Everything MSE does, on one page

Not a list of pages. The model the site is built on - three mandate formats, five phases of a transaction, 13 capabilities under them, 6 sectors and 3 cross-sector layers, 17 instruments and the writing behind them - with every part linked to the page that carries it.

Read left to right: the phase orders the transaction. The three formats are bars across it — each reaches only as far as its authority does. Everything below the axis answers to the phase above it, except the sectors and the layers, which cut across all five.

One

Three ways a mandate is taken

Every engagement runs under one of three formats. The format decides who signs, how MSE is paid, and how far along the transaction its authority reaches.

Two

Five phases, 13 capabilities

The functions a principal entrusts to MSE, independent of the commodity and ordered by the life of a transaction. A mandate rarely needs all of them. It always needs to know which phase it is in.

StructureBuild the deal, its financing and its compliance frame.
MobiliseRaise the capital and move the cargo.
DeliverMove it, document it, price it.

Three

6 sectors, 3 layers under them

A sector desk sets out what MSE takes on in that material and under which mandate format. A tool hub carries the calculators and reference for it. The three layers below run through every sector rather than beside them.

Layers across every sector

Four

17 instruments, placed against the phase they serve

Every tool runs on real transaction parameters and asks for no registration. The carbon tools cover all 30 goods Annex I lists across 114 origins, read from Annex I as replaced by IR (EU) 2026/1740. The tools directory lists them as a catalogue. Here they sit where they are used.

The Pathfinder takes the same model and returns the one route through it that fits a given situation, with the regulatory gates that apply and what a first conversation will ask for.
