Leaderboards are fine, but the real test is how these tools align with shifting reporting standards. If the software does not automate the gap between voluntary targets and mandatory regulatory filings, it is just a fancy spreadsheet.
Exactly. Most of these platforms struggle with actual industrial data. It is easy to track electricity bills, but getting accurate carbon data from an old boiler or a custom HVAC setup in a 40 year old factory is where the real work is.
I wonder how they handle the marginal emissions factor for grid electricity. If they are just using annual averages, the accounting is too blunt for anyone actually trying to optimize energy use in real time.
