Trellison / LedgerWell intersection. Competitor/partner vector. Worth understanding where their methodology stops and proof packs extend.
| Their methodology / role | Proof-pack / Trellison fit |
|---|---|
| Commercial CDR audit | Carbon Direct audits are proof-pack-adjacent; proof packs could integrate |
| Industrial decarbonization | Proof pack applies to industrial carbon claims, not just removal |
| Policy-industry bridge | Friedmann speaks to both DOE and industry; a natural validator |
Specification for how Carbon Direct audit outputs can be formatted as proof packs.
