Roadmap

SEPI follows a staged publication approach. The Trust Layer provides overview, methodology summary, and governance principles while the publication pack and public benchmark outputs are prepared under expert review and validated release gating.

Scope: Switzerland (Phase 1) — Planned European expansion (Phase 2).

SEPI follows a staged release discipline: the Trust Layer explains scope, method, and governance, while benchmark outputs are published only once validated under the roadmap

Why SEPI publishes in stages

SEPI uses a gated roadmap to protect comparability, interpretability, and institutional readability. Public outputs are released only once core definitions, documentation, and governance elements are locked under versioning discipline.

  • Avoids premature publication of non-validated outputs

  • Ensures assumptions, limitations, and coverage rules are documented

  • Supports institutional trust through reproducible releases and change logs

What is available now vs what is being developed

Now (public-facing)

  • Project overview (Trust Layer)

  • Methodology summary (high-level)

  • Governance principles and publication gate

  • Stakeholder dialogue (boards, investors, public institutions)

Next (under development)

  • Expert review and refinement of deliverable formats

  • Validation approach and publication pack design

  • Preparation of scalable company outputs (December 2026 release)

This staged approach is designed to protect comparability and reduce interpretability risk.

Release gate: minimum lock points

Public benchmark outputs are released only once core elements are locked under version control to protect comparability, reduce the risk of misinterpretation, and ensure audit-ready interpretability.

Before publication, SEPI locks at minimum:

  • Core indicator scope and definitions (headline categories, boundaries, units).

  • Normalisation rules (cross-sector comparability discipline).

  • Key assumptions and limitations (explicit and versioned).

  • Missing data and coverage treatment (documented rules and thresholds).

  • Version identifier and change log discipline (dated, reviewable updates).

  • Publication format and interpretation guidance (how to read outputs; what is not implied).

A documented correction channel is maintained and reflected in the next versioned release where applicable.

What to expect in the publication pack

  • A published methodology and governance documentation set (versioned)

  • Downloadable benchmark output formats (company-level and sector-level)

  • Interpretation guidance and limitations (coverage, scope, assumptions)

First public digital release

  • December 2026: Digital publication pack and first downloadable benchmark outputs

  • After release: Updates follow versioning discipline and documented change logs

Scope expansion (Switzerland → Europe)

SEPI is Switzerland-first in Phase 1, with a planned European scope expansion in Phase 2. The brand and publication principles remain stable across phases to preserve continuity and comparability.

  • Phase 1: Switzerland scope (initial publication pathway)

  • Phase 2: Planned European expansion (scope extension, not a rebrand)

  • Continuity: stable naming, versioning discipline, documented assumptions
