Location. Is it where it is supposed to be?
We compare reported locations with evidence captured at the physical site.

Know what is
really happening
on the ground.
Goloka helps you verify assets, facilities, programmes and physical conditions using local observations, structured checks and supporting evidence.
What verification should tell you
Verification should answer more than “does it exist?”
Depending on your programme and the asset involved, we can design verification around four practical questions.
Observation. Can it be independently observed?
Contributors provide photographs, video, location information and structured observations.
Functionality. Does it work?
Where a safe functionality test can be defined, we capture evidence of whether it is operational.
Utility. Is it serving the intended population?
Verification can include service observations or supporting evidence from intended users.

◇How Verify works
You define what needs checking. We help you verify it.
You share what needs verifying.
Send us your asset list, programme records, locations or the conditions you want independently checked.
We agree what counts as proof.
We define the evidence required for each item, including GPS, timestamps, photographs, video, structured questions, functionality checks or community corroboration.
We deploy the verification.
Appropriately located and qualified contributors receive clear instructions on what must be observed and recorded.
We review the evidence.
Submissions are checked against the agreed criteria. Unclear or inconsistent evidence can be flagged for review or rechecking.
You receive a verification record.
Receive connected evidence linked to the relevant asset, facility, location, programme or reported condition.
What you can verify
One study can go beyond survey responses.
Collect more than answers with GPS, photos, video, audio and other field evidence built into the study.
Asset or location reference
Identifies exactly what was verified.
GPS coordinates
Confirms where the evidence was captured.
Date and timestamp
Shows when the observation took place.
Photographs or video
Provides visual evidence from the site.
Verification questions
Records findings against the agreed checks.
Functionality observations
Shows whether the asset or service is working.
Quality assurance status
Indicates whether the evidence passed review.
Reviewer notes
Adds context from the verification process.
Previous observations
Shows what changed across repeat verification visits.
Community or beneficiary evidence
Provides supporting local corroboration where needed.
From one visit to a history
The value increases when you can see what changed.
A single verification tells you what was observed on a particular day. Repeat verification can show whether an asset remained functional, whether a programme progressed or whether local conditions changed.
Where the engagement allows it, observations can be linked to the same asset or place over time rather than treated as unrelated field visits.

Questions clients commonly ask
What clients need to know before collection begins.
Yes. Share the asset list and locations, and we will assess network coverage, access, sample requirements and the most practical verification plan.
Yes, where a safe and appropriate functionality test can be clearly defined. We agree the evidence required before deployment.
Yes. Repeat verification can link observations to the same asset or place over time so changes can be tracked.
Yes. Existing identifiers and records can form the verification register, subject to a review of structure, completeness and location data.
Reach out to us
Start with a manageable pilot.
Send us a sample of the assets, facilities or locations you want to verify. We will propose an evidence standard, methodology and pilot scope so you can see how the approach works before expanding it.
