Overview
The Results step turns your scoring into a decision: which topics are material for your company, and why. You'll find a summary of material topics and IROs, a visual matrix, adjustable thresholds, and a detailed table you can filter and export.
Key benefits / use cases
See at a glance which topics are material, and from which perspective (impact, financial, or both)

Filter and export the full IRO-level detail behind your results
Check your headline counters
At the top of the Results step, two counters summarize your assessment: the number of Material topics and the number of Material IROs. These update automatically as you adjust your thresholds.
Read the double materiality matrix
The matrix plots each of your 10 ESRS topics as a numbered bubble, positioned by its aggregated score on two axes:
Impact materiality score (horizontal axis, 0 to 100)
Financial materiality score (vertical axis, 0 to 100)
Each topic's score is calculated by aggregating the scores of all its underlying IROs.
Dashed lines split the matrix into four quadrants:Not material: below both thresholds
Impact material: above the impact threshold only
Financially material: above the financial threshold only
Double material: above both thresholds
Hover over any bubble to see its exact impact and financial scores (for example,Climate Change: Impact 0, Financial 91.5). The legend below the matrix lists all topics grouped by Environmental,Social, and Governance, with their material or not material status.
Use the materiality thresholds
Two threshold selectors sit above the matrix: Impact Materiality and Financial Materiality, each set on a scale from 1 to 5. Both default to 3, a level based on recognized audit standards (SEC SAB 99 and ISA 320) that flags a maximum-severity event as material from roughly a 1-in-10 chance of occurring.
Moving either threshold immediately redraws the quadrant lines on the matrix and can reclassify topics into a different quadrant. Use this to test how sensitive your results are to your risk appetite, and to document why you chose your final cutoff.
💡 Thresholds apply globally, one setting per axis for your whole assessment. You can't currently set a different threshold for individual topics.
Use the IRO table and export your results
Below the matrix, a table lists your results at the topic, sub-topic, and IRO level. Three tabs let you switch perspective:
All IROs: every IRO in your assessment
Impact materiality: IROs viewed from the impact perspective
Financial materiality: IROs viewed from the financial perspective
Each row shows the Topic,Name,IRO type,Materiality score,Severity/Magnitude, and Likelihood. Use the search bar to find a specific IRO by name, or click Filter to narrow the table by Relevance,IRO type,Status,Materiality,Value chain area, or Topic.
Once you have the view you need, click Export and choose XLSX or CSV to download the table for your report or for your auditors.
FAQs
Why did a topic move to a different quadrant after I changed a threshold?
The quadrants are defined by your thresholds. Moving a threshold redraws the quadrant lines, which can push a topic's bubble into a different quadrant even though its score hasn't changed.
Can I set a different threshold for a specific topic?
Not currently. Thresholds apply globally, one setting per axis across your entire assessment.
What's the difference between the impact score and the financial score?
The impact score reflects a topic's impact materiality (its effect on people and the environment). The financial score reflects its financial materiality (its effect on your company's finances). A topic can be material on one, both, or neither.
What formats can I export my results in?
XLSX and CSV.
Does exporting or filtering change my actual scores?
No. Filtering and exporting only change what you see or download. Your underlying scores are unaffected.
