Pehta Integrity - Enterprise Intelligence

The governance, analytics, and disclosure platform that turns Indigenous impact reporting into compliance‑grade outcomes you can stand behind.

Pehta Integrity operationalizes the Pehta Framework (Indigenous Community Benefit Disclosure Standard) across the full, contiguous supply chain. It standardizes how participants submit data, validates it before aggregation, and produces defensible, audit‑ready statements for the stakeholders who carry accountability for project success.

From reporting to disclosure: standard + evidence + governance

Most Indigenous impact reporting fails at the moment it matters—when outcomes are tested by rights‑holders, executives, procurement teams, auditors, regulators, owner‑reps, or institutional stakeholders. The problem is not effort. It’s the absence of a disclosure standard, evidence differentiation, and governance controls that can withstand scrutiny.

Pehta Integrity solves that by combining:

  • A disclosure standard governed independently by Indigenous rights‑holders (the Pehta Framework, stewarded at arm’s length by the Pehta Foundation)

  • A controlled data pipeline that uses canonical source records (accounting, payroll, procurement systems) rather than uncontrolled spreadsheets

  • A governance layer (permissions, attestations, validations, audit trails, versioned definitions and methodology) that makes disclosures defensible and comparable

Pehta Integrity is how project teams move from “we reported” to “we can prove it.”

Built for the parties who carry accountability

Pehta Integrity is designed for organizations with a material interest in project success and Indigenous outcomes, including:

  • Project owners and proponents (public and private)

  • Prime/general contractors managing multi‑tier delivery

  • Major suppliers and tier‑one contractors responsible for vendor networks

  • Funders, insurers, owner’s reps, and oversight partners who need controlled observer visibility

  • Rights‑holder governance tables where disclosure credibility must be earned, not asserted

It’s also designed to satisfy two realities at once:

  1. Rights‑holder expectations: community‑anchored outcomes, consent‑aligned identity handling, and transparency on what a claim actually means.

  2. Institutional requirements: comparability, traceability, definitions, controls, and disclosure artifacts that hold up in governance and procurement environments.

One contiguous supply chain, one disclosure logic

Projects are not a single organization—they are a network. Indigenous outcomes occur across tiers, subcontractors, suppliers, and time. Pehta Integrity coalesces that network into one controlled reporting environment so outcomes are not lost, inflated, duplicated, or distorted.

Core supply chain capabilities:

  • Contiguous tier coverage: supports Direct (Tier 1) and Indirect (Tier 2+) contributions so “missing-tier reporting” becomes visible

  • Vendor lineage: maintains the relationship chain between who paid, who received, and where value flowed

  • Standardized submissions: one method, one format, one set of definitions aligned to the Pehta Framework

  • Validation and reconciliation: identifies anomalies at the source before they become project‑level reporting risk

  • Exception workflows: flags gaps, inconsistencies, and evidence weaknesses for resolution and sign‑off

  • Community anchoring: preserves attribution to the Indigenous communities where impact occurs, then aggregates without erasing that anchor

This is the foundation for statements that are comparable across projects and defensible when reviewed.

A disclosure control environment—designed for scrutiny

Pehta Integrity is not a dashboard. It is a governance layer for disclosure. That means it is built around controls that reduce interpretation risk, privacy exposure, and credibility loss.

Governance and control features include:

  • Role‑based access: permissions aligned to responsibility (submitter, reviewer, approver, observer)

  • Segregation of duties: supports review and approval workflows before aggregation and publication

  • Attestations: supports explicit confirmation that submitted data is complete, accurate, and sourced from canonical systems for the reporting period

  • Audit trails: logs of submissions, changes, approvals, and statement versions

  • Definitions and methodology discipline: standardized categories, evidentiary differentiation, and versioned methodology so changes are visible and explainable

  • Consent‑aligned identity handling: sensitive Indigenous identity information is managed using consent-based approaches aligned to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC), with the ability to withdraw consent where applicable

  • Controlled disclosure outputs: statements and observer dashboards present outcomes, definitions, and controls—not raw vendor accounting and payroll records

For procurement and government contexts, this is the difference between “impact reporting” and “impact disclosure.”

Share what matters—with control

Complex projects require shared visibility. But uncontrolled data sharing creates privacy exposure and reporting risk. Pehta Integrity enables controlled observer access for parties with a material interest in project success, without turning the platform into a raw-data repository for everyone.

Observer access can be configured for:

  • Owners and owner’s reps

  • Funders and oversight partners

  • Program administrators and governance committees

  • Assurance and audit support (where authorized)

Observers can access:

  • Aggregated outcomes and standardized statements

  • Progress and performance indicators

  • Exception status (what’s missing, what’s unresolved, what’s been signed off)

  • Definitions, methodology, and evidence classification that explain how disclosures were produced

Observers do not receive:

  • Raw payroll exports

  • Vendor accounting ledgers

  • Uncontrolled datasets outside their authorized scope

This creates transparency without sacrificing governance.

A platform with modules—so you can scale from disclosure to insight

Pehta Integrity is modular. Start with compliance‑grade disclosure, then add analytics modules that support better decisions and earlier risk detection.

MODULE A:

Integrity Core

The standard, controls, and proof behind every Pehta metric.

Integrity Core standardizes project submissions across the supply chain, validates and reconciles records, and produces Pehta Statements that are audit-ready by design. It preserves tiering and community attribution so every outcome remains traceable to source evidence.

  • Standardized intake across vendors, tiers, and projects under the Pehta Framework

  • Validation, reconciliation, and exception management before aggregation

  • Statement-grade outputs with versioned methodology and evidence classification

MODULE B:

Impact Map (Add‑On)

See where impacts land—by community, region, and supply chain.

Impact Map visualizes procurement and employment outcomes across Canada, anchored to communities and regions. It shows concentration, retention, and leakage patterns, and supports scenario exploration for procurement and supplier development decisions.

  • Community-anchored maps for employment, procurement, and retention/leakage

  • Drilldowns by tier, vendor, category, and time period

  • Scenario comparisons with transparent assumptions and methodology

MODULE C:

Insights and Performance (Add‑On)

Move from disclosure to performance management.

Insights and Performance turns reporting into action. It benchmarks delivery against commitments, tracks progress over time, and flags early risks like tier gaps, weak evidence, and under-performance—while keeping every view tied back to source records.

  • Commitments vs delivery tracking with progress and stage context

  • Trend views across projects, vendors, tiers, and periods

  • Exception heatmaps and corrective action workflows with accountability

MODULE D:

Economic Leakage (Add‑On)

Quantify what stays local—and what flows out.

Economic Leakage Modelling produces reconciled, statement-grade leakage reporting for procurement and employment. It separates measured outcomes from scenarios, and breaks leakage into actionable drivers—occupations, trades/categories, tiers, and distance bands.

  • One-page Economic Leakage Statement (retention vs outflow, Indigenous vs non-Indigenous)

  • Driver analysis by occupation, goods/services category, tier, and geography

  • Scenario outputs for “what changes if…” decisions with disclosed assumptions

MODULE E:

Skills, Trades, and Training Alignment Module (Add‑On)

Turn labour demand into training and capacity insights.

This module links NOC 2021 occupations to OaSIS skills and to Red Seal / provincial trades to identify what skills and trades exist locally—and what drives employment leakage. It supports workforce planning conversations with ESDC and program owners.

  • Skills and trades profiles by project, region, and community

  • Gap analysis of missing vs present skills driving leakage

  • Portfolio views to align upcoming projects with training and capacity priorities

How Pehta Integrity operates on a live project

Step 1: Set the disclosure requirement
Embed Pehta Framework-aligned disclosure requirements into procurement and subcontract documents so every participant reports the same way.

Step 2: Onboard the supply chain
Participants are onboarded by role, tier, and project scope. Submissions are standardized from day one.

Step 3: Ingest canonical source records
Submissions are built from source systems (accounting/payroll/procurement records) for the defined reporting period.

Step 4: Validate and reconcile before roll‑up
The platform flags anomalies and gaps before aggregation, with exception workflows to resolve issues at the source.

Step 5: Govern and publish controlled disclosures
Statements are produced with disclosed definitions and methodology, supported by audit trails and approval workflows.

Step 6: Share controlled observer visibility
Authorized observers access aggregated outcomes and statement artifacts within their scope—without uncontrolled raw data distribution.

Why owners, primes, and governments are moving toward disclosure‑grade systems

Indigenous outcomes increasingly influence procurement decisions, project approvals, benefit agreement governance, investor scrutiny, and reputational risk. As soon as the stakes rise, narrative reporting fails. The question becomes simple: can the disclosure withstand review?

Pehta Integrity is built for that moment:

  • Standardized: one disclosure standard governed independently of corporate preference

  • Evidence‑backed: sourced from canonical records with traceability

  • Comparable: consistent definitions across projects and time

  • Governed: role-based access, attestations, approvals, and audit trails

  • Decision‑useful: optional modules that identify leakage, performance risk, and corrective actions early

This is how Indigenous impact reporting becomes credible to rights‑holders and decision‑useful to institutions—at the same time.

Security and data governance designed for sensitive contexts

Pehta Integrity is built for environments where privacy, identity, and procurement data require disciplined controls.

Key practices include:

  • Role‑based permissions and controlled observer access

  • Audit trails and versioning

  • Consent‑aligned identity handling (FPIC-aligned approach, with withdrawal where applicable)

  • SOC 2 Type I controls via the underlying platform

  • Data minimization: disclosures and aggregates are shared, not raw payroll and accounting exports

Move from reporting to proof

If you need Indigenous impact disclosures that hold up in federal, owner, and prime contractor governance environments, Pehta Integrity provides the standard, the evidence pipeline, and the controls.
