WorldbyFlow for heads of sustainability

Every solution in the sustainability market arrives with a claim, and most claims are self-reported. WorldbyFlow grades them as demonstrated, independently replicated, self-reported or asserted without evidence, and grades corporate pledges against the record the same way, so your strategy rests on what has actually been shown.

Where this fits in your week

Owning sustainability strategy and disclosure means judging technologies, peers and your own commitments against evidence. The scans here do the judging: a readiness grade on a solution, a track record on a peer's pledges, a regulatory map of the disclosure rules with status honesty, a read on an intervention, and a literature review on the question your board keeps asking.

Lead scan

Solution Readiness

3 credits · in-depth · about 2–4 min

A solution's claims graded as demonstrated, independently replicated, self-reported or asserted. Green steel and direct air capture, read honestly.

Try it on: a subject you already hold an opinion about, so you can grade the result against what you know.

Track Record

2 credits

A company's public commitments against what the documented record shows was delivered, dated. Run it on a peer before a reporter runs it on you.

Try it on Shell's net zero targets · Unilever's sustainability pledges · Microsoft's carbon negative pledge

Regulatory Map

3 credits

The disclosure and green-claims rules with instrument, jurisdiction and authority named and status kept honest. The compliance perimeter for the report.

Try it on Corporate climate disclosure · Carbon offsets · Green claims in advertising

Solution / Intervention

2 credits

An intervention read as evidence: what it has demonstrated, what is claimed, what is unknown. Offsets and heat pumps, graded.

Try it on Carbon offsets · Green hydrogen · Direct air capture · Heat pumps

Literature Review

4 credits

What the research says on a contested question, disagreements included. Whether offsets deliver, read from the literature rather than the brochure.

Try it on Whether carbon offsets deliver real reductions · What ESG ratings measure · Whether scope 3 reporting changes behaviour
A working path

From a first run to a result you can hand over

The order matters. The first read gives you the structure; the next ones fill the parts that are hardest to source by hand.

01

Run Solution Readiness on the technology in your plan

Read the grades. A plan built on a self-reported claim is a plan with a disclosure problem waiting.

3 credits
02

Run Track Record on a peer's pledges

Promised against delivered. Then run it on your own company and read it as a journalist would.

2 credits
03

Run Regulatory Map on the disclosure rules

Proposed kept apart from in force. The perimeter for this year's report.

3 credits
04

Red Team the strategy

One pass that argues against your plan the way an activist shareholder will.

What comes back

A result whose claims carry their grades

Sourced, not asserted

Every figure and quote links to where it came from. A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up.

Verified or grounded
Reported or attributed
Contested
Open question

Ready to hand over

Export the reads as PDFs for the sustainability committee, or share them as pages the reporting team can open with each grade and source visible.

Built to be argued with

Ask a follow-up question of any result, or run a Red Team pass that tries to break its own conclusions before someone else does. How the grades work →

Will EPR laws close the textile recycling gap?

Read the research →

The strongest case against making clothing brands pay for textile recycling is France: after 18 years of per-garment fees, about 32% of textiles are collected against a legally mandated 60% target.

Run Solution Readiness on something you already know

The fastest way to judge the result is to pick a subject you know cold and read it against what you know. If a colleague sent you here with an invitation, the credits land on your account when you sign up.
