How it works
From a messy export to a sourced report.
The same three steps, in order, every time. Ingest the operational data, map each activity to a framework, and draft each figure with the method and the source attached.
Ingest, map, draft.
Ingest operational data
Paste or connect energy bills, fuel logs, business travel, refrigerant top-ups, and supplier spend. Verdant reads the messy exports, tables and footnotes included, and holds the raw text next to the draft.
Map to a framework
Language models classify each activity into Scope 1, 2, or 3 and match it to the right emission factor under the GHG Protocol. Where a factor is an average or spend-based estimate, Verdant says so.
Draft with sources
Verdant computes each figure, shows the factor and the arithmetic, and links every number back to the line it came from. You review the judgment. The gathering is already done.
The data you already have.
Energy
Utility and gas bills in therms, kWh, or MWh.
Fleet fuel
Diesel and gasoline from fuel-card exports.
Refrigerants
Recharge logs by gas type and mass.
Business travel
Air, rail, and road from your travel tool.
Supplier spend
Purchased goods and services from the AP ledger.
Waste and water
Volumes and treatment from facility records.
Paste it as text today. Connectors for common utility and travel tools are on the roadmap. See the frameworks it maps to.
Operational data goes in. A sourced report comes out.
Hover any figure to see the line it came from. Toggle between the summary, the methodology behind each number, and the sources. This runs on sample data; the product does it across your whole year.

L1Ohio plant natural gas came to 48,200 therms for the year per the Columbia Gas invoices.
L2The owned delivery fleet burned 62,500 gallons of diesel last year (fuel-card export).
L3Purchased electricity was 1,240 MWh, grid-supplied in the PJM / RFC East region.
L4Facilities recharged 180 kg of R-410A refrigerant across three rooftop chillers.
L5Business air travel was about 512,000 passenger-miles booked through Concur.
L6Purchased packaging and ingredients ran $4.20M in supplier spend on the AP ledger.

- Spend-based purchased goods is the largest single line and the least certain; supplier-specific factors would tighten it.840 ÷ 2,667 = 31%L6
