Founded in Frankfurt in 2016 by Hannah Helmke and Dr. Sebastian Müller, right. based on science offers a quantitative, science-based approach to climate risk management. Helmke's background in international business administration and psychology, combined with an early focus on the carbon bubble during her studies, provided the impetus for the company's mission. Müller's expertise and conviction that superior value creation will drive the green transition were decisive factors in co-founding the firm.
The company’s core offering is the X-Degree Compatibility (XDC) Model, a proprietary methodology that translates the climate impact of an economic entity—be it a company, a financial portfolio, or a real estate asset—into a tangible °C figure. This metric answers a critical question: how much would global temperatures rise if the entire world operated with the same economic emissions intensity as the entity being analyzed?. This 'temperature alignment' metric provides a clear, science-based key performance indicator (KPI) that allows for direct comparison against the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target.
The business model is built on two pillars: licensing its specialized software tools to clients and providing consulting services for implementation. The company serves a diverse client base across the real economy, finance, and real estate sectors, including corporations, banks, and asset managers. These clients utilize the XDC Model and associated software to conduct forward-looking scenario analyses, measure portfolio alignment with climate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of climate strategies, and integrate climate KPIs into investment and decision-making processes. The methodology is peer-reviewed, and its base code has been open-source for academic use since 2019 and fully open-source since 2021, fostering transparency.
