Structured, evidence-based blockchain readiness assessment for financial institutions and international organisations. Problem-first methodology with cascading layer architecture. Honest outcomes, including credible stop decisions.
14 institution types from commercial banking to CASPs, each with a dedicated companion containing tailored regulatory modules, use cases, and country-specific overlays. Sovereignty assessment, quantum readiness, and 140+ EU regulatory frameworks built into every assessment pathway.
946 assessment questions across 121 real-world use cases. Built from humanitarian field experience. Designed to produce credible outcomes — including credible stop decisions when blockchain is not the answer.
Built by practitioners who run assessments in real financial institutions, not consultants writing theory.
MiCA, DORA, GDPR, AIFMD, Solvency II, PSD2, and 130+ more are integrated at the methodology level with institution-specific activation logic. Compliance is structural, not bolted on.
Each of 14 institution types loads a dedicated companion with tailored regulatory modules, use cases, and country overlays. Cascading layers where each output feeds the next input.
The framework produces credible stop decisions. Sometimes blockchain is not the answer. This framework respects that reality.
Five-position sovereignty spectrum and post-quantum cryptography readiness built into every assessment pathway. Based on original research papers.
Across 14 institution types and 10 financial services domains. Your problems are surfaced organically through cascading layers, filtered by profile, type, and role.
Designed by people who run assessments in real financial institutions. Practical and field-tested methodology.
The cascading architecture routes each institution through a structured, evidence-based pathway from profiling to production. Click any layer to learn more.
Select from 14 institution types (with multi-type support), load the dedicated companion with tailored regulatory modules, and profile across five dimensions. The companion drives every subsequent layer.
Five-stage problem identification: L1A operational diagnostics with profile-filtered questions, L1B problem area selection via heatmap, L1C deep quantification with business case metrics, L1D use case matching from 313 reference UCs, and L1E prioritisation for the assessment pipeline.
Evaluate which identified problems could be solved by blockchain versus existing alternatives. 8 differentiation criteria (B1-B8) tested per problem, including tokenisation assessment.
Evaluate 140+ EU regulatory frameworks with institution-specific activation logic. Country-specific overlays for all 32 EU/EEA jurisdictions. Compliance baseline shortcuts for institutions with existing certifications (ISO 27001, DORA, SOC 2).
Establish your institution's position on the five-position sovereignty spectrum: infrastructure jurisdiction, key management, data residency, and supervisory access. Based on the Sovereignty Illusion framework.
Assess quantum risk exposure, post-quantum cryptography migration readiness, and collect-now-decrypt-later risk. Four-path recommendation: Accept, Migrate, Verify, or Build.
Map validated use cases to blockchain solution components using the technology taxonomy (L5A). Design target architecture with integration points, data flows, and system boundaries (L5B).
Four-dimensional feasibility: L6A technical viability and performance, L6B regulatory compliance design, L6C financial and operational impact with cost modelling, L6D organisational readiness and change management.
Aggregate all assessment evidence into a data-driven go/no-go recommendation. The critical determination point with institutional-level determinations. Results you can defend to your board.
Generate structured requirements package from assessment outputs (L8A). Evaluate and shortlist technology vendors and implementation partners against solution requirements (L8B).
Design proof-of-concept pilot with success criteria and execute with real-world transactions (L9). Evaluate pilot outcomes and prepare graduation assessment (L10).
Transition pilot to production deployment and establish operational baseline (L11). Monitor operational health, compliance posture, and performance post-deployment (L12).
Built for the reality of humanitarian and development work, not adapted from enterprise consulting.
Starts from your organisation's operational pain points. Blockchain is evaluated as a potential solution, not the starting point.
Five outcome types including credible stop decisions. Sometimes blockchain is not the answer. This framework respects that reality.
Across 10 categories. Your problems are surfaced through open discovery, then validated against the reference library.
Most engagements do not complete every phase. The framework has structured, valid exits at multiple stages.
Assessment participation costs nothing. Built to serve organisations that need honest technology evaluation without vendor pressure.
Designed by practitioners running real assessments, not consultants writing theory. Field-tested methodology.
Six possible outcomes per use case: two early exits when problems or use cases aren't viable, and four readiness results from Phase 4. Every outcome leads to action. Click any phase to learn more.
Map organisational structure, operating context, technology landscape, funding sources, partner ecosystem, and regulatory environment. 24 questions across 6 sections.
23 questions across 5 sections. Pain point identification via prompted exploration. Computes engagement profile and flags relevant Deep Dive categories.
Category exploration across 10 areas (A-J). Only flagged categories are explored. Typically 2-4 per engagement.
Synthesise problems from deep-dive findings, match to blockchain use case patterns from the 121-case catalogue, and prioritise which problems to take forward.
Capability assessment across 5 dimensions (14 questions) plus use-case-specific evaluation (3 questions per use case). Four outcomes — every path leads to action.
Use-case prioritisation and provider evaluation. Only Proceed/Conditions outcomes reach this phase.
Solution architecture, procurement considerations, and implementation model selection.
GO/NO-GO checkpoint. KPI monitoring, rollback planning. NO-GO feeds back to Design for redesign.
Scale-up, training, ongoing operations. Full deployment and long-term operational support.
10 assessment categories covering the full range of NGO blockchain use cases.
Blue = Core (most organisations). Gold = Specialised (context-dependent). 60-90 min per category, max 3 per session.
