Cycad helps people shaping, delivering, and learning from strategies that make the world better — across conservation, international development, philanthropy, and beyond — with AI-enhanced tools, practitioner-led training, and expert consulting. We believe rigorous thinking about cause and effect deserves tools as thoughtful as the work itself.
Cycad works across three integrated offerings — software, training, and consulting — that reinforce one another in service of better-reasoned, better-evidenced programs.
Our software studio — building and maintaining AI-powered decision-support tools on structured data, with AI that augments judgment rather than replacing it. Home of Frame, with Terraloop, an early-stage platform for landscape-scale planning, in development.
Courses, workshops, and bespoke coaching in results-based management, theory of change design, MEL systems, and adaptive management — delivered independently of any one tool.
Expert consultancy in program logic, results frameworks, MEL system design, and adaptive management, drawing on 25+ years of field experience across development and conservation.
Flagship
Frame is a browser-based platform for everyone who shapes, delivers, and learns from strategies for positive change. Draw visual results chains, logframes, and theories of change; track indicators and the evidence behind every causal link; collaborate through review and approval workflows; harvest real-world outcomes as they emerge; and produce donor-ready reports. Its AI flags rigor gaps, missing precursors, and alternative pathways to weigh — always a thinking aid, with a human deciding.
Frame is in beta — we're onboarding pilot teams and actively shaping the roadmap with them.
