The offer
Three questions. Five productised answers.
Assurance is not an open-ended consulting retainer. Each sub-offering has a defined input, a defined output and a defined duration, and each runs on the same engines that power Granular Data.
Assess · where you are
Diagnostic, current state
Independent measurement of where your organisation actually sits on the granular shift: for the board, the auditor, the regulator, or the AI team that needs to know what data is fit for purpose.
- Strategic assessment
- Position on the granular shift, gaps to PCAF, ISSB and MAS 610. Output: assessment report and board pack.
- AI readiness
- Data and model readiness for AI deployment in regulated contexts. Output: readiness scorecard and risk register.
Simulate · where you could be
Forecast, scenario
Model what happens to portfolio emissions, operational metrics or compliance position under different interventions: capex sequencing, target setting, divestment, technology adoption.
- Solution simulation
- Model proposed interventions against the transition roadmap. Output: scenario model and comparison brief.
- Transition roadmap
- Sequenced plan to close the gap: capex priorities, milestones, dependencies. Output: roadmap and investment memo.
Verify · prove it
Certification, audit-ready
Fast-track digital verification of compliance to ISO 14064, ISO 14067, ISO 14068, PCAF v2025, ISSB, ESRS, MAS 610 or CBAM, using the granular data already in your systems and the same audit trail an external assurer will accept.
- Digital verification
- Standards-conformance certification with full lineage. Output: verification statement and an audit pack acceptable to ISSA 5000 assurers.
Buyers
Three buyer types. Different questions. Same engines.
Assurance is bought by three groups inside a customer organisation. The sub-offering they pick, and the depth of the engagement, depends on which committee they sit on.
| Buyer | Roles | The question they arrive with | Usual starting point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Board and executive | CEO, chair, CSO, strategy | Where do we actually stand on the granular shift, and what is the path? | Strategic assessment, then transition roadmap. Often the first engagement. |
| Risk, audit and compliance | CRO, audit committee, compliance, internal audit | Can we prove what we are disclosing? | Digital verification for audit-grade certification; AI readiness for the control surfaces now being regulated. Procurement typically through the audit committee. |
| Sustainability and operations | Head of sustainability, operations, engineering | Which interventions actually move the number, and what will they cost? | Solution simulation and transition roadmap, run against live operational data. |
Engagement
Five phases, 8 to 12 weeks, named outputs.
Every phase has a deliverable you can put in front of a committee. Nothing is billed against a discovery phase that produces a slide deck.
| Phase | Duration | What happens | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scoping | 1 to 2 weeks | Standards in scope, data sources mapped, sub-offerings selected, success criteria locked, named team assembled. | Statement of work, scope memo |
| Discovery | 2 to 3 weeks | Data inventory, regulatory mapping, baseline measurement. NxOps connectors stood up against customer systems for the duration of the engagement. | Baseline data pack, gap register |
| Modelling | 3 to 4 weeks | NxMap calculations, NxPlan scenarios, verification runs against standards-conformance rule packs. Specialist review by regulator-side experts. | Calculation pack, simulation results, verification log |
| Delivery | 1 to 2 weeks | Report draft, board pack, verification statement, sample audit pack. Walk-through with the customer team and, where relevant, the external assurer. | Assessment report, board pack, verification statement |
| Handover | 1 week | Training, methodology transfer, optional transition path to Granular Data or to an ongoing assurance retainer. | Methodology pack, transition memo |
What follows
Assurance is often the front door. Two services follow.
Most Assurance customers continue. Some deploy Granular Data themselves, graduating from outcomes delivered to engines licensed. Some bring in Aligned Capital to fund the transition the Assurance work has just mapped.
Service 01
Granular Data
The Nx-Engine plus NxOps, NxMap and NxPlan. Many Assurance customers graduate to deploying Granular Data themselves, typically 12 to 18 months after their first engagement, once internal capability is built. Same engines, operated in-house.
Granular Data
Service 03
Aligned Capital
Assurance engagements surface the transitions that need capital next, which makes the capital conversation the natural follow-on.
