About

What you are looking at

ClimAudit is a hackathon prototype for checking the evidence behind biochar carbon credits. Everything shown is synthetic demonstration data, and the ledger is a test network. No credit here is real.

How AI is used

  • An optional AI assistant can read documents and propose values with a quote. It cannot approve, issue, sign or calculate.
  • A value counts only if its quote is really in the document and a person confirms it.
  • All numbers come from deterministic code. A human verifier decides.
  • The software was written with the help of an AI coding assistant.
