How Carbbin forecasts and tracks avoided emissions, one question per page. Each page gives the short answer first, then what Project Frame, ISO 14067 and the ILCD Handbook say, with the clause or page, and then what Carbbin does with it.
The principles are public on purpose. A number you cannot check is a number you cannot defend.

How do you forecast avoided emissions for an early-stage company?
The whole method on one page: net unit impact times volumes, per segment, over each unit's life, labelled as potential impact.

What is a functional unit, and why does an avoided-emissions number depend on it?
What, how much, how well, for how long. The yardstick that decides whether a solution and its incumbent can be compared at all.

What is a dynamic baseline, and why does it make the avoided-emissions headline smaller?
The incumbent gets cleaner too. Why a static baseline overstates the number, and how both sides are modelled year by year.

Potential, planned or realised: which avoided-emissions figure are you looking at?
Two forecasts and one result. How each figure is labelled, and how real sales add up year by year.

System boundary and cut-offs: what is in an avoided-emissions number, what is out, and how do you say so?
Which stages are counted on each side, which small flows are left out, and why saying so matters more than the choice itself.

Attribution and double counting: whose avoided emissions are they, and how do you count them once?
The number is the solution's; the stake is the fund's call. And where the same tonne gets counted twice.

Product carbon footprint (ISO 14067) or avoided emissions: which question does each one answer?
One is an absolute number, the other a difference against a counterfactual. What each answers, and why a founder may need both.
