Circularity Relevance

Core
Product is explicitly designed to measure and improve circular performance and implements the Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) - core circular economy functionality as stated on the official site.

Circular Role

SupportEnabler
Circular IQ provides software and data to help other organisations measure and act on circularity (SaaS analytics and reporting) rather than directly operating resale/repair/take-back services.

Circular Type

Informational
Data Resources
The platform centralises circularity data, provides analytics, scenario modelling and reporting - classed as 'Informational' with sub-type 'Data Resources'.

R Strategy

R2 - Reduce, R1 - Rethink, R3 - Reuse
The platform focuses on measuring and optimising circular performance (supporting resource reduction - R2). It also enables new delivery thinking and strategy (R1) and can support reuse decisions (R3) through baseline and gap analyses. These are inferred from product features rather than explicit R-strategy labels on the site.

Circular Business Model

Unknown
The offering is a SaaS measurement and analytics tool rather than a direct circular business model (e.g., resale, repair). No explicit primary circular business model is stated on the website, so 'Unknown' is used.

Organisational Type

ForProfit
Company lists Dutch KvK registration number and VAT (BTW) number in footer indicating a for-profit private company.

Sector

All / Any
Website shows cross-sector clients (Microsoft, BP, Sony, Deloitte, KPMG etc.) and presents the tool as applicable across industries.

Geographical Reach

Global
Netherlands
Website states support for businesses 'worldwide' and lists multinational clients; global presence is claimed on site but specific country-level operations not exhaustively listed.

Hardware Component

None
Circular IQ offers a software/SaaS tool with no evidence of supplying specialised hardware; all functionality is delivered via web application and services.

Tech Map Relevance

Circular IQ provides a software tool (CTI Tool) that directly measures and improves circular performance using the Circular Transition Indicators; relevant to Circular Tech Map as a measurement & analytics enabler. Evidence: company website product pages and CTI references.
