HOW IT WORKS

Seven signals. Seven anchors.

Every panel cites the standard it screens against. Full provenance on the Standards page.

THE ENGINE

Not a fixture. An engine.

Multi-tier resolver — every external call has a graceful fallback, every result is shape-stable, every input is validated. Exercised across the 94 unit + integration tests plus 15 live blind screens on previously unseen projects: zero crashes.

Northern Rangelands Trust carbon program (Kenya) — not in the curated ledger, never seen by the engine before — returned RED 11 with three adverse articles surfaced from cold news inference: Mongabay (“Kenyan soil carbon project suspended for a second time”), Survival International (“Controversial carbon credits scheme used by Netflix and Meta suspended AGAIN”), and FIDH (“human rights abuses against Indigenous”). That's the v0.3 proof point: this works for projects no one told it about.

Latency varies with the LLM synthesis step (5–25s). Data fetch alone is ~3s.

SEE IT RUN · 60 SECONDS

Don't take the test profile's word for it. Watch the engine run.

Three silent clips — engine fans out across seven cited signals, an LLM drafts the IC-memo Safeguards section under grounding rules, and the same engine produces opposite verdicts on a known-controversial project and a clean control.
