Reading a Report

A Criora location report is built around six tabs: Overview, Risks, Factors, TCFD, Maps, and Outlook. This guide walks through what each one shows and how to act on it.

Header, the headline number

At the top of every report, three things travel together:

  • Overall rating: a letter grade from A++ to F
  • Overall score: the underlying 0-100 number (higher = more risk)
  • Driver dimension: the dimension that pulled the rating down hardest

The driver tells you where to focus first. A C+ driven by Climate is a different conversation than a C+ driven by Adaptation.

Overview tab

The Overview gives you the rating breakdown without diving into individual risks:

  • Dimension cards: one per dimension (Climate, Nature, Social, Governance, Adaptation) with the dimension’s max score and band.
  • Severity distribution: a histogram of how many risks fall into Critical / High / Medium / Low / Very Low.
  • Top risks: the four or five highest-scoring risks across all dimensions, surfaced for quick triage.

If a dimension shows no score, it means no input data was available, the rest of the dimensions are scored regardless.

Risks tab

This is where you see all 15 site-level risks plus the country-level dimensions, each with its own card.

Each risk card shows:

  • The risk name and current score
  • The severity band (Very Low → Critical)
  • A short explanation of what the risk represents
  • The data sources and factors that contributed to the score
  • Any recommendations the platform generated for mitigating this risk
💡 Sorting

Risks are ordered by severity by default. Click a column header to re-sort by name or by dimension if you want to compare like-for-like.

Factors tab

Factors are the raw data inputs, temperature averages, wind speeds, NDVI, distance to coast, and so on. The Factors tab shows:

  • The current value, with units
  • The trend (increasing / decreasing / stable) over the available history
  • A historical chart when you click a factor (toggle with the chart icon)
  • A forecast band where projections are available (mostly temperature and precipitation under SSP scenarios)

Factors don’t have a score on their own, they feed into one or more risks. If a risk surprises you, the Factors tab is where to verify the input data is sane.

TCFD tab

The TCFD tab reorganises the same risks under the TCFD framework’s four pillars:

  • Governance: how climate risk is overseen
  • Strategy: climate impact on business strategy
  • Risk Management: risk identification and management processes
  • Metrics & Targets: measures used to assess climate risks

For physical-risk reporting, this view groups your scored risks under Physical Acute and Physical Chronic so that the report aligns with the disclosure structure regulators and frameworks expect.

Maps tab

The Maps tab opens the same map view that powers the layer panel, pre-centred on the location and ready for layer toggling. Use it when you want to inspect a specific layer (water stress, NDVI, flood risk, etc.) in the location’s spatial context without leaving the report. See Working with Layers for the layer mechanics.

Outlook tab

The Outlook tab brings together two near-real-time and forward-looking views:

  • Nearby dispatches: a directional radar of live hazard events (wildfires, earthquakes, floods, cyclones, air-quality alerts, and more) around the location. See Live Dispatches.
  • Teleport: a card that opens a side-by-side comparison of this location against your other sites or against eight reference cities around the world. See Comparing Locations.

The Outlook view complements the long-term score with operational and comparative context: what is happening today, and how does this site stack up against somewhere familiar.

Confidence and coverage

Every report carries a confidence indicator. Lower confidence usually means one of:

  • The location is in a region with sparse satellite or climate data coverage
  • One of the input datasets has a known data gap for this period
  • The country index is using a fallback for a less-monitored country

For locations with low confidence, treat the score as directional and use the layer view to inspect the underlying data yourself.

Acting on the report

The most common workflows after a report finishes:

  1. Triage: read the Overview, identify the driver dimension and top risks.
  2. Investigate: open the driver risk’s card, check its data sources and which factors push the score.
  3. Verify: switch to the Factors tab and look at trends; switch to the map and toggle the relevant layer to see the spatial context.
  4. Communicate: share the report URL with stakeholders, or pull the TCFD view for disclosure preparation.

When to recalculate

Reports are snapshots, they reflect the data at the time of generation. To re-score:

  1. Open the location detail page
  2. Click Recalculate
  3. Wait for the four-stage pipeline to finish (Collecting factors → Calculating risks → LLM validation → Complete)

A recalculation creates a new report rather than overwriting the old one, so historical scores remain visible.
