Between a climate scenario and a board decision sits a chain nobody owns.
The ORSA runs at least annually. The board owns it.
There is no deadline for closing the gaps. Once a year the chain is read again, and the board signs. The same unsigned handoffs come back, with the same name on the minute.
CROs, CFOs and heads of underwriting at specialty insurers and Lloyd's managing agents.
Specialty insurers writing material climate-exposed lines, without a climate science department. SS5/25 asks them the same questions it asks the largest carriers - and reads the answers at least once a year, in the ORSA, under the board's signature.

Within six weeks of engagement you will hold a documented list of the points where your chain breaks, traceable to SS5/25 paragraphs.
Whether or not you take it further. Fixed fee, set out in writing against the agreed scope. The deliverable stands on its own, and it makes the next step obvious, or shows you that you do not need one.
