12For organizations
A diligence worksheet for better questions.
Use this worksheet to organize questions about organizational boundaries, carbon-credit information, records, and proposed communication. It is a learning aid—not a procurement decision, legal opinion, quality rating, or outcome guarantee.
Your notes stay with you.
This page does not collect answers. Save or print it for your own discussion, then ask CarbonBlaze a focused question if useful.
01–06Work through the trail
Six places to pause before a conclusion.
02
Keep reduction work visible

Information to locate
Relevant reduction plan, targets, and the limits of the current decision.
03
Trace the credit information
What public information is available about the crediting program, registry, methodology, vintage, project context, issuance, and status?
Information to locate
Primary-source links and identifiers, where available.
04
Ask pathway-specific questions
How do the available materials address baseline, additionality, quantification, permanence or reversal, leakage, safeguards, and double-counting risk?
Information to locate
Methods, monitoring information, verification context, and documented limitations.
05
Separate record from conclusion
What can a registry or transaction record demonstrate—and what would still require separate interpretation?
Information to locate
Record status, serial or reference details, and a written list of unresolved questions.
06
Plan communication and review
Who will review the information and proposed language before a public statement, procurement step, or internal decision?
Information to locate

A careful next step
Take your source trail into a conversation.
Bring the decision context and questions you have identified. CarbonBlaze can explain the available educational and service pathway, but does not approve claims, determine legal obligations, or certify a project.
