1. Your figures 2. Guided session 3. Your compass
Request your first compass.
We build it with you in one session. You leave with your three pillars, your points of fragility and one action path — whether or not you continue with us.
What we ask for
Seven figures you already own
Archimede does not ask you to collect anything: the seven figures below come from documents you already produce. They are enough to build the compass — the remaining 27 indicators are derived from them.
Allow about two hours: gathering the figures, then entering and reviewing them with us. Seven indicators fill themselves in, from data we already hold.
How it runs
Four steps, one hour
You send this request
Two minutes. The form tells us who you are and where you stand; it saves us making you lose time on scoping questions.
We reply within one working day
With a suggested time and the list of figures, so you can prepare them — or decide this is not the moment.
A session of about an hour
We enter your figures with you. You watch the compass take shape, you ask your questions, and we test one or two transition scenarios together.
You leave with your compass
Your three pillars, your nine sub-groups, your points of fragility and one action path. If you do not continue, you keep the reading: that is what a first filter means.
What this is not
Three things we will never promise
- Neither an audit nor a compliance exercise. Archimede is a first physical-safety filter. It tells you where to look; it does not replace regulatory expertise where that is required.
- Neither a label nor bank recognition. No document produced by Archimede counts as evidence with any organisation. That is not our business, and we will not let it be believed.
- Nor a judgement on your company. We point out fragilities to help you steer. You remain the captain: Archimede does not decide your course.
Questions
Before you ask
I have no carbon assessment. Does that block me?
No. Scope 2 is the only optional item: your energy bills are enough to estimate it, and we do that with you during the session. The other six figures come from your accounts.
Who sees my data?
We do, and you do. Your compasses are not published, comparisons between companies are anonymised, and you remain the owner of what you enter. No data is resold or used for another client.
How long does it really take me?
About an hour in total: half of it gathering the figures, half of it in the guided session. If you do not have them to hand, we can split the session in two.
What if I disagree with the result?
That is expected, and it is the point of a first filter: better to discover a fragility now than at the moment a lender refuses. The transition scenarios exist precisely to test other courses.
I advise companies rather than running one. Is that possible?
Yes, and it is an intended use: the Business plan manages several organisations confidentially, so each client only sees their own compass. We adapt the demonstration to a portfolio rather than to a single company.
Still hesitating? Look at a real case first.
