Our approach
Evidence before the next commitment.
A practical development process connects the land, the people, the data and the decisions. Each stage should make the next one clearer.
Understand the land
Forest condition, land use, boundaries and the people connected to the landscape.
Build the evidence
Rights, data, community context and a clear record of what needs further review.
Shape the project
Methodology, specialist responsibilities, development stages and practical next steps.
Prepare for market
Diligence materials, commercial structure and conversations with capital and buyers.
What a credible evidence base needs.
The specific requirements depend on the landscape, proposed pathway and parties involved. These are the questions that guide a useful project review.
Rights & responsibilities
Land and carbon rights, authorised parties, permitted activities, and a clear allocation of development responsibilities.
Methods & uncertainty
The potential methodology, data sources and dates, key assumptions, and questions that need specialist or field review.
People & safeguards
Community context, participation, safeguards and how relevant concerns and responsibilities are documented.
Commercial preparation
A realistic work programme, budget assumptions, development milestones and materials that investors or buyers can assess.
Measuring what matters
Keep potential and outcomes distinct.
How should project area be read?
Concession area describes a landholding. A carbon-project boundary or an area under restoration may differ. None of these figures alone measures climate impact.
What does an early screening tell us?
Screening can help prioritise further assessment. Its assumptions, data dates and limitations should remain visible. It does not establish verified carbon credits.
Who validates and verifies a project?
The relevant standards, qualified specialists and independent validation and verification bodies have distinct roles. Project-development support does not replace their decisions.
What evidence should accompany an impact claim?
A clear definition, measurement period, source, methodology, verification status and attribution. The site should only add quantified impact when that evidence is available.
Beyond project preparation
The work continues as the evidence changes.
Monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV), stakeholder records, safeguards and commercial reporting require continued attention. The scope depends on the project stage and agreed responsibilities.
Where ongoing support is agreed, it can include coordinating project updates, monitoring risks, organising buyer reporting and refreshing land-origin evidence. Independent verification remains a separate responsibility.
