1. Your invoices 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
Your invoices, and some questions
Noria does not ask you to collect anything. You upload your supply and energy invoices: the platform derives most of the 27 indicators from them. For the rest, a guided assistant asks you the questions, one at a time.
Allow ten minutes for a sole trader, two hours for a larger SME: uploading the invoices, answering the assistant's questions, then reviewing with us.
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 documents, so you can prepare them, or decide this is not the moment.
An hour to read it together
You arrive with your invoices and the compass is already filled: we walk through it together, you ask your questions, and we test one or two transition scenarios.
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. Noria 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 Noria 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: Noria 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 remaining answers 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?
It depends on the size of the business: ten minutes for a sole trader, up to two hours for a larger SME, invoices and questions included. The session with us lasts about an hour. If your invoices are not to hand, we can split it 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.
