Novisto evaluation checks, for every candidate
- Accountability: Assign metric ownership and review responsibility. Source

- Target interpretation: Separate data corrections from operational improvement. Source
- Reporting outputs: Test the required output and its evidence trace. Source
- Commercial scope: Obtain named modules and implementation responsibilities. Source
Leaving Novisto: what to plan for
- Time the move around a reporting cycle, not within one. The value of this kind of platform is the trace from a submitted figure back to its evidence and through review into the report, and a half-finished cycle split between two systems breaks that trace. Close and archive the period first, then export approved values, attached evidence and the history of rejections and corrections, because an assurance provider may later ask for them.
- Metric definitions are your own work product and travel badly. The record documents curated and custom metrics, target tracking and mapped data feeding Word reports, so export each metric with its boundary, period and calculation method, and keep the written reason behind every baseline correction. The report templates tied to Word will have to be rebuilt against the replacement's mapping.
- Contributors and suppliers are the people who feel a switch. Supplier survey participation and access terms are conditional here, and prior-year responses are reused in the CDP workflow, which is also described as submitted directly through an accredited API. List who answers what, how prior answers will be carried over, and whose accreditation the replacement would use for submission, and settle regional hosting, backup locations and deletion terms in the exit agreement.
Who may have reason to stay with Novisto
- The record says the product earns its cost where recurring reporting needs accountable contributors and traceable review across several datasets. If your contributors are trained, reminders and approvals are running and last cycle's evidence is in order, a change imposes retraining on many people outside the sustainability team, which can outweigh a modest feature difference.
- Breadth is the reason to stay if you use it. The record documents carbon calculation across Scope 1, 2 and 3 with all 15 Scope 3 categories, supplier surveys, double-materiality scoring and CDP questionnaires, each marked conditional on the contracted scope. List which of these you really use, because a replacement must cover each one, and several of them are what a narrow reporting tool leaves out.
- The record is itself candid about the opposite case: it is less suitable when the need is a small standalone calculation without the ownership and budget for a governed process. If that is your situation, leaving is reasonable. If it is not, note that the pricing page advertises unlimited users, data points and outputs, which matters when you compare with a candidate that prices by user.
What to test in a trial of a replacement for Novisto
- Send one metric through the whole path on the candidate: request it with a defined period and organisational boundary, upload evidence as a contributor, submit, reject an incomplete value, approve the correction and trace the approved figure into the report with its history. Run it with a reviewer who works under your normal connectivity, since offline reviewing was not established here.
- Test a supplier dataset in the candidate: request one activity dataset using the access model you would really use, check whether measured inputs, estimates and missing values are shown apart, read which emission factor and method were applied, then change an input and look at how the revised result is reviewed. Ask what the supplier sees and what they must accept to take part.
- Set a target and then break its baseline on purpose. Give an absolute or intensity target a named owner, record the baseline with its boundary and method, introduce a justified correction and watch how progress changes and whether the explanation is preserved. Separately, ask for named modules and implementation duties in the quote, since scope is what the record says to pin down.
