Credits that rest on measured trees

Baseline and periodic monitoring on directly measured biomass, with the traceability a certifier demands.

What we measure

Four numbers, measured, not assumed

  • Aboveground biomass in t/ha
  • Carbon stock per stand and per property
  • Growth measured year against year
  • Declared uncertainty on every figure
What it's for

Baselines and periodic monitoring that a registry accepts: every credit traces to trees measured in the field, not to a borrowed coefficient.

How we do it

The ground calibrates. The air scales.

Ground

Handheld LiDAR · 2 ha/hour

Tree by tree under the canopy. Operated by the local crew after two days of training, and it works with no internet connection.

Air

Drone LiDAR · 60 ha/hour

Full property coverage in days. Flown over well-measured ground plots, it extends that precision to the whole surface.

Platform

UnderstoryOS · traceability

Every measurement keeps its date, operator, location and origin, with the satellite record as context.

What we deliver is the raw data with its chain of custody, not a closed report.

What one project gained

On the largest carbon project under monitoring in Peru, biomass is measured on the ground across the whole area rather than assumed from a regional allometric table, so every credit traces back to a specific tree at an uncertainty band a registry accepts on first submission, not after a round of queries.
