Git for carbon accounting models
Remote climatetech teams waste hours weekly on async updates, version conflicts, and delayed feedback because carbon accounting platforms lack real-time collaboration for distributed teams across time zones.
CarbonMerge brings version control and real-time merging to carbon accounting. Team members work on separate branches during their local hours, then merge with AI assistance that understands addition of CO2e values and regulatory rules. Visual diffs show exactly how changes affect total emissions with complete audit trails required by compliance teams.
Remote climatetech workers on distributed teams spanning multiple time zones
Domain-aware merge engine that resolves conflicts using carbon accounting logic (e.g., correctly summing scopes instead of text conflicts) instead of generic git algorithms.

Familiar to technical teams
Completely ignorant of carbon semantics
Understands addition of tCO2e and regulatory implications
Strong compliance features
Limited support for parallel workstreams
True branching and merging for distributed teams
Accumulated dataset of real carbon merge conflicts and their correct resolutions becomes training data that improves the AI resolver over time.
Increased regulatory pressure requires robust audit trails at the same time that AI has become capable of understanding domain-specific merge conflicts.
Customers rely on audit trails for regulatory filings
Third-party legal and technical audit of entire system before launch
Building accurate carbon-specific merge logic is complex
Start with narrow scope (Scope 1 & 2 only) and expand after validation
Success: Clear confirmation that current process takes >15 hours per cycle
Success: All 3 teams successfully complete reporting with tool and agree to be case studies
