  • Assess your evidence readiness
  • Plan mitigation strategies
  • Verify claim integrity
  • Document social licence processes

STEP 2: MAP YOUR OBLIGATIONS (5 minutes)

What it does: Identifies which Australian and international regulations apply to your operation.

How to use it:

  1. Enter what you know about your organisation:
    • Commodity type (iron ore, gold, coal, etc.)
    • Group structure (standalone, subsidiary, parent company)
    • Geographic location (state, country)
  2. Leave blank any fields you don't know
  3. Get instant results showing:
    • "May reach you": Regulations that apply at your threshold
    • "Unsettled": Regulations where it depends on additional info

What to expect: Results like "ASRS Scope 1+2 applies," "NGER applies," "GRI 305 applies"

Key insight: This tool answers "Which compliance standards do I actually need to worry about?"


STEP 3: ASSESS YOUR READINESS (8 minutes)

What it does: Tests whether you have evidence for the key requirements of each applicable regulation.

How to use it:

  1. You'll be asked ~30-50 questions like:
    • "Can you produce your Scope 1 emissions inventory?"
    • "Do you have documented community engagement for the past 3 years?"
    • "Can you provide third-party assurance of your carbon offset purchases?"
  2. For each question, answer:
    • ✅ Yes (you have it)
    • ❌ No (you don't have it)
    • ❓ Unsettled (you're not sure)
  3. Get instant readiness score showing:
    • Evidence you have (%)
    • Evidence gaps (%)

What to expect: A report showing "60% ready for NGER reporting" with gaps highlighted

Key insight: This tool answers "What evidence am I actually missing?"


STEP 4: CHECK CLAIM INTEGRITY (5 minutes)

What it does: Verifies that claims you plan to publish have backing from published sources.

How to use it:

  1. Pick a claim you want to make (e.g., "We are carbon neutral," "We operate under FPIC")
  2. The tool shows:
    • What published sources say that claim means
    • What evidence you'd need to prove it
    • What gates (requirements) stand between you and the claim
  3. The tool checks:
    • ✅ Do you have the evidence?
    • ⚠️ Are there gaps?
    • 🚫 Do you meet the definition?

What to expect: A verdict like "Carbon neutral claim is supported by 7/11 sources, gaps: offset quality"

Key insight: This tool answers "Can I actually defend this claim?"


STEP 5: EXPORT YOUR EVIDENCE PACK (3 minutes)

What it does: Creates an audit-ready export of all your answers, evidence, and citations.

How to use it:

  1. Review your answers across all tools
  2. Click "Export Evidence Pack"
  3. Choose format:
    • PDF (for auditors)
    • CSV (for your records)
    • JSON (for integration)
  4. You get:
    • Timestamped export
    • Citation backs for every claim
    • Evidence tracking
    • Gaps highlighted

What to expect: A professional document showing all your evidence, mapped to standards, ready for audit

Key insight: This tool answers "What does my audit-ready package look like?"

KEY PRINCIPLES

✅ No Benchmarks

Every figure comes from what you enter. No industry averages. No guesses.

✅ No Guessing Thresholds

If the tool can't settle a threshold, it says so. You decide, not the software.

✅ Evidence Only

The tool shows what you can produce, not whether you're compliant. Compliance is a legal question, not a math problem.

✅ Citations Everywhere

Every source mentioned in the tool is on the Standards Register. No made-up references.

✅ Privacy First

Your data stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to us. You control export.


COMMON QUESTIONS

Q: Can I skip questions?
A: Yes. Unsettled answers are recorded. The tool will show where you need to decide.

Q: How long does it take?
A: 30 min–2 hours depending on role and how much evidence you have on hand. Most people do it in 45 minutes.
