QAVCM
One traceable view of a scattered voluntary carbon market.
QAVCM brings registry and marketplace data into one record, values credits with models that explain themselves, and compares venues before anything is bought.

From scattered registries to a purchase a person signs off.
Built as an agentic product: many agents, each with one job, on one traced data layer. Today every output passes a person; nothing is bought without approval.
In the loop: a person approves every result (step 1, today)

Ingestion and matching collects sources and links records of the same project.
Valuation estimates a fair value and shows what drives it (SHAP).
Routing compares connected venues and splits an order to lower cost.
Procurement drafts the purchase in a co-pilot workspace (prototype).

ReceiverThe buyer of credits
Next step [to agree]Routine data checks and matching move on the loop once their outputs hold over an agreed period. Purchases keep their approval step.How we work: data first, then agents
The problem
A market without one place to look.
Carbon credits are listed across several registries and sold on many marketplaces. The same project appears under different IDs, prices are hard to compare, and buyers struggle to judge quality before they commit.
What we built
- 01A market atlas: harmonised project data from registries and marketplaces, with lineage behind every figure.
- 02Explainable valuation: machine-learning fair values, with SHAP showing what drives each one.
- 03Smart procurement: venue comparison, order routing and a procurement agent prototype.
