Trusted Pathways for SME Evidence Contribution

Trusted Pathways for SME Evidence Contribution

High-quality SME evidence requires trust, context, and responsible engagement.

High-quality SME evidence requires trust, context, and responsible engagement.

Gifftid works with Delivery and Engagement Partners to ensure SMEs can participate ethically, clearly, and consistently in evidence creation without confusion, pressure, or misaligned expectations.

Partners enable participation.

They do not influence decisions.

Who Delivery Partners Are

Delivery & Engagement Partners include:

  • Financial intermediaries

  • Combined Authorities, Local Government Authorities

  • SME lenders and ecosystem bodies

  • Government and Non Government Organizations

  • Corporate Procurement Organizations

  • Sector organisations and trusted advisors


Partners already have trusted relationships with SMEs and understand institutional requirements.

The Partner Role

Delivery partners:

  • Introduce SMEs to the Gifftid Operational Intelligence evidence framework

  • Support structured data contribution

  • Ensure informed consent and understanding

  • Maintain quality, accuracy, and continuity


Delivery partners do not:

  • assess SMEs

  • provide advice or coaching unless service is inherently offered

  • promise funding or procurement

  • influence institutional decisions


Decision authority always remains with institutions.

Why Partners Matter

Trusted partners ensure that:


  • SME operational data is accurate and current

  • Participation is ethical and well-understood

  • Evidence is repeatable and longitudinal

  • Institutional users can rely on outputs


This protects the integrity of the intelligence infrastructure.

Who This Is For

This partnership is suited to organisations that:


  • prioritise responsible SME engagement

  • understand institutional decision environments

  • value evidence, decision grade intelligence over advocacy

  • can operate within clear governance boundaries
