Organisations run a growing number of AI use cases, and they do not carry the same consequences. Treating them alike spends effort where it changes nothing and leaves the consequential ones under-examined.
IMPACT+ sorts them, so the effort goes where the impact and the risk are. You get a structured view of who each use case affects and how severely, and what that means for the work each one deserves.
Document your system’s purpose, intended users, deployment context, and data input through a structured intake process.
IMPACT+ maps all directly and indirectly affected stakeholder groups – people, organisations, ecosystems – and assesses the nature and severity of potential harms and benefits for each.
A harm rank is assigned to each identified impact and stakeholder group across five severity levels, and mapped across six risk domains: Legal, Security, Ethics, Performance, Sustainability, Safety
Receive a clear deployment decision based on the severity and breadth of impacts identified. Every outcome comes with a supporting rationale and a defined next step.
Where a formal risk assessment is required, RISK+ picks up directly from the same use case inputs, with no duplication and no starting over.
Every IMPACT+ assessment leaves you with the same three things.
A structured view of who your AI use case affects and how severely. IMPACT+ works from the purpose, users, data and deployment context you register, rather than from abstract categories or a generic template.
The impacts that carry real consequence, separated from the ones that do not. IMPACT+ rates each impact for severity and shows where exposure concentrates, so attention goes to the groups and harms that decide whether this can proceed.
A decision you can act on, with the reasoning behind it. Every outcome states why it was reached and what follows: proceed, or a full risk assessment in RISK+, which picks up from the same inputs with no duplication and no starting over.
IMPACT+ is aligned with ISO/IEC 42005:2024, the international standard for AI system impact assessment. Every assessment covers the standard’s core requirements: AI system description and purpose, intended and unintended uses, deployment environment, relevant interested parties, benefits and harms, and foreseeable misuse scenarios.
This gives your assessment credibility beyond internal process: it is defensible to regulators, auditors, the board, customers and partners.
Every AI system you deploy carries impact. IMPACT+ makes sure you understand it before it becomes a problem.
