Our Approach

Continuous AI Monitoring

Traditional carbon market intelligence relies on periodic human assessments — published quarterly, outdated by the time you read them. VCM.fyi uses AI with real-time web search grounding to scan every project, every country, and every developer on a weekly or daily cadence. The intelligence is always current.

Verifiable by Design

Every finding includes source citations — URLs you can click to verify. We don't ask you to trust our AI; we give you the receipts. Known limitations are documented on every methodology page, because honest disclosure of what the system can't do is as important as showing what it can.
