The evidence intelligence application

One application of the architecture — focused on value creation

Project JANUS™ applies FASTlab’s evidence architecture to value creation, programme readiness and stakeholder reporting. It transforms diverse forms of evidence into transparent, consistent and defensible decision intelligence.

It stores knowledge, not documents — ensuring every decision is traceable, explainable and trusted.

Each knowledge record has a maintained source, with provenance and validation status reviewed as evidence changes, and is reused with context.
The Project Janus™ Principle

Eight conditions

JANUS looks at the conditions
that make value more likely

The conditions stay consistent. The evidence changes by sector, setting and audience.

Vision
Clear purpose, decision context and shared account of value.
Trust
Confidence that relationships, commitments and evidence use are credible.
Participation
The right people can contribute in ways that suit their context and role.
Relevance
The work is connected to lived realities, decisions and local priorities.
Capability
People, partners and systems have the capacity to follow through.
Translation
Insight and evidence move into decisions, learning or action.
Inclusion
Barriers, unequal voice and power are recognised and addressed.
Impact
The work creates or strengthens meaningful value over time.

Use it to introduce JANUS to teams, brief partners, or prepare for a deeper assessment. It is designed to be shared.
