Where EcoIntel fits
The land-monitoring stack
Registries, MRV platforms, specialist data providers, and the diagnostic layer beneath them all. Here's where EcoIntel sits — and why it complements the rest of the stack rather than competing with it.
Land-based climate and nature data is built in layers. At the top, registries certify saleable carbon credits. Beneath them, full-stack MRV platforms measure, report and verify those credits. Alongside sit specialist data providers that supply a single measurement well. And beneath all of it is the layer most land actually needs first: the diagnostic layer — what EcoIntel calls an ADP (Assessment, Diagnostics, Practical guidance).
EcoIntel is an ADP. It is not an MRV platform and issues no verified credits. Where an MRV pipeline exists, EcoIntel feeds it; where none is needed — which is most farms in the EU and UK — EcoIntel does the diagnostic work on its own.
| Layer | Examples | What it answers | Relationship to EcoIntel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registry / standard | Verra (VCS), Gold Standard, Plan Vivo | Is this carbon credit certified, and to what standard? | Downstream of MRV. EcoIntel does not issue or certify credits. |
| Full-stack MRV platform | e.g. Regrow, Boomitra, Agreena, Indigo | How many verified tonnes of CO₂ can be sold from this project? | EcoIntel sits beneath this layer and can feed it — diagnostic and trajectory evidence that supports the verification process. |
| Specialist measurement / data | e.g. Downforce, EarthOptics, Perennial | What is the soil-carbon or biophysical measurement at this point? | Complementary inputs. EcoIntel cross-checks its own outputs against 14 public reference datasets. |
| ADP — diagnostic layer | EcoIntel | How is this land actually functioning, and what should be done next? | The layer EcoIntel occupies. |
Two things EcoIntel does that an MRV platform structurally can't
It issues no credits. Because EcoIntel never sells a tonne, it has no commercial stake in any particular carbon number — the diagnosis stays independent of the credit it might one day support.
It runs continuously. Weather-corrected, field-by-field, with history back to 2018 — not at the cadence of a verification cycle. That makes it useful for management decisions this season, not just for an audit at year end.
Frequently asked
Is EcoIntel an alternative to Regrow, Boomitra or other MRV platforms?
No — EcoIntel is a complement, not an alternative. Those are MRV platforms that produce verified carbon credits; EcoIntel is an ADP (Assessment, Diagnostics, Practical guidance), the diagnostic layer beneath MRV. Where an MRV pipeline exists, EcoIntel feeds it; where none is needed, EcoIntel does the diagnostic work on its own. EcoIntel does not issue verified credits.
How is EcoIntel different from a remote-sensing or NDVI dashboard?
A generic dashboard shows indices and maps. EcoIntel turns them into a diagnosis: a Land Health Score, the four ecosystem processes, the limiting factor, weather-corrected trajectory and the next management move — continuous and field-by-field, with history back to 2018.
What does EcoIntel do that a full-stack MRV platform structurally can't?
Two things. It issues no credits, so it has no commercial stake in any particular carbon number — the diagnosis stays independent. And it runs continuously and weather-corrected, with field-level history back to 2018, rather than at the cadence of a verification cycle.
