GPM ONLINE TOOLS · FREE PREVIEW
Work through a full P5 Impact Analysis on one of four worked projects. Change any score or materiality rating and the results update under the same rules the full tool uses. Nothing you change is saved.
A short screening of your own project against the elements of the P5 Standard you choose, ending in a gate call.
Open the P5 Rapid ScanEvery impact scored against the baseline before and after a response, the no-masking rule, materiality from stakeholder significance and financial relevance, and the reports. GPM Ambassadors run the full assessment on their own projects.
WORKED SAMPLE
Degraded cattle land restored to regenerative agroforestry and wetland.
Scores run from 1 to 5. A 3 is the baseline condition, a 4 is a net improvement and a 5 is a net positive enhancement. Under the no-masking rule, an impact still at 1 or 2 holds its element, subcategory, category and the whole project at that score until a response brings it to 3 or higher. The thin marker on each bar shows the score before the response.
Material topics determined from the impact register, filtered by stakeholder significance and financial relevance. Project level: Regenerative.
