STEP 03 · DESIGN
From wellness picture to disclosure-ready playbook.
Diagnose tells you what's happening. Design tells you what to do: built for your property, your goals, and whoever's actually going to do the work.
Three steps to your ultimate disclosure playbook.
1
Initial Scoping
We walk through your diagnostic findings together, talk through your framework requirements and disclosure timeline, and define what your design actually needs to cover: what matters first for the reporting cycle ahead.
2
Design Work
Bespoke to your program. Could be focused supply chain audit recommendations for one tier of suppliers. Could be a multi-year integrated plan across restoration, baseline establishment, disclosure documentation, and framework migration.
3
Consult Visit
We walk through your finished plan together, answer questions, and confirm the path forward. From here you move into Deploy or hand the package to your existing environmental consultant, sustainability team, or assurance partner.
Six categories you can design for.
Pick as many or as few as your goals require. Each can be designed at the level of detail you actually need; from focused recommendations to full infrastructure specs.
Soil chemistry interventions across the program
The mineral amendments, fertility shifts, and chemistry corrections that drive measurable ecosystem function recovery across program parcels or supply chain regions. Specific products, rates, timing, and documentation. Built so chemistry changes are framework-defensible and audit-traceable.
Biological restoration and community recovery
Inoculants, biological amendments, microbial restoration protocols, and biodiversity-supporting interventions matched to diagnostic findings. Drives the metagenomic and species-level indicators that TNFD, SBTN, and CSRD increasingly require.
Site infrastructure and monitoring architecture
Automated infrastructure design, monitoring station placement, sensor network architecture, and water management systems where applicable. The physical infrastructure that lets the program generate disclosure-grade data through every reporting cycle.
Vegetation, restoration plantings, land cover
Plant species selection matched to ecosystem recovery goals, restoration planting sequences, native cover establishment, and supply chain region-specific revegetation. Drives the visible-from-space metrics that satellite-based ESG tools depend.
Operational and supply chain practices
Operational protocols, supply chain assurance practices, supplier engagement frameworks, and management practice changes. The practice-level shifts that materially move ESG metrics across operations and supplier relationships; documented, trained, and auditable.
The framework-aligned reporting deliverable
Sampling cadence, lab protocol, QA/QC documentation, chain of custody, framework crosswalk, and submission templates. Built around your target framework (TNFD LEAP, CSRD ESRS E4, SBTN, GRI, SASB) so disclosure submission is integrated into operations, not bolted on at deadline.
✽ Your path, your choice
Edapho design pathways
Designed for Edapho to deploy.
We build the plan knowing our team will execute it. Streamlined documentation. Internal coordination with sampling teams and lab partners. You stay focused on framework strategy, board communication, and stakeholder engagement while we run the field execution and data trail maintenance.
Fits programs where:
- Sustainability team wants single-vendor accountability
- Internal field execution capacity is limited
- Multi-region or supply chain consistency matters
- Speed to disclosure submission is critical
Designed for you to deploy.
We build the plan knowing your environmental consultant, field sampling team, or in-house ecology staff will execute. Contractor-ready protocols. Sampling design with grid templates. Lab routing specifications. Quality control documentation. We stay engaged for milestone testing, framework consultation, and disclosure submission support.
Fits programs where:
- You have established consultant or sampling partner relationships
- Internal environmental or ecology capacity is strong
- Long-term cost control across multi-year cycles matters
- You want full data trail and framework IP ownership
What's in your Design package.
A real document, designed like everything else we deliver. The exact contents depend on the categories and depth you chose during scoping.
Your Design Document Deliverable 01
A comprehensive plan built around your diagnostic findings, your target framework, and your disclosure obligations. Designed program-by-program, not assembled from templates.
Intervention Specifications Deliverable 02
For every category at Product Design or above: specific interventions with rates, sources, timing, and sequencing. Built for the acreage, supply chain regions, or program parcels you actually have, not generic recommendations.
Sampling & Monitoring Plan Deliverable 03
If your design includes Structure or Disclosure: stratified sampling grid, monitoring station placement, sensor architecture, statistical confidence design, and program-compliant sampling documentation. Built to be field-ready and framework-acceptable.
Implementation Sequence Deliverable 04
The order things happen in, and why. Year one priorities, multi-year transitions, framework reporting milestones; aligned to your disclosure cycle and your program calendar.
Disclosure Framework Package Deliverable 05
The framework-defense document set. TNFD LEAP crosswalk, CSRD ESRS data mapping, SBTN baseline templates, GRI indicator alignment, and whatever framework you're reporting under, the documentation system that connects raw lab result to disclosed metric is built in.
Re-Test & Reporting Cycle Schedule Deliverable 06
When to re-test, what to measure, what milestones align with your disclosure cycle, and what triggers a program adjustment. So you can hold us, or your consultants, to predictions across every reporting cycle.
What Comes After
From plan to action.
Once your design is in hand, Deploy is where it becomes real. Our crew implementing what you've planned. Our sampling teams in the field on your reporting cadence. Your data trail building toward disclosure submission and the framework alignment that follows.
