COMPANY INTAKE & PREQUALIFICATION
Start with your
5P diagnostic.
Assess People, Process, Product, Project and Profit. Identify material SDGs and ESG evidence gaps, record Doughnut business-design actions, and prepare for the five sustainability pathways.
Self-service pilot. Saved records are private to your signed-in account. The Excel intake follows the same 40-control structure; automatic Excel import is not enabled.
Your first preparation decision
40 controls, four gates and an accountable company scope produce a saved gap register and a provisional preparation decision.
- Define the company, period, markets and boundary.
- Record material SDGs, ESG basis and evidence status.
- Check people, planet, integrity and claims failures.
- Record five business-design workshop findings or pending actions.
- Submit prequalification, then open pillar cases.

8 controlsFrom intake to five pillars.
The diagnostic gives every pillar case a recorded starting point. Each new case retains its intake version, scope, responses and provisional decision.
Company establishes organizational controls. Product prepares technical and lifecycle records. Supplier & Supply Chain organizes due diligence and traceability. Building prepares project and asset evidence. Investment prepares governance, financial and sustainability records.
Explore all five pillarsHow prequalification works
Incomplete: finish required inputs before submission.
No-Go: a declared serious gate failure blocks new pillar cases.
Conditional: proceed with preparation while evidence gaps or unknown gates remain visible.
Go to preparation: all applicable controls are declared ready and no gate failure is declared.
All decisions are self-reported and unreviewed. Scores cannot override a serious gate failure. Independent review and certification remain separate.
SDG, ESG & BUSINESS DESIGN
Connect outcomes, evidence and action.
The intake uses the existing 5P Enterprise Good for People and Good for the Planet workbook’s 40 canonical IDs and SDG/ESG mappings. The earlier SDG Company Scorecard remains the detailed KPI baseline tool. The earlier Raworth workbook provides background for place assessment and design discussions.
Applicable laws and reporting standards must be scoped by company, market, size, sector and intended claim. A framework crosswalk is not a complete compliance checklist.
Use Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics through DEAL’s official business-design workshop. Record Purpose, Networks, Governance, Ownership and Finance findings and actions. The hub does not calculate a company Doughnut or make Doughnut certification claims.
