Datamaran’s DMA Evaluate feature empowers companies to seamlessly and continuously update their double materiality assessments. This ensures proactive IRO management and alignment with evolving regulatory requirements. The latest enhancements introduce a targeted, data-driven, and adaptive approach, allowing teams to refresh analyses faster by carrying forward prior work, so you can focus on what’s changed since the last version..
Creating a new DMA Version
To begin a new Double Materiality assessment:
-
Navigate to your latest assessment.
-
Click the three-dot icon and select “Create new version.”
You will be taken directly to the Settings page for the new version.
Note: You can only create a new DMA version when all IRO assessments in the current version are complete.
If at least one IRO is still In progress (i.e., has assigned reviewer(s)), the Create new version option will be disabled.
1. Name Your New Version
Enter a meaningful name for your new analysis version to help distinguish it from previous assessments.
2. Choose Your Carry-Over Options
Decide which IROs you’d like to carry over from the previous version:
-
AI-generated IROs
-
Custom IROs (created via import template or added manually)
-
Both AI-generated and custom IROs (including IROs created via IRO Industry Landscape)
What happens when IROs are carried over?
-
Carried-over IROs retain their previous scores and rationale text (so you don’t need to re-enter them for unchanged IROs).
-
This includes IROs with active evaluation signals.
-
Score history remains available via the audit trail / history panel, providing traceability across versions.
Carrying over IRO scores and rationale reduces manual work during refresh cycles, maintains continuity between versions, and keeps reassessment audit-ready through full score history and the audit trail.
3. Update Your Assessment
Review and update your settings to reflect any changes in your organization or value chain for the new period.
By default, the stream weights will match those from your initial version. You can adjust them as needed for your new analysis.
4. Save and Run
Click Save and run analysis to generate updated topic scores. These scores reflect your latest inputs and the most current data available on the Datamaran platform.
Reviewing and Reassessing IROs
Use DMA Evaluate to reassess the included IROs in the updated context.
