Integrity

The verification report dated 2024-12-27 confirms additionality via an investment test and reports no material findings. However, the extracted record does not provide any leakage deduction or leakage justification, and it also lacks a buffer pool percentage and any clear reversal-event reporting, leaving permanence and leakage controls unsubstantiated. The baseline is described as project-specific, and no baseline reassessment timing is provided, which weakens baseline robustness.

Transparency

The monitoring/crediting period is clearly stated as 2023-10-01 to 2024-09-30 in the verification record (2024-12-27), and a verified total of 14,873 is reported. Transparency is reduced by low extraction confidence and by inconsistencies across documents in key reported figures (notably the verified removals and the crediting period). The absence of stated methods for usage monitoring and fossil/non-fossil parameterization in the extracted record further limits MRV clarity.

Claim Safety

The extracted record states the project is not CORSIA-eligible, which lowers the risk of high-profile aviation-related claims. Claim safety is nevertheless weakened because corrective actions require correcting the fossil CO2 subtraction in the calculation file and adding a marketing disclaimer clarifying that associated credits are managed in the Puro registry, both of which indicate elevated risk of misleading product claims or over-crediting if not tightly controlled. CCP status is not found in the extracted record, leaving uncertainty about alignment with higher-integrity labels.

Documentation

The project has a recent verification record (2024-12-27) and the extraction references 11 documents, which is a positive sign for coverage. Documentation quality is undermined because the minimum extraction confidence is low (suggesting at least one key document was poorly readable) and the evidence document list is not well identified (shown as “unknown”). The presence of required corrective actions also suggests documentation/calculation controls needed strengthening during verification.

Overall

Overall scoring is pulled down primarily by evidence gaps on leakage and permanence controls, plus low documentation reliability. Contradictions were addressed by privileging the most recent verification record dated 2024-12-27 for (1) safeguards being mentioned (true vs false in 2024-01-08), (2) additionality being verified by the VVB (true vs false in 2022-11-17), (3) verified removals (14,873 vs 20,831 in 2024-08-05), and (4) the crediting period (2023-10-01—2024-09-30 vs 2022-10-01—2023-09-30 in 2024-08-05), because it is the latest and explicitly a verification record. Even with that prioritization, the existence of these discrepancies indicates data reliability risk and warrants downward adjustments to transparency, claim safety, and documentation; note that documentation below 3.0 would cap transparency under the stated gate rules.
