed to work alongside serious evidence workflows

Supports systematic reviews and rapid synthesis
Works with existing research, editorial, and policy processes
Can sit behind evidence hubs, Q&A tools, and publishing layers
Built for organisations that need rigour as well as speed
Mission & vision

Why we exist

Mission

To ensure that evidence is consistently used in real-world decision-making.
