This guide walks the full golden path: create your account and organization, set up a project, deploy a field reporter, review their first report, and share a donor-ready impact page.

​
Prerequisites

  • A modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge)
  • At least one person who can act as a field reporter (a teammate works fine for your first run)

​
The golden path

1

Create your account

Go to app.mirage.partners and sign up with your email or Google account. First-time users land on a welcome screen that points you to organization setup.
2

Create your organization

Give your organization a name, description, website, location, and contact details, and upload a logo if you have one handy. You’re automatically added as a steward, the admin role that manages everything else in this guide.See Create your organization for the full walkthrough.
3

Create your first project

From your organization’s Projects page, create a project: a title, a short summary, a location, and the metrics you want to track (for example “Wells dug” or ”% of households with clean water access”).Metrics are the backbone of everything downstream. Defining metrics explains the options.
4

Create a reporting task

Inside the project, create a reporting task: the work unit your field reporters respond to. Write clear instructions, add the questions you want answered, and toggle which evidence you need: photos, video, or audio.See Reporting tasks.
5

Deploy your field reporters

From your organization’s People page, generate a 6-character invite code and share it with your reporters: in person, over SMS, or as a printable QR card. Reporters join at report.mirage.partners by entering the code, and your tasks appear on their dashboard immediately.See Team & field reporters.
6

Review the first submission

When a reporter submits, the report shows up in your organization’s Approvals queue. Mirage’s AI will have already analyzed the evidence and proposed metric values with confidence scores. Review the answers and media, then approve or reject each proposed contribution; only approved data counts toward your project metrics.See Reviewing reports.
7

Generate and share a donor report

From the project page, generate a donor report. Mirage assembles your approved metrics, verified photos, and an AI-written narrative into a polished public page. Copy the link and send it to a donor, no login required on their end.
Generated donor report page

The payoff: a public, donor-ready impact page built from your verified field data.

See Generating donor reports.
That’s the whole loop: evidence in from the field, verified metrics out to donors. Everything else in these docs is depth on the steps above.
