Story-in-Use Planner.

Put your dignified stories to work where they matter across your communication, and keep the pipeline and the consent current, so your impact is felt rather than just stated.

In Tell Your Impact Stories with Dignity, after a story is shaped and approved.

Weave stories into your communication

Story

Where it will be used

Whose consent covers this use

Refresh or retire date

case for support / appeal / website / funder report

Match the story to the moment

A story shows what your evidence proves; pair the two, the human story and the data, where you can

Use a story to open a case or an appeal, so people feel the impact before they read the argument

Keep it current

Keep gathering new stories within your standard, so you are not leaning forever on one person

Keep consent current: if a person withdraws or their situation changes, retire their story, everywhere, promptly

Never let a use outlive the consent that covered it

Stories do their work when they are felt by the right people at the right moment, and when the people in them stay protected. A living, consented set of stories, refreshed over time, keeps your impact vivid without ever overusing or outliving anyone's permission. Feeds the Case-for-Support Builder and the awareness work.
