Every project is assessed through the same transparent process, so ratings are comparable across project types, standards and countries. 1. Review the project documents: PDDs, verification and monitoring reports, read end to end. 2. Apply the AI-assisted algorithm: The project is rated out of 5 on each of the five criteria. 3. Award the overall rating: The average of those ratings, with a written justification for each. The five criteria, each scored out of 5: - Additionality: Would the project have gone ahead anyway? If it was already viable without carbon finance, your money is not creating new climate impact. - Permanence: How long does the reduction stay locked away, and what is the risk of reversal through fire, disease, felling or a change of land use? - Quantification: Can the reductions be measured accurately and repeatably, under a methodology that stands up to independent verification? - Leakage: Does protecting one hectare simply push the deforestation next door? Credible projects account for emissions displaced beyond their boundary. - ICVCM CCP status: Whether the project’s methodology has been submitted, assessed and approved under the Core Carbon Principles.
