The people behind it.

Simon Glenister
Founder and CEO of Noise Solution, one of the UK's most research-active music mentoring social enterprises. Sixteen years developing the theoretical foundation, measurement methodology, and data-led practice that Transceve is built on. A tireless advocate for rigorous impact evidence in the third sector, and for the young people whose voices have too often been reduced to a number on a form.
We didn't set out to build an AI company. We set out to answer a question our sector has been asking for decades:
How do you measure something as fundamentally human as the change that happens when one person genuinely supports another?
Why we built it
Third sector organisations do extraordinary work with some of the most vulnerable people in society. But the tools available to evidence that work (self-report questionnaires, outcomes stars, tick-box forms) are often blunt, burdensome, or both. Worst of all, they ask the people we support to do the evidencing.
We knew there was something better in the conversations themselves. We spent sixteen years building the research foundation, the measurement methodology, and the organisational culture that could genuinely capture what was happening in those conversations. Transceve is the technology layer that finally makes it scalable.
The technology
Transceve uses custom-trained language models to analyse audio, video, and written evidence against Self-Determination Theory, the most empirically validated framework for understanding human motivation and wellbeing. Every analysis produces scores for Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness, along with the actual quotes from the people you support that back those scores up.
But the technology is only half the story. Transceve is built on a governing social contract that shapes every engineering decision: bias mitigation at the model layer, data sovereignty in EU-only infrastructure, and environmental impact tracked on every single analysis.
Where we're going.
Transceve is used by early adopter organisations today and will be generally available to the UK third sector from summer 2026. Here is what's coming next.
Framework modules
Plug-in modules for organisations already using WEMWBS, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, and Outcomes Star, so Transceve works alongside your existing measurement approach, not instead of it.
Social Value reporting
A Social Value International aligned reporting module for SROI-based evidence, enabling organisations to map BPN outcomes directly to recognised social value frameworks and commissioner expectations.
Acoustic analysis
Research-grade integration with vocal biomarker analysis (pitch, speech rate, pause patterns, and energy markers) as an additional evidence layer alongside transcription and language analysis.
Portfolio analytics
Cross-programme insight for multi-site organisations: compare BPN outcomes across teams, locations, and time periods from a single portfolio dashboard.
Mobile recording
Capture sessions directly in Transceve on mobile. No separate recording device needed. The evidence pipeline starts the moment the conversation ends.
"If you work in the third sector and evidence matters to you, and if you believe that AI in our sector has to be built responsibly or it shouldn't be built at all, we'd love to hear from you."Simon Glenister & Damien Ribbans · Co-founders, Transceve
Join the early adopters.
We're looking for a small number of forward-thinking organisations to shape the next phase of Transceve's development. Preferential pricing and direct product influence.
