Monitoring & dMRV
Karbon-Assure integrates community plots, periodic soil cores and satellite change detection (Sentinel/Landsat/Planet) to produce hashed MRV snapshots for auditability. These feeds form the basis of tier scoring and pre-submission validation.
Tier-Based Assurance (Conceptual)
The algorithm scores projects across baseline robustness, permanence exposure, monitoring continuity, methodology confidence and leakage risk. Projects are assigned tiers—higher tiers receive preferential insurance loadings and streamlined registry packaging.
