**What You'll Walk Away With:** 

**Understanding What Soil ECI Delivers** 

✓ From thousands of species to one trusted score - How Soil ECI measures bacteria, fungi, and invertebrates to create a single soil microbial ecosystem condition index with 95% accuracy 

✓ Site-level actionable intelligence - See how the breakdown by biological community tells your restoration teams exactly where to focus interventions for maximum impact 

✓ Portfolio-level board reporting - Understand how individual site scores aggregate to portfolio insights (Portfolio ECI and Soil Quality Hectares) providing a consolidated view of performance and contribution to nature-related outcomes across your asset base

✓ Temporal tracking that proves it works - Learn how to demonstrate soil ecosystem recovery over time with quantifiable trajectories that justify restoration investments 

**Business Applications** 

✓ Proving offset integrity - Find out how Soil ECI is already being used to validate offset sites to deliver genuine conservation value for regulatory approval 

✓ Optimising restoration budgets - See how a conservation portfolio can identify underperforming sites and reallocated resources to achieve measurable ecosystem improvement 

✓ Validating regenerative claims - Discover how agricultural operations can use Soil ECI to verify soil health improvements and justify premium pricing with investors
