Run your own METT-4 in an hour

Your staff answer in their own words. Every score is checked against the record, and the cycle costs a tenth of a consultant-led assessment.

  • A tenth of the cost

    One cycle costs a tenth of a consultant-led assessment, with no travel and no daily rate.

  • An hour, not weeks

    Your team answers once. The report is finished the same day, not after a field mission.

  • Evidence, not memory

    Every score is held against documents, patrol records and the threat picture before it stands.

  • Your own record

    Each cycle sits beside the last one, with the gaps named and the actions that close them.

The mandate

“…at least 30 per cent of terrestrial, inland water, and of coastal and marine areas … effectively conserved and managed.”
Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Target 3. Adopted by 196 countries, 2022.

By 2030 every signatory must show its protected areas work. Most areas have never been assessed once, because a cycle has always meant a consultant, a field mission and weeks of somebody else’s time.

A score you can put in front of a donor

Managers grade their own work; consultants grade their clients. Both carry bias, and the score that reaches a funder carries it too. Here every answer is put against the evidence behind it, and a contradiction goes back as a question. What you send out is a number you can defend.

Under an hour, from where your team already sits

A longer bar is a larger bill, against a consultant-led assessment of the same site.
  1. Prefill

    Site attributes, designations and boundaries load automatically from Protected Planet and global databases. Nobody types what the world already knows.

  2. Interview

    AI conducts the structured interview with staff, communities and experts, at their pace, in their own words.

  3. Triangulate

    Every score is checked against the narrative, the threat assessment and external data. Contradictions go back as questions, not into the report.

  4. Deliver

    A complete METT-4 workbook, dashboard and action plan, set against your last cycle and ready for the Global Database on PAME.

We ran assessments manually for over 20 years

From the Caucasus across the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa and the United States. Our team has sat on both sides of the interview table, and built this platform to fix what we saw there.
