Verified sources
Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

- Project boundary and baseline scenario
- Project type, geography and technology
- Reporting or crediting period
- Included gases, GWP source and unit
- Quantification, monitoring, uncertainty and verification methods
- Package component and conditional applicability
Record-specific limitations
- Combine only non-overlapping observations with compatible project boundaries, baselines, periods, gases, units and quantification methods.
- Baseline emissions, project emissions, reductions, removals, carbon stocks and credits remain separate unless the source explicitly defines a structured result.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
