Nset is the rail beneath the market, not another point solution on top of it. Four layers carry verified performance from origin to an audited claim — measurement-agnostic at the bottom, a registry at the top, and a single source of truth in between.

Why a rail, not a tool

Neutral

We move the instrument; we don’t compete with the providers who feed it.

MRV-agnostic

Primary data or bring-your-own measurement. The instrument never depends on a single MRV.

Interoperable

One canonical schema in, one auditable instrument out — across providers and commodities.

01 The four layers

One rail, bottom to top.

One rail, bottom to top.

Evidence enters at the bottom and leaves the top as a priced, transferable, single-use instrument. Click any layer to go deeper.

01

Ingest

Data ingestion

MRV-agnostic intake. Primary Tier 3 data through our measurement partner, or bring your own — every observation normalized into one canonical schema with full provenance.

→

02

Transform

Allocation engine

Connects verified performance to commodity flows via mass balance, supply-shed attribution, and chain of custody — so the number survives blending, processing, and every change of hands.

→

03

Verify

Audit & clearinghouse

The trust layer. Verification logic, dispute and override rules, model-drift control, and single-use clearing — so a certificate reprices on real performance, never on a model changing underneath it.

→

04

Record

Registry

Issue, transfer, transform, settle, retire — the single source of truth for every certificate, from issuance through retirement.

→

02 How value moves through the stack

Evidence in at the bottom. A priced instrument out at the top.

01 · INGEST

A measurement provider — ours or yours — submits observations into one canonical MRV object with full provenance.

↓

02 · TRANSFORM

The allocation engine ties that performance to a commodity flow and carries it downstream.

↓

03 · VERIFY

Audit and clearing logic checks it, resolves disputes, controls for model drift, and clears it once.

↓

04 · RECORD

A Carbon Inventory Certificate — priced, transferable, single-use — issued, transferred, settled, and retired in the registry.

03 Two sides of the rail

Built for the people who generate value and the people who need to claim it.

For traders & program operators

Generate and transfer value from your regen-ag program

Deploy the rails into a program you already run, package and price carbon-intensity data, and move it into downstream transactions.

For buyers

Certificates arrive already attached to what you buy

CICs are measured upstream and carried to your goods by mass balance — your part is retiring one against a purchase. Signal what you want to procure and we’ll prioritize supply.
