Precision Measurement: Confidence You Can Quantify

The integrity of a carbon credit is inseparable from the precision of its measurement. In Complete, we showed why meaningful accounting must measure three dimensions of impact.

This piece builds on that foundation and explains how Sky Harvest raises the bar on precision.

The Status Quo: Fuzzy Baselines  

Many nature-based projects rely on coarse regional baselines stitched from public satellite imagery—vague, averaged over large areas, and not specific to the project site.  

Where ground-truthing exists, it’s often limited, inconsistent, and outsourced. Small datasets gathered by distant contractors—sometimes across language barriers—make verification hard and confidence low.  

The result: credits on shaky foundations that leave buyers exposed.  

Sky Harvest: Acre-by-Acre Data  

We leave nothing to chance. Sky Harvest measures 37,000+ data points per hectare, corroborated by hundreds of on-the-ground plots collected by certified regional foresters with decades of experience.  

This turns fuzzy estimates into a precise, verifiable record—traceable back to the tree. For buyers, it means credits that withstand scrutiny, align to internal goals, and earn external trust.  

Where the data comes from  

– Public + private multispectral satellite imagery  

– High-resolution aerial photography  

– LiDAR point clouds (QL2 or better)  

–Synthetic aperture radar (Experimental) 

– Tape/clinometer field plots by certified foresters  

Combined, these inputs enable inventories with a level of detail rarely seen at scale—even in the timber industry.  

Proof points  

– Advanced measurement systems deliver unmatched precision  

– LiDAR, satellite, and aerial imagery integrated with ground data  

– 37,000 data points per hectare for depth and accuracy  

– Precision that exceeds industry norms by an order of magnitude  

– Independent experts verify every measurement  

Why Precision Matters  

Carbon markets are judged on evidence, not intent. With scrutiny rising from regulators, investors, and watchdogs, fuzzy baselines won’t cut it.  

Sky Harvest’s acre-by-acre precision anchors every credit in data as solid as the forests it represents—upgrading not just measurement, but market confidence.
