We think a sourced first draft should take an afternoon.

Every year, a sustainability lead somewhere opens a folder of utility bills, fuel logs, and supplier invoices and begins the same slow work: gathering, converting, and re-keying numbers into a carbon model before any drafting can start. It is careful work, and it is necessary. It should not take a season, and it should not cost more than the judgment it supports.

Reading unstructured operational data, classifying each activity, and drafting a sourced inventory is exactly what modern language models are good at. So we built Verdant around that: a reporting copilot that reads the data, maps it to the GHG Protocol, and drafts each figure with the factor and the source attached. The company keeps the judgment. Verdant does the gathering.

We are deliberate about the line. Verdant is not an auditor and does not certify compliance. It produces an audit-ready first draft that a team can review, own, and file. Being clear about what the product is, and is not, is part of doing this honestly.
