Eight scores. Zero interpretation required.

Charities with enough evidence are scored across eight intelligent measures; the rest are labelled not scored. Each is an evidence-led proxy, not an audited measure, with breakdowns, history and peer benchmarks available from your account.

Trust

Depth and consistency of public evidence, governance and transparency standing.

Independence

Funder and grant diversification, freedom from single-backer dependence.

Cause neglect

Whether the cause and area is under-served rather than saturated.

Significance

Scale and reach relative to peers, beneficiary need and cause severity.

Execution strength

Operational and financial delivery capacity, continuity and stability.

Impact plausibility

Whether the stated work credibly turns into real delivery.

Hidden Gem

Quality higher than the charity's visibility would suggest.

Funding efficiency

Deployment quality of spending and directional financial health.

Common questions

Does this cover all Scottish charities or just a subset?
Every charity registered with OSCR is ingested. Intelligent scores are computed for charities that pass the quality bar, those with sufficient evidence to produce a meaningful score. The rest are still available in the dataset, with the fields that can be populated.
How is this different from searching OSCR directly?
OSCR gives you registration data and annual filings. Dana House adds eight intelligent scores (Trust, Independence, Underserved cause, Significance, Execution strength, Impact plausibility, Hidden Gem, Funding efficiency) built from underlying signals, peer benchmarks, cause classification, financial health signals, and full-text evidence extraction from annual reports. You get a decision-ready layer, not a data dump.
Can I export just Scottish charities?
Yes. The CSV export and API both accept a jurisdiction filter. Set regulator=OSCR or jurisdiction=scotland and you get only Scottish charities, with all available score fields included.
Are scores comparable across Scotland, England & Wales, and Northern Ireland?
The scoring methodology is consistent across all three registers. Peer benchmarks are computed within jurisdiction and cause area, so a Scottish mental health charity is benchmarked against other Scottish mental health charities - not against a much larger English pool.
