Impact Explorer

Independent Impact stores agent, activity, and impact records inside a Fluree semantic database. Fluree combines a graph data model with blockchain-style immutability, time-travel queries, and granular permissioning—making it ideal for auditable impact accounting.

How the Impact Explorer works

An AI assistant translates your questions into secure Fluree queries, explains the context behind each answer, and lets you try it out here.

Fluree-backed dataset

All public Independent Impact artefacts live in a Fluree instance that tracks provenance, version history, and access controls.

Natural language search

Ask plain-language questions about agents, methodologies, activities, and outcomes. The assistant generates the corresponding FlureeQL queries automatically.

Contextual explanations

The assistant interfaces with the Fluree MCP server to surface query results alongside narrative summaries, citations, and follow-up prompts.
