6. How do you do it ?
Data Management Information visualization
makes it possible to collect,
helps users to better understand
store, and analyze
patterns and solve problems
enormous amounts of data
Simulation allows users to understand
inter-relatedness and to preview how
actions would impact systems overall and
avoid unintended consequences.

13. Do you offer a guarantee ?
Yes, a Proof of Concept
$5,000 - $15,000 depending on model types, and datasets
Termination option – 60 days; no penalties
Getting started on a Proof of Concept:
Lay out a vision for how you’ll use carbon modeling and what
Step 1
types of models you’ll use.
Assess what data you already have, where it is and in what
Step 2
form.
Plan data migrations (if possible) with relevant business
Step 3
information systems
Upload the data you have and enable the models you need.
Step 4
Kick off and train your people on using carbon models for
Step 5
sustainability analyses.
