How to interpret and use i5Benchmark results.

Version 1.2 Last updated 8 September 2026
Using the demonstrationThe i5 Readiness Mapper uses fictional data to illustrate an assessment workflow. The sections below explain evidence review, certification, compliance and decision use.

1. Positioning

The i5Benchmark Framework and its assessment methodology are in development on the basis of Foundational Design Charter Draft 0.9. Sustainable Intelligence ASBL leads Framework development, research and methodology. SUSTIN C.I.C. leads technology development and practical implementation. Sustainable Intelligence ASBL is registered in Belgium; SUSTIN C.I.C. is registered in the United Kingdom. i5Benchmark does not claim endorsement by the European Union, any national authority, standards organisation or certification body.

2. Prototype configuration

The public Mapper uses the Prototype Mapper Configuration — September 2026, maintained separately from Framework versions. It illustrates the workflow with sample values.

3. Self-reported information

Results depend on the declared scope, and on the knowledge, interpretation and candour of respondents. An evidence rating is a self-rating unless a separate, appropriately qualified review has been undertaken. Marking an evidence item as reviewed does not mean the result itself has been independently verified.

4. No certification

No result, finding, report or platform statement grants certification, conformity, accreditation or permission to use a certification mark.

5. No legal compliance claim

The framework does not test all requirements applicable to any organisation or jurisdiction. Users must obtain qualified legal, regulatory, technical and assurance advice where needed.

6. Standards references

Mappings to standards and frameworks are interpretive, high-level and non-exhaustive. They are not legal or certification advice, do not establish equivalence, and do not reproduce proprietary standard text.

7. Decision use

Results are best used to structure dialogue, identify evidence needs and prioritise further investigation. Do not use a result as the sole basis for investment, employment, procurement, regulatory or public-policy decisions.

8. Demonstration data

Organisation and comparison figures in the demonstrations are fictional and labelled at the point of display.

9. Publication

Organisation results are not published by i5Benchmark without explicit, documented consent and appropriate context.
