About Us
With the good data and the right technology, organizations today have the potential to tackle complex challenges and create real, lasting impact.
Yet we saw firsthand how well-meaning social and environmental initiatives often fall short of delivering impact where it’s needed most, while communities bear the brunt of unintended negative effects from development projects. Meanwhile, traditional methods for measuring the true impact of human actions, positive or negative, have proven largely ineffective.
When we assessed existing technologies, we found them overly manual, rigid, expensive, and resource-intensive—struggling to keep up with diverse needs or the urgency of today’s challenges.
Today’s so-called "AI solutions" often rely on generic data and models, forcing organizations into frustrating trade-offs: sacrificing precision, accuracy, and reliability for speed, affordability, and ease of use.
The need for a radically different solution was clear, and we knew it would take an extraordinary team and innovative technology to deliver it. That’s why we founded Global Impact Assessment.
Global Impact Assessment (GIA) transforms how impact assessment, measurement, monitoring, evaluation, and forecasting are conducted. Our patent-pending AI platform, Nyxion: Assessment Operating System (AOS), leverages AI, machine learning, and geospatial analytics to empower decision-making and drive sustainable outcomes.
Nyxion is built on real client insights and constantly evolves through direct feedback, allowing it to adapt to organizations' dynamic challenges. We partner closely with clients to ensure Nyxion remains intuitive, effective, and powerful across various applications.
Our team consists of leading experts and scientists across the domains of environmental science, public health, geospatial analytics, social science, computer science and strategic management—including experts who have developed Impact Assessment systems for governments and major organizations. They direct groundbreaking research, educate at internationally recognized universities like Harvard University and the University of Liverpool, and bring a collective portfolio of more than 300 publications and over 40,000 citations in peer-reviewed scientific journals and textbooks. Leveraging interdisciplinary expertise, innovative research, and technological prowess, we address impact assessment needs with reliable, scientifically grounded methodologies.
