Improvability AI

What Improvability AI does

Improvability AI is a London-based, private climate-intelligence company founded in 2022 that builds AI-driven supply-chain and sustainability-verification software for large enterprises, institutional investors, and advisory firms. Its commercial core, Materially, is a multi-agent AI engine that maps supply chains from finished product to raw material origin across Tier 0–4 using 30+ parallel verification strategies drawn from customs records, regulatory filings (GLEIF, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), satellite imagery (GRACE-FO), NGO disclosures, and corporate reports; each node carries a confidence grade (A–E) with AI-only inferences quarantined for human review. The Water Risk Engine extracts corporate water claims via NLP and adjudicates them through a three-role Model Council (Synthesizer, Skeptic, Judge) cross-referenced against 7+ independent source classes (EPA ECHO, USGS, WRI Aqueduct, GRACE-FO, community signals). Adjacent offerings — ImprovOS (enterprise AI workspaces), the CBAM Calculator, the Supply Chain Exposure Map, and the Climate Tech Benchmarking Model — extend the same epistemic-AI stack into CBAM/EUDR compliance and institutional investor workflows.

Revenue is generated primarily through high-touch, client-directed intelligence reports (Water Risk Intelligence Reports and Supply Chain Exposure engagements) delivered via an enterprise field-sales motion and an event-driven thought-leadership strategy; subscription-style API access and a bilateral Climate Tech Benchmarking portal are on the roadmap but not yet commercialised. Pricing is not public and is scoped per engagement. Target segments include enterprise sustainability/ESG teams (CSRD/CSDDD compliance), COO and supply-chain operations (resilience planning), CFO and finance/risk functions (CBAM exposure), and secondary segments of institutional investors, advisory/assurance firms, and climate-tech companies. The company holds Innovate UK and Eurogia grants for the OCTD-partnered Climate Tech Benchmarking Model, has published API routes for partner integration, and curates Improvability Stacks — five directories covering 630+ companies across 56+ countries — as SEO-driven demand generation.

Revenue model

1. Client-Directed Intelligence Reports: High-value client-directed intelligence reports targeting a specific company, with agreed source boundary, claim register, source map, and Model Council verdicts. This is the first commercial product. The Water Risk Engine delivers corroboration-based Water Risk Intelligence Reports. The Supply Chain Exposure Map delivers research estimates and CBAM exposure screens.
2. API Access and Integration (Planned): Future SaaS workflow with tenant isolation, signed webhooks, sandbox data, SLAs, and self-serve views. Water Risk Engine roadmap includes API-only access with sandbox, key lifecycle, and webhook signing hardening. Supply Chain Exposure Map offers a research console for evidence-backed decisions.
3. Climate Benchmarking Portal (Planned): Bilateral portal connecting climate/energy companies with institutional investors. Companies showcase verified climate metrics; investors access curated pipeline of climate ventures with deterministic data. Government-endorsed R&D project (Innovate UK, Eurogia funded).

Core offering

Improvability AI provides AI-powered supply chain and climate intelligence to enterprises and institutional investors. Its core product, Materially, is a multi-agent AI platform that maps Tier 0–4 suppliers using 30+ parallel verification strategies (customs records, regulatory filings, satellite imagery, corporate disclosures) and scores every node across six risk dimensions with auditable A–E evidence grades. The company also offers client-directed Water Risk Intelligence Reports, a Climate Tech Benchmarking portal, a CBAM Calculator, and curated industry Stacks directories.

Product overview

Improvability AI provides intelligence infrastructure for the climate transition, consisting of a unified platform with multiple product verticals: Materially (supply chain visibility), ImprovOS (enterprise AI workspaces), Climate DD (climate due diligence with Water Risk Engine and Climate Tech Benchmarking), and Supply Chain Exposure Map (CBAM Calculator). The company also curates Improvability Stacks, a set of industry directories covering sustainability, AI, materials, climate finance, and health/biotech sectors. Products share a common epistemic AI approach that verifies corporate sustainability claims against multiple independent data sources.
