Score Breakdown

Integrity

verified The PDD (2022) states additionality is assessed using a barrier test.

missing Baseline is project-specific and key integrity elements (baseline reassessment timing, leakage, and permanence/buffer approach) are not found in the extracted record.

Transparency

verified The extracted record indicates no material findings or corrective actions (from the available PDD extract).

missing No VVB name, monitoring period, or claimed vs verified emission reductions are found in the extracted record.

Claim Safety

inferred Safeguards are mentioned in the PDD (2022), but FPIC, grievance mechanism, and benefit sharing details are not found in the extracted record.

missing No evidence of verified results or eligibility status (CORSIA/CCP) is found in the extracted record, increasing over-crediting and claims risk.

Documentation

verified Extraction confidence is high for the available document.

missing Documentation set appears incomplete (only one document listed as "unknown"; no monitoring/verification reports found).

Detailed Analysis

Integrity

The PDD (2022) indicates additionality is assessed via a barrier test, but it is not confirmed by a VVB in the extracted record. The baseline approach is project-specific, and the timing of any baseline reassessment is not stated in available documents. For a soil carbon project, permanence management is not evidenced here: no buffer pool percentage, reversal risk treatment, or reversal event reporting is found in the extracted record, and leakage deduction/justification is also not found.

Transparency

Transparency is limited because the extracted record contains only a PDD (2022) and does not include a monitoring period, any claimed or verified emission reductions, or the name of the validating/verifying body. While the extracted record shows no material findings and no corrective actions, this appears to reflect the absence of verification documentation rather than a confirmed clean audit trail. Public-facing MRV specifics (e.g., how outcomes are monitored and reported over time) are not found in the extracted record.

Claim Safety

Claims risk is elevated because there is no verified ER figure, no monitoring period, and no VVB information found in the extracted record, making it hard to assess over-crediting risk. Safeguards are mentioned in the PDD (2022), but FPIC, grievance mechanism, and benefit-sharing details are not found in the extracted record, which increases reputational/greenwashing risk for buyer claims. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in available documents, leaving uncertainty around how the credits might be marketed and perceived.

Documentation

Documentation quality is constrained by coverage: only one document (a PDD dated 2022-02-04) is reflected, with the evidence document listed as "unknown" and no monitoring or verification reports found. The extraction confidence is high, which supports reliability of what was captured, but the absence of key document types limits completeness. No corrective actions are listed, but without VVB reports this does not strongly evidence audit outcomes.

Overall

No contradictions were identified in the extracted record, so scoring is driven primarily by evidence gaps rather than conflicting data. The project has a defined crediting period (2017–2037) and a stated additionality approach in the PDD (2022), but lacks extracted evidence for permanence/buffer provisions, leakage treatment, and any verified monitoring outcomes. Given these gaps, the scores remain low-to-moderate; note that if documentation were to fall below 3.0, transparency would be capped by the gate rule (not applied here).

Audit Analysis

Based on the single available PDD extract, the project’s core integrity and MRV details are not sufficiently evidenced to support high confidence in credit quality. Additionality is described as a barrier test and safeguards are mentioned, but key quantifications (baseline reassessment, leakage, reversals/buffer, monitoring results) are not found in the extracted record.

Project Description

Why we chose this project: “India is the 2nd largest producer of rice and sugar cane in the world. Consequentially, agriculture is one of India’s leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions due to increasing air temperatures, and unsustainable practices including intense overharvesting and burning crop residue. Marginalized and small farmer groups are highly susceptible

Red Flags

Only one document (a PDD) was available in the extracted record; no monitoring or verification results were found (no verified ERs, monitoring period, or VVB identified).
Soil carbon project with no buffer pool percentage, reversal risk treatment, or reversal event reporting found in the extracted record.
Leakage treatment is not found in the extracted record (no leakage deduction or justification).

Credit Vintages

Nessuna emissione registrata sul registro.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

Provide the validation/verification reports and monitoring reports showing the monitoring period, VVB name, and claimed vs verified emission reductions.
Disclose permanence risk management for soil carbon (buffer pool contribution, reversal monitoring/response procedures) and provide leakage quantification or a justified leakage deduction.
