The verified unit

The smallest claim anyone can check.

A carbon claim is only as strong as its smallest auditable unit. Ours is one production batch: measured, bounded, attributed, committed and recomputable. It is evidence — not an offset, credit or certification.

Five properties

Fail one, and it is not a unit

We do not issue a weaker version of the same product when evidence is missing. We record a refusal or a lower evidence grade.

PropertyRequirementFailure condition
MetredThe footprint derives from measured quantities.Only spend-based invoices exist for energy.
BoundedBoundary and functional unit are fixed before collection.The boundary is chosen after seeing the result.
AttributedOne owner, location and batch identifier.A batch is split across sites without a rule.
CommittedSHA-256 chained at issuance; daily root publicly anchored.A value is silently revised.
RecomputableA third party reproduces the commitment from published fields.Verification requires asking our server.
Evidence grades

The grade is arithmetic, not a commercial tier

The customer does not choose a grade. The measured share of the footprint determines it.

Commercial structure

A label is not paid for twice by accident

The supplier pays for measurement and site verification. The buyer pays for a comparable, usable evidence unit. Public recomputation is free.

Where a licensed partner's conclusion is needed, partner review is scoped by shipment or quarterly evidence bundle. We do not simulate hundreds of low-value legal signatures just because a site produces hundreds of batches.

A unit is
  • A batch-level product carbon evidence record
  • Comparable within the same method version
  • Revocable, with a visible reason
  • Independently recomputable without an account
A unit is not
  • A carbon credit, offset or traded instrument
  • A certification conclusion or regulatory approval
  • Comparable across different methods
  • Proof that a company or product is “zero carbon”
