Social & Governance Intelligence

Stop reporting on social risks.
Start architecting resilience.

Movaterra turns socio-economic, survey, and organisational data into defensible risk analytics — powered by machine learning and grounded in fifteen years of published research on sustainability, compliance, and responsible business.

Three ways to engage.

All remote, all defined-scope, all delivered on the Movaterra engine by the researchers who built the methods. We compute, we report, and we can deliver training workshops on our methods — what we don't do is facilitate change programmes or sell open-ended hours of advice.

Diagnostic

Risk & readiness diagnostics

A single, defined-scope assessment of where your organisation stands — scored, benchmarked, and roadmapped.

  • Social & sustainability risk profile
  • Regulatory & compliance readiness — ESG, human rights, data protection
  • Composite index, gap analysis, board-ready report
Programme

Recurring measurement programmes

Scheduled measurement waves with trend tracking — for organisations that need evidence over time, not a snapshot.

  • Workforce intelligence & people analytics waves
  • Trend dashboards and alerting
  • Versioned instruments for year-on-year comparability
Modelling

Custom risk modelling & ML

Predictive models built on your data — the engagement model behind the UN's workforce risk tool.

  • Predictive risk modelling & NLP on socio-economic, survey, and organisational data
  • Counterfactual attribution and feature construction
  • Deployed model plus operational dashboard

Your data in. Defensible evidence out.

Every engagement follows the same pipeline, running on our own engine or on your systems — which is why the second wave is always faster than the first, and your results stay comparable across years.

01 · scope

Scope

Defined scope, instruments, deliverables, and timeline — agreed before we start. You know exactly what you get.

02 · collect

Collect

We deploy validated surveys or receive your data through secure channels. Anonymity thresholds are enforced in the engine — as code, not as a promise.

03 · quantify

Quantify

Statistically validated scoring produces composite indices with sub-factor breakdowns by unit, site, and cohort. ML risk modelling where longitudinal data allows.

04 · deliver

Deliver

An interactive dashboard plus board- and regulator-ready reports. Re-runnable as a measurement wave — evidence with a date on it.

One engine, every engagement. All delivery runs on the Movaterra engine — the same tested codebase applying peer-reviewed, published methods, growing sharper with every project. Our founder designed the United Nations' first predictive workforce risk model; the same discipline runs through everything we take on.

Our research →

Rigour without compromise.

Our methods are grounded in over a decade of peer-reviewed science, funded by leading research councils and deployed at international institutional scale. We publish what we build, and we build only what the evidence supports.

Machine learning, not just metrics
Our toolkit is predictive modelling — gradient boosting, NLP, counterfactual attribution, advanced feature construction — applied where it changes decisions, not where it decorates reports.
Published, not proprietary
The science behind our work is peer-reviewed and public. Anyone can check the methods — that is the point.
Regulatory-grade by design
Everything we build is structured around international risk, governance, and social responsibility standards — designed to stand up to regulators, auditors, and investor due diligence. Our founder sits on ISO and BSI standards committees and the editorial board of Safety Science: we help write the rules we build to.
Privacy as a feature
Anonymity thresholds, lawful data handling, and accredited-researcher discipline are built into the measurement itself, not bolted on afterwards.

The science behind our methods.

Movaterra's methods are built on peer-reviewed research authored by our founder and collaborators — published, public, and open to scrutiny. A selection below; the full record lives on ORCID and Google Scholar.

One question,
four disciplines.

Movaterra exists to answer one question: how do you make an organisation's impact on people measurable — rigorously enough to change decisions?

Movaterra works across four disciplines: management science to understand organisations; socio-economic, survey, and organisational data to see them clearly; sustainability and compliance expertise to know what matters; and machine learning to make it all operational. Every engagement is delivered by the researchers who built the methods.

The people behind Movaterra
Luis D. Torres
Luis D. Torres, PhD
Founder · Associate Professor, University of Nottingham · Data science consultant, United Nations

Luis designed the United Nations' first predictive workforce risk model, now scaling across agencies. He holds a PhD in Management from the University of Nottingham, sits on ISO and BSI standards committees, and serves on the editorial board of Safety Science. His combination of management science, environmental law, human resources, psychology, and data science is what Movaterra is built on.
