Solution intro

Start from industry-specific issue recommendations, automate survey distribution and collection, and visualize responses as a priority matrix. With the methodology documented in data, a months-long consulting project becomes an in-house capability.

Common challenges in materiality work

“Too many standards, unclear priorities”

Material issues differ by industry, and there is no starting point built for yours.

“Stakeholder input takes too long”

Manual survey rounds take weeks, and response rates rarely clear 20%.

“Consulting quotes run to tens of thousands of dollars”

An assessment that repeats every year is expensive to outsource every time.

“Double materiality needs a method we don't have”

CSRD requires parallel financial and impact assessment, and there is no in-house framework for it.
