Airgold

Methodology

A clearer path from activity data to reviewable emissions information.

Airgold keeps boundaries, units, factors, calculations and evidence connected so each result can be understood.

Activity data

Define what the report covers first.

Records need company context, reporting period, activity and unit before they can support a result.

How are reporting boundaries set?

The organization, operation, reporting period and relevant activities are defined before calculation. Exclusions and unresolved questions remain visible.

How are units handled?

Airgold keeps the supplier's original value and unit alongside any explicit normalized unit used by the calculation.

How are factors governed?

Factors retain their source, version, geography, activity and compatible unit. Unsupported contexts should pause for review.

What does GHG Protocol-aligned mean here?

Airgold uses GHG Protocol concepts for boundaries, scopes and calculation structure. This does not mean external verification, certification or universal compliance.

Factors and calculations

Govern the inputs. Repeat the result.

The same reviewed activity data and factor should produce the same result.

Deterministic calculation

Source and version

Result

Lineage attached

AI can assist record handling, but calculations stay controlled and repeatable.

Evidence and review

Keep the path behind the result.

Every result should preserve enough context to understand what changed and what still needs attention.

Source

The record behind the activity.

Method

Units, factor and calculation logic.

Judgement

Assumptions, estimates and exclusions.

Status

Complete, missing or awaiting review.
