What we need from you
Four things, shared at setup before the project starts.
Your substances
A list with CAS numbers, or your products with their formulations or safety data sheets.
Your markets
Where you sell today, and where you plan to sell next.
Your priorities
How you rate risk today, and what makes it urgent, such as a product launch or a customer’s deadline.
Your approver
The person who agrees the scoring model and approves the heatmap.
What teams ask about this project
How is each cell scored?
Against a scoring model you set, or one Foresight drafts from your priorities for you to agree. It decides the levels, what each one is called and what puts a substance there, such as how far a measure has got, when it applies and whether it reaches your use. This heatmap uses Priority, Action, Monitor and Clear. Yours can use the scale your team already works with, such as red, amber and green or 1 to 5.
Where does the evidence come from?
From the measures themselves: official journals, legislative records, and government and agency publications. Every score links to its source, so your team can check the wording directly.
Who checks the heatmap before we use it?
The person you name. They agree the scoring model before any scoring starts, and check the scores against their sources at the end. Nothing is final until they approve it. These checks reduce the risk of error without removing it.
What happens when a regulation changes?
Foresight rescores the cells it affects. Any change that can move a score counts, such as a new proposal, an adopted text or a date that shifts. The heatmap you approved stays as it is until your expert accepts the new scores.
What does it cost?
The price follows the heatmap’s size: how many substances and markets it covers. You see it with the scope, before any scoring starts.
