One running case. You leave with a GHG inventory, a GRI section and an EcoVadis pack you built yourself, and the agents that produced them.

How the work is splitEvery lab week

Stays manual

  • The boundary decision, and which Scope 3 categories are material

The AI does

  • Maps a 4,000-line ledger to scope and category, with a confidence flag

You verify

  • Recompute three sampled lines by hand; check every factor's source

02 · The seat

Both mentors read it. Five working days.

One question: which module you need next. Accept, accept with named pre-work, or defer to Cohort 2 with a reason. Paying the fee confirms the seat.

Certificates, plainly

  • A ClimateFluent certificate says you completed our programme and its assessed builds. Nothing more.
