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:
Rights‑holder expectations: community‑anchored outcomes, consent‑aligned identity handling, and transparency on what a claim actually means.
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
(Standardized Intake + Governance + Statements)
What it does:
Standardizes submissions across all participants under the Pehta Framework
Validates, reconciles, and manages exceptions before aggregation
Produces standardized, audit‑ready Pehta Statements with methodology and controls
Preserves community attribution and supply chain tiering
Typical outputs:
Project Statement (core disclosure artifact)
Aggregated Project Statement (owner/prime view across the network)
Controls and methodology disclosures (definitions, categories, evidence differentiation)
MODULE B:
Impact Map and Economic Leakage Modeling
(Add‑On)
What it does:
Maps where project value is retained and where it leaks out of the local/regional/Indigenous economy
Visualizes spend and employment outcomes with geographic and community anchoring
Produces scenario-based insight for procurement strategy (e.g., “what changes if we shift X% of spend to local Indigenous vendors?”)
Seriousness features:
Transparent model assumptions and versioned methodology
Clear separation between measured outcomes (from source records) and modeled estimates (leakage scenarios)
Outputs designed for governance conversations and decision records, not marketing graphics
Typical outputs:
Impact Map (community‑anchored)
Leakage estimate ranges and drivers
Scenario comparisons with disclosed assumptions
MODULE C:
Insights and Performance
(Add‑On)
What it does:
Moves from “what happened” to “are we on track”
Benchmarks outcomes against commitments, project progress, and delivery stages
Identifies early warning signals (e.g., tier gaps, concentration risk, under‑performance vs plan)
Supports corrective action management across vendors and tiers
Typical outputs:
Performance view: commitments vs delivery (with progress context)
Exception heatmaps: what is missing, late, or weak-evidence
Trend analysis across periods, vendors, and tiers
Executive-ready governance summaries that remain tied to source evidence
MODULE D:
Assurance and Disclosure Pack
(Add‑On)
What it does:
Produces a structured “disclosure pack” for procurement, governance tables, and assurance support
Includes statements, definitions, evidence classifications, audit trails, and summary controls
Typical outputs:
Disclosure pack export for internal governance, clients, and oversight processes
Versioned statement archive (what was disclosed, when, and under which methodology)

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.
