Not counted by the method

The oldest vintage still on sale, the content of the safeguards and the verifier's quality: not among the facts read
Additionality: CCQI's tool has no type of project for this activity
Quantification: the documents read do not name the project's main methodology, so no CCQI grade of it applies
