Evidence

Where these claims come from

A canon about the difference between form and function should not itself contain counterfeit evidence. Each claim used in ImpactZ carries its source, and where a case is contested it is said so.

  1. 01

    Institutions often adopt the visible form of successful systems without their function, and performance does not follow.

  2. 02

    Training transfer to on-the-job behaviour is the weak link: learning gains routinely fail to reach practice and results.

  3. 03

    Health-system results depend on the whole system, not single-component training inputs.

    Technical assistance and capacity-support operations underperform when incentives, governance and financing are unaddressed.

    Implementation outcomes depend on context, inner and outer setting, and process — not on the intervention alone.

Worked examples inside ImpactZ are labelled as illustrations for teaching where they are not drawn from a named, published case. Scores you enter are your own judgements — the tool records the evidence note and confidence level you attach to each one so that a weak basis is never mistaken for a finding.
