declared.
Disclosure assessment
Declared asks the companies.
A company answers a scheme's questions, each showing how it is scored, and attaches the documents behind each answer. Declared reads every document, finds the passage that bears on that answer, and shows it back while the answer is still open to change. Declared then suggests a score from those documents, and a validator, the named person who checks each score, signs it off. The company gets every score with the evidence behind it and a roadmap of what would raise it, and the record keeps every version of everything.
One instrument carries any framework. A modern slavery statement, a government reporting form, a buyer's supplier questionnaire and an industry scorecard are each a scheme, held as data.

What it does
Three people, one record.
For the company
See what your document says
Answer in the portal, in your own language, and attach the report, policy or web page that backs each answer. Declared quotes the passage it found and says how far it reaches. Fix the answer or add a document before you submit. One sign-in covers every scheme your organisation takes part in.
For the validator
A proposal, the quote and the case against
Each answer arrives in the queue with a proposed score, the passage and page it rests on, the reasoning, and the strongest argument for a different score. Accept, adjust or replace it. Anything beyond a plain accept carries a reason, and your name goes on the score.
For the scheme owner
Your methodology, as rows
Sections, questions, weights, scoring rules and report wording are data you edit, with every change recorded. Run the cohort through nine stages from design to feedback, compare peers on any dimension you classify by, and publish versions that stay exactly as they were read.
Try it
One question, one document, three answers.
Pick an answer and watch the mark. The first quotation mark is the claim and the second is the evidence: the shorter the second, the less of the claim the document carries.
The question
What share of workers at your own sites received at least the living wage in the 2025 reporting year?
The document
Annual Sustainability Report 2025, page 14
In the 2025 reporting year, 96% of employees at our three processing sites received at least the living wage benchmark. Contracted cleaning and security staff sit outside this figure, and we will report on them from 2026.
Verdict, shown to the company before it submits
Supports
The passage says exactly this, for the same sites, the same people and the same year. The quote and the page travel with the answer to the validator.
The rule
Every number comes from a rule or a named person.
Declared works in three layers, in order, and a person closes the last one. A language model reads and drafts. A rule or a validator sets the score.
1 · Rules
A rule scores what a rule can
Thresholds, choices and mappings in the scheme produce a value directly, the same way every time, for every company in the cohort.
2 · Evidence
The passage, with its page
Declared locates the passage in each document that bears on each answer, and keeps the quote, the page, the document name and its fingerprint.
3 · Proposal, then a person
A proposal for a validator to decide
A model writes the proposed score, its reasoning and the case against it. The proposal becomes a score when a named validator accepts it.
Schemes are data
One instrument, every return.
A scheme is its questions, weights, scoring rules and report wording, stored as rows. Adding a framework is loading a scheme, so one evidence base answers each regime in the form that regime asks for.
| Scheme | What it produces |
|---|---|
| Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act, section 16 | The annual statement against the seven mandatory criteria, with the proposed grievance and remediation criteria. |
| NSW Government Reporting Scheme and the 23 Hallmarks | The Appendix K reporting form, and a gap analysis against the hallmarks of best practice. |
| New Zealand Modern Slavery Bill, clause 6 | The report the bill describes, with remediation and effectiveness evidence from Counted and Heard. |
| Canada, section 11(3) | The annual report on forced and child labour in supply chains. |
| ESRS S1-2 and S2-2, CSDDD Articles 14 to 16 | The European disclosures on engaging own workers and value chain workers, and the due diligence statement. |
| German Supply Chain Act complaints procedure review | The annual review of the complaints procedure, in the form the regulator reads. |
| Forced labour information request | The evidence pack an importer hands a border authority when a shipment is questioned. |
| Governance and policy | The policy, the approving body, the named owner and the escalation record, each checked against the document that shows it. |
| Corrective action register | Finding, action, owner, due date and evidence of closure, closed against the next Counted cycle and Heard's themes. |
| An industry scorecard, a buyer's questionnaire | Your own methodology, with its own sections, weights and peer cohorts. |
Declared's evidence reader is built from 6,166 pairs of machine and expert scores from the Chocolate Scorecard, the industry assessment it grew out of.
The record
Every version, kept.
Every change to an answer, a score, a ruling, a question or a template is kept whole: the state before, the state after, who made it, when and why. Any object returns to any earlier state, and the return is itself a recorded change.
Evidence has two lifetimes. The file is kept for the retention period the scheme sets, then purged. The quote, the page, the document name and its fingerprint stay with the score for as long as the score stands, so a result is defensible years after the file has gone.
A published edition is a version. A correction issues the next version beside it, and both stay readable.
Where the data lives
Declared is hosted in Sydney. Each organisation reads its own records, and that boundary is enforced by the database itself, under every application that reaches it. A client who wants its own instance gets one.
A company's access follows the scheme owner's calendar: the portal opens when the owner invites the cohort and closes when the owner closes submissions. Deadlines belong to the scheme owner.
Where it fits
The company's account, beside the workers'.
Declared runs on its own for any scheme owner with a questionnaire and a cohort. Within Just Supply it carries the company's account of itself, and its report templates draw on Counted's census and Heard's grievance figures, so the workers' evidence sits in the same return as the company's.
Proof runs on Declared. Its risk registers, gap analyses and regulatory reports are Declared schemes, read by the same evidence reader and accepted by the same named validators.
The payment rail
What moved and what got paid for it, reconciled at every handover, beside the company's account.

- The company owns its account. It writes the answers, chooses the evidence and submits under its own name. Declared shows it what its documents say before it does.
- Declared drafts; a named person decides. A cycle runs with one validator per score, or a panel with a ruling where validators differ, set by the scheme owner.
- The verdict is a guide for the company and a starting point for the validator. It comes with the quote and the page, so both read the evidence for themselves.
- A first cycle starts from your existing questionnaire. We load it as a scheme, run it with your cohort, and the next cycle opens on what the first one taught.
