Where does CBAM readiness begin?

With data ownership, supplier evidence, and a review model that connects reporting and finance.

Why does dossier quality matter so much?

Because teams must defend not only reports, but the evidence behind them.

Both depend on reliable supplier data, dossier logic, and clear ownership of decisions.

Structure data ownership, supplier evidence, calculation quality, and reporting flow as one continuous operating model.

Emissions data, supplier requests, and financial impact live in separate workstreams.
Teams build reports without explicit review and escalation layers.
The shift to the definitive phase requires more dossier quality than loose spreadsheets can support.

Collect supplier data, defaults, and exceptions inside one controlled intake layer.
Treat review and finance impact as explicit decision steps.
Build reporting outputs and exportable evidence packs per reporting period.
