Technology that thrives

in a safe and just space

FRAMEWORK

Economist Kate Raworth’s book “Doughnut Economics” describes the space where humanity thrives: above a social foundation everyone deserves, below an ecological ceiling the planet can bear.

We apply that compass to enterprise technology. Doughnut-Aligned Architecture is our assessment framework: twenty criteria that score how weak an orgranization’s platforms and AI operate in that space.

Regenerative by Design

Does your architecture waste less than it creates? Cloud cost discipline (FinOps), right-sized AI models, carbon-aware infrastructure, technical-debt control.

Distributive by Design

Does the value reach everyone it should? Accessibility, affordable tiers, data you can take with you, supplier diversity, knowledge transfer so capability stays with your people?

Systems & Governance

Can you steer it? Architecture review, feedback loops that measure social and ecological results alongside cost, stakeholder voice in design, resilience whether you grow or hold steady.

How it works: each criterion is scored 1-5 in a structured 60-90 minute review. You see your profile on a single radar chart - strongest dimension, weakest, and the roadmap that follows. The framework is the spine of our Ai Readiness Assessment.

Social Foundation

Does your technology protect the people it touches? Responsible AI governance, bias and transparency testing, privacy, workforce augmentation over silent displacement, security.
