A disclosure can be complete on paper while still carrying unresolved evidence risk.
Broader coverage and stricter support can pull in opposite directions when publication cannot move.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I need one number the committee can stand behind, not three versions we can keep debating.”
Riyad Arslan · Head of Climate Disclosure
Leads mandatory climate reporting for a publicly listed bank facing its first financed-emissions filing.
What is at stake
A rehearsal shows 23% of the financed-emissions figure rests on modelled borrower data. The audit committee approves only one methodology, so you have to choose the evidence standard you can defend at filing.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- portfolio coverage vs. evidence quality
- filing speed vs. verification depth
- finance completeness vs. risk conservatism
- methodology consistency vs. data limitations
Why Watershed
At Watershed, this can matter when calculated emissions must withstand both formal review and external interpretation.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
