INTRODUCING
SmartScan
A fast, initial risk signal for unrated carbon projects
Apply Calyx Global's ratings expertise to projects we haven't rated
Evaluating carbon projects requires time, expertise, and access to high-quality information—resources that buyers, intermediaries, and investors can't spend on every project that crosses their desk.
SmartScan gives you a faster way to triage.
Grounded in Calyx Global’s rigorous, peer-reviewed approach to ratings, SmartScan is an AI-powered tool that allows you to decide where your real due-diligence time should go.

SmartScan enables you to:
-
Assess dozens of projects in an afternoon
-
Evaluate project types outside of your expertise
-
Catch red flags before you're committed
- Focus diligence time and money where it counts

How it Works
1. Upload your project documents
Submit all documents, including initial project drafts or a full Project Design Description (PDD), monitoring reports, and other supporting information.
2. SmartScan will read them in minutes
Using AI trained on Calyx Global’s proprietary ratings approach, SmartScan evaluates information across the same key areas that our experts assess.
3. Get a clear picture of project risks
You'll receive an estimated GHG rating, an overview of red flags with the reasoning behind them, and a screening of public media on the project.
4. Focus your due diligence
Using the results of your project review, determine where additional documentation or analysis is needed before allocating further time and resources.
