Research and experimentation are at the heart of our work at Omni. Our commitment to accelerating positive social change means applying inquiry to constantly test new approaches, asking: What if there's a better way?

That question led us to build LoMA, an AI-powered tool for logic model development. As a research and evaluation organization, we believe we have a responsibility to understand how AI tools can be utilized in our workflows to improve outcomes.  Logic models offer the right starting point: a traditional and foundational evaluation process where AI can accelerate early drafting and surface insights that time and budget constraints might otherwise leave unexplored.

Now we're ready to share what we've built. LoMA is currently available at no cost for organizations working toward social change.

What LoMA Offers

LoMA serves as your thought partner in the early stages of logic model development, helping you move from blank page to comprehensive first draft quickly:

  • Generate complete logic model frameworks - Enter your program description, goals, and activities, and LoMA produces structured logic models with inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes aligned to your work.
  • Get evidence-based indicator suggestions - LoMA recommends indicators drawn from evaluation best practices, including ones you might not have considered.
  • Explore alternative pathways - Use the regenerate feature to instantly produce different versions of your logic model, comparing approaches to find what resonates most with your program.
  • Export and share - Download your logic model in multiple formats to bring into partner meetings, grant applications, or strategic planning sessions.
  • Work at your own pace - Save your progress and return anytime. LoMA keeps your drafts secure and accessible whenever you're ready to continue.
Logic models must reflect the lived experience and wisdom of people doing the work and communities being served. LoMA is a tool in service of that goal, not a shortcut around it.

What LoMA Doesn't Replace

LoMA-generated logic models are collaborative starting points, not final products. They still require components like:

  • Community voice for cultural relevance
  • Partner input to validate assumptions and support buy-in
  • Practical human refinement and ethical review to center equity within your specific context.

You know your programs, and your judgment matters the most in your program development. Treat LoMA as a development assistant that can help you, but ultimately, you must guide the way.
