The Problem

ESG diligence hasn't kept pace with deal velocity.

Traditional ESG consulting is slow, inconsistent, and opaque — yet committees now demand material ESG analysis on every deal. Something has to give.

i
Timelines that kill deals
Four to eight weeks for a full engagement. By the time the report lands, exclusivity has lapsed or committee dates have moved. Teams end up shipping with gut-feel ESG.
ii
Inconsistent materiality
Two analysts. Same target. Different "material" topics. Without a rigorously applied framework, every engagement starts from a blank page — no continuity, no benchmarks.
iii
Unauditable conclusions
When the committee pushes back, can you show the page where the risk sits? Most ESG reports collapse under scrutiny because claims aren't traced to source documents.
The Workflow

Five phases. Your entire DD, orchestrated.

Upload your diligence package, and Gaion runs a multi-agent pipeline that mirrors how a senior ESG analyst thinks — only faster, and fully traceable.

01
Capture · Target
Company input & document upload
Provide the target's GICS classification and geography. Upload sustainability reports, 10-Ks, technical DD, board packs, and regulatory filings — each tagged by type to route information to the right agent.

Analyse · Multi-Agent Run
Parallel E · S · G analysis
A Classifier routes every ESG signal to the right pillar. Environmental, Social, and Governance analysts work in parallel, each assessing financial materiality against the SASB Map for the target's sub-industry. A QA Agent validates every claim.

The Architecture

Seven agents, one orchestration layer.

Each agent has a tightly scoped role. This isn't a single chatbot pretending to be an ESG analyst — it's a structured pipeline that mirrors how an high-performing ESG team divides work.

Parallel execution
E, S, and G agents run concurrently against the classified data set, cutting total runtime to a fraction of a sequential approach. Finishes in minutes, not hours.
◷
Source validation
Every risk claim carries a document name and page reference. The QA Agent flags unsupported claims before they land in the committee deck.
◉
Live web screening
The Online Screening Agent searches Glassdoor, regulators, news archives, and ESG rating agencies to surface issues not present in the uploaded materials.
The Framework

Built on the industry's standards.

Gaion uses the frameworks your committee already trusts. No proprietary scoring, no black-box ratings — just the SASB Materiality Map applied rigorously, every time.

Materiality
SASB77 industries
Every risk is scored against the SASB Materiality Map for the target's GICS sub-industry. Financial materiality drives prioritisation — not ideology.
Classification
GICS163 sub-industries
Full GICS classification hierarchy embedded in the platform. Sector-specific materiality is applied automatically once the target is categorised.
Climate
TCFDaligned
Physical and transition climate risks follow TCFD categorisation. Scenario analysis and stranded asset exposure surfaced where applicable.

FAQ

Answers for due-diligent buyers.

Traditional ESG DD takes 4–8 weeks, costs six figures, and produces reports that vary by analyst. Gaion runs the same SASB-aligned analysis in under 30 minutes, with every claim traceable to the source document. You get institutional-grade output at a fraction of the timeline.
Gaion uses the SASB Materiality Map as its primary framework, combined with GICS sector classification and TCFD-aligned climate risk categorisation. Online screening pulls from MSCI ESG Ratings, Sustainalytics, and CDP where publicly available.
Documents are processed in-session and are not retained beyond your active project. Each project is stored only in your local browser. For enterprise deployments with shared workspaces, audit logging, and data residency options, speak with our team.

Currently PDF only — sustainability reports, 10-Ks, board packs, technical DD reports, climate risk assessments, and regulatory filings. Each document is tagged by type to help agents route information correctly.
Private equity, credit funds, and M&A teams who need institutional-grade ESG analysis on deal timelines. Built for analysts who are tired of waiting six weeks for a consultant report that still leaves the committee unsatisfied.
