The AI Rosetta Stone Project
An AI-assisted system to simplify non-financial reporting and allow data from one framework to carry into others.
In Development
The AI Rosetta Stone Project is CHC’s response to one of the most persistent practical barriers in non-financial capital accounting: the cost and complexity of operating across multiple reporting frameworks simultaneously.
A company navigating GRI, TCFD, ISSB, and the Unified Capitals Protocol at the same time is not doing four separate bodies of analytical work — the underlying data and concepts overlap significantly across these frameworks. Current tools do not reflect that overlap. Organizations answer substantially the same questions multiple times, in different formats, for different audiences, often with separate teams working in parallel without visibility into each other’s outputs. The cumulative burden is considerable for large enterprises. For SMEs asked to provide sustainability data to enterprise customers as part of supply chain reporting, it is frequently prohibitive.
The AI Rosetta Stone Project addresses this through two connected functions. The first is AI-assisted framework completion: a guided process that takes users through the sections of individual reporting frameworks methodically, lowering both the expertise threshold and the time cost of disclosure. The second is cross-framework data portability: treating the data generated by completing one standard as an asset available to others. Where frameworks share underlying concepts or data points — and the degree of overlap is substantial — the system carries that foundational work forward, so organizations are not rebuilding from scratch with each new reporting obligation.
Taken together, these functions are intended to make comprehensive non-financial reporting genuinely accessible. The outputs they produce across different schemes can be read meaningfully alongside each other — giving investors, regulators, and supply chain partners a basis for comparison that currently requires significant manual effort to construct.
Initial Framework Set
- Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards
- Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
- International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) Standards
- The Unified Capitals Protocol
- One additional framework slot, to be confirmed based on user need
The project is currently in a proof-of-concept phase, with development focused on this initial set of five frameworks. The proof of concept will establish the core mapping methodology, demonstrate cross-framework data portability in practice, and validate the technical architecture needed to underpin a full-scale system.
Development Phases
Phase One — Framework Analysis
Ingesting the requirements of each framework, identifying where they overlap and where they diverge, and building the mapping methodology that makes cross-framework data portability technically feasible.
Phase Two — Core System Build
Developing the data import capabilities, mapping engine, and basic report generation functionality that demonstrate the concept in practice across the initial framework set.
Phase Three — Testing, Validation and Documentation
Verifying the accuracy of the framework mapping, confirming that report outputs meet framework requirements, and producing documentation that provides a credible foundation for full-scale development.
The longer-term development path extends beyond the initial framework set. The system architecture is framework-agnostic by design, so additional standards can be integrated as the tool matures without restructuring the underlying approach. A simplified interface for SME use — with streamlined data collection calibrated to the reporting requirements SMEs most commonly face — is a defined next stage. Closing the SME participation gap in enterprise supply chain sustainability reporting is one of the explicit objectives this project was built to address.
We will update this page as development milestones are reached.
