MRV Platform

A Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) platform is the kind of system used to produce verified carbon credits under a formal voluntary or compliance standard: VCS, Gold Standard, Plan Vivo, ART/TREES, and the major nature-based offset registries. MRV platforms operate under defined protocols, audit trails, and third-party verification, and the output is credits that can be sold into a carbon market.

EcoIntel is NOT an MRV platform. We are an ADP (Assessment, Diagnostics, Practical guidance), the diagnostic layer that sits beneath MRV in the climate-and-nature data stack.

The distinction matters, because the two answer different questions. An MRV platform answers: “How many verified tonnes of CO₂ can I sell from this project?” An ADP answers: “How is my land actually functioning, and what should I do next?”

What EcoIntel does produce, and what is often confused with MRV output:

• Fully-fledged carbon assessments for any land-cover type, with a historical trajectory back to 2018 and a 30-year forward projection per parcel.
• Independent cross-checks at every parcel polygon against 14 authoritative public reference datasets: satellite products, national inventories, peer-reviewed lookup tables and a calibrated soil-carbon model (RothC).
• Framework alignment with the information requirements of ISO 14064-2, the GHG Protocol, TNFD LEAP, and CSRD/ESRS E4 & E1, auditor-defensible as internal corroboration, not as formal verification.

If you need verified credits, you need an MRV platform. EcoIntel sits alongside that work as an ADP: diagnostic, continuous, weather-corrected, used to manage the land that an MRV process then certifies the credits from.
