Service one
A rigorous diagnostic of your organisation's structural readiness for the green economy. Benchmarked against the four-layer Green Economy Standards Stack. Delivered as a formal report with scored findings, critical gaps, and a structured next-step recommendation.
What it covers
The assessment benchmarks your organisation against the Kardashev Institute's Green Economy Standards Stack — a four-layer architecture built from first principles rather than assembled from existing ESG frameworks.
Layer 1 — Non-negotiable constraints
Ecological ceilings, just transition, irreversibility
Hard limits that must be in place before any other transition activity is structurally credible.
Layer 2 — System design principles
Circularity, truthful pricing, regenerative capital
The design rules that govern how products, services, and capital decisions are structured.
Layer 3 — Institutional & financial standards
Capital compatibility, revenue resilience, governance
Whether capital structures and income models are viable under full ecological enforcement.
Layer 4 — Measurement & assurance
SDG reporting, pre-mortems, independent verification
The systems that confirm transition activity is real, measurable, and independently verifiable.
The KGETA process
Every assessment follows the six-stage KGETA methodology — a structured diagnostic process developed by the Institute to ensure findings are comparable, reproducible, and structurally grounded.
