An instrument for the Board

One loop from your ESRS report to the next Board decision.

Flourish reads the sustainability report you already produce, runs your plans through six futures, and puts the money on the table before the Board fixes a target. Then operations close the distance, managers report, and the figures move. The loop starts again.

Setyou decideCalcFlourish computesRecordfrom your company recordEvery number on every page carries one of the three.
After the report

You already have the figures. What is missing is the loop.

Record

The report ends as a PDF.

Twelve months of collection, one filing, and no decision attached to it. The figures are correct and nobody acts on them.

Set

Strategy lives in slides.

The plan the Board approves does not share a single number with the report. When the two disagree, nobody notices until the next report.

Calc

Nobody owns the distance.

Between where the company stands and where it said it would be, there is no page, no owner and no rhythm. Flourish is that page.

The loop

Six steps. Three roles. One record.

Each step has one task and one owner. What you set is red. What Flourish computes is black. What comes from your record is grey.

The Board page · step 3

Plan B costs EUR 38 m less. It leaves 60 kt more CO₂e in 2027.

This is the first line the Board reads before it fixes a target. Not a score. What one plan costs, what the other buys, and in which futures each one holds.

Illustrative figures · Click a plan to read the headline against it. On your page these are your figures, from your report and your plans.

A score of 0 to 100 is not a currency. The Board sees what each plan costs, what it buys and where it holds. The score stays with the strategy model, one click away, for those who want it.

Three kinds of numbers

Red is reserved.

On every page there are exactly three kinds of values, and you see at once which is which. Red means "this is yours to set" or "this is off track". It is never decoration.

Set

You decide

The future to test. The plan to fix. The two dates. The owner of each action. The progress you report and the line of evidence.

Calc

Flourish computes

The distance to target. On track or behind. How each plan holds in six futures. The cost difference between plans. Nothing else.

Record

Your record keeps

Every figure with its source document, its period, who recorded it and when. Switch to Engine and the source stands under every number.

Illustrative figure · One row of step 1. The bar runs from the report to the target. Black is the distance closed. The red line is today. Black past the red line means on track.

Six futures

Which plan holds if the world turns out differently?

The world the plan was made for may not arrive. Flourish runs every plan through six futures: the two reference futures of the Earth4All model of the Club of Rome, each with three ways AI can go. A plan holds in a future when it stays above the line the Board set.

Illustrative scores · Hatched red: fails, below the Board's line of 55. The Board reads holds and fails and the money; the score belongs to the strategy model. Earth4All is the first strategy model in Flourish. Further models, such as the Doughnut, follow as modules.

Five rules

What keeps it honest.

1
Only the Board fixes a target.

Everyone else reads the same page and is told in words who fixes. Every fix is logged with who, when and what it replaced, so the minutes can cite it.

2
The strategy model proposes. It never writes.

Plans are proposals until the Board fixes one. Nothing a model computes goes into your record on its own.

3
Two scores are never added.

How well a plan holds and how resilient the company is answer different questions. They sit side by side. There is no blended index.

4
Every figure carries its source.

Document, period, who recorded it, when. One click from any number, for the auditor as much as for the Board.

5
What you tried and what happened are kept apart.

At the review the Board sees what it aimed for and what the record shows, figure by figure, and only then fixes the next target.

Roles and rhythm

One page per meeting. Two minutes a week.

Board
1 page per meeting

Decides

Reads where the company stands, tests the plans, fixes the next target and the final horizon. Reviews at the target date. Nothing else to learn.

Operations
1 target per part of the company

Translates

Climate, finance, supply, people, AI: each reads its own figures and its own distance, proposes actions, assigns an owner.

Managers
2 minutes a week

Report

See only their own actions. Slide how much is done, add one line of evidence, report. The figure moves, with the action attached.

Worth

What Flourish is worth.

The decision

Money on the table, before the vote.

One capex programme fixed on what it costs and what it buys instead of on a score. On the page above that is a EUR 38 m difference seen before the decision, not after.

The cycle

The report read once, used all year.

No second collection of figures for strategy, no reconciliation between the report and the plan. The report you file is the data the Board decides on.

The trail

One record the auditor can cite.

Every target, every fix, every report back with its evidence, with who and when. The minutes and the next report read from the same place.

Priced per company and year, by the modules in use. Ask us.

For the CIO

Switch to Engine.

One switch shows the source behind every number. Five things to know before anyone asks.

InputYour ESRS report as inline XBRL (XHTML), or a CSV export. Each tagged fact is read with its concept, period and unit and mapped to one figure in a register with stable keys and units.
Engine view · Scope 1 emissions · ESRS E1-6 · FY report · recorded by the ESG controller · date
Strategy modelRead-only. It reads the record and proposes. It cannot write a value into it.
Write-backOnly measured change, only by the part of the company that owns the figure, under its own name, with the action and the evidence attached. No forecast is ever written as a figure.
TenancyEach company in its own organisation. Consultants act only as members of it. Hosted in the EU.
TrailEvery value is an entry with document, period, recorder and time. Every decision is logged. Exports in CSV.
Who it is for

Built for groups that report under CSRD.

The shape of the companies in the Euro Stoxx 50 or the FTSE 100: listed or large, several thousand people, plants in more than one country, a Board that meets quarterly and a sustainability report that already costs a year of work. If that is your company, the figures are there. Flourish adds the loop.
