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.
01
Institutions often adopt the visible form of successful systems without their function, and performance does not follow.

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

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.
