For Consultants
Your stakeholder map and your database are the same thing.
Scopic gives every stakeholder, every relationship, and every funding flow its own record — and every record a place on the map.
Join waitlistThe situation
You are mapping a client's stakeholder landscape. The list lives in a spreadsheet. The influence network lives in a slide deck or Miro board. They describe the same people. They diverge the moment the engagement begins.
When you run a workshop, participants identify actors, pressures, and flows. The output is a whiteboard photograph that becomes a transcription that loses the spatial structure. The knowledge exists in one place for a few hours. Then it splits into a spreadsheet that loses the shape and a diagram that loses the data.
A relationship you can open
In Scopic, the influence between two stakeholders is a named connection with a type, a notes field, and a date. 'Funds', 'advises', 'opposes' — each a record you can open. On the map it renders as a labelled line. In the database it is a row you can sort and filter. The same relationship, two ways to see it.

Workshop output without the transcription step
When participants map in Scopic, the map they build during the session is the database after it. Every actor they identify becomes a record with the properties you defined before you started. Filter by high-leverage connections in seconds. Share the map with participants before the session ends — one link, the full structure.

Engagement list and power map from one source
Every stakeholder on the map is also a row in the database. Sort by influence level, filter by organisation, group by sector. Open any stakeholder's page and see every connection they have — who funds them, who they report to, who they advise. The engagement list and the power map are the same model.

What people say
Built a stakeholder map in Scopic for a six-month engagement. The sponsor asked for a copy. I shared a link. First time a deliverable lived in the tool I was actually using.

Used to keep a Notion stakeholder tracker and a Miro influence map that were always out of sync. In Scopic it's one model. I update a stakeholder once and both views reflect it.
1 month ago
The connection type feature changed how I do stakeholder analysis. 'Funds', 'opposes', 'is advised by' — I can filter the map to a single relation type and immediately see the power structure.
2 months ago
Workshop facilitation changed completely. Participants build the map live. By the end of the session the client has a shareable, filterable model. No transcription. No follow-up note that gets ignored.

Your stakeholder map and your database are the same thing.
The situation
You are mapping a client's stakeholder landscape. The engagement list is in a spreadsheet: names, organisations, roles, contact details. The influence network lives in a PowerPoint or Miro diagram: boxes and arrows, some labelled, most not. The two documents describe the same people and the same relationships. They diverge the moment the engagement begins.
Or you are running a workshop where participants map a system together — actors, pressures, funding flows. The output is a whiteboard photograph and a follow-up note to transcribe it. That transcription usually arrives too late to matter. When it does, it goes into a spreadsheet that loses the spatial structure, or a diagram that loses the structured data. The knowledge captured in the room exists in one place for a few hours. Then it splits.
What changes
In Scopic, the influence between two stakeholders is a connection you can name, describe, and attach a date to. On the map it is a labelled line. In the table it is a row you can sort and filter. Change a stakeholder's role once and every connection they are part of reflects it immediately. The spatial layout and the structured data stay together.
When you run a workshop in Scopic, the map participants build during the session is the database after the session. Every organisation, pressure point, or resource they identify becomes a record with properties you defined before you started. Filtering by the connections they flagged as high-leverage takes seconds. Sharing the map with participants so they can keep building between sessions takes one link.
Maps you'd build
- Stakeholder power map
Stakeholders as records with properties — organisation, role, interest level, influence level — connected by 'reports to', 'funds', 'advises', and 'opposes'. The table view shows the full engagement list. The map shows who sits where in the power structure.
- Programme funding flows
Donors, implementing organisations, and programmes, with 'funds' connections carrying grant amounts, funding periods, and conditions. Filter by donor to see the full portfolio. Filter by programme to see all funding sources.
- System mapping workshop
Actors, pressures, and bottlenecks identified by participants, with connection types and a property for the participant who named each one. After the session, filter by high-leverage connections or export the full set for the report.

Join waitlist- Stakeholder mapping
Named connections — funds, advises, opposes. Filter the map to one relationship type and see the power structure clearly.
- Workshop facilitation
The map participants build during the session is shareable before the session ends. No transcription, no follow-up document that loses the shape.
- Database and map together
Every stakeholder is a row you can sort and filter and an element on the map. One model, not two documents.
