The idea

“The EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires ~50,000 companies to publish audited ESG reports starting 2025–2026, phased by company size. The reporting standard (ESRS) has 82 mandatory disclosure points across 12 topics. Companies are currently paying Big4 €80–200k for manual gap assessments just to find out what they need to report. We automate the gap assessment only — a €2,000 one-time report that ingests a company's existing documents (annual reports, HR data exports, energy bills, supplier contracts) and outputs a structured checklist: which of the 82 ESRS disclosure points they currently have data for, which they're missing, and what data they need to collect before their filing deadline. No ongoing subscription. No compliance guarantee. A document analysis tool with a clear deliverable. The buyer is the CFO's sustainability coordinator. Budget already exists — it's the Big4 assessment budget. We're not new spend, we're 40x cheaper than the current solution for the same output. OneTrust and Workiva handle ongoing reporting workflow — neither does the initial gap assessment that must happen first. 3,000 mid-market EU companies hit their first CSRD deadline in 2026. That's the entire addressable market for this version. After that it becomes a smaller recurring market for companies entering future phases. We know the window. We're not pretending it's bigger than it is.”
