Trusted Data & Harmonized Analysis
Koi builds on established methodologies, unlocking their application at scale. Our auditable analyses combine life cycle emissions data, industry research, and market intelligence from leading sources. Built on the foundation of existing and emerging third-party frameworks and methods, Koi’s harmonized approach and digital models apply a consistent methodology, enabling fair comparisons and comprehensive investigations into each solution's climate impact potential.
Comprehensive Data Integration: We start with data from peer-reviewed LCA studies, industry reports, and authoritative databases to ensure robust impact calculations.
Software-Assisted Analysis: Programmatic methodology application enables models that can be built upon, revisited, improved, and consistently scaled into comprehensive portfolio analyses, unlocking advanced analytical capabilities across diverse technologies and markets.
Transparent Assumptions: All modeling assumptions are clearly documented. We cite our sources. We believe that this emphasis on practical transparency enables stakeholders to understand and validate impact projections more quickly and more rigorously without losing sight of the larger narratives. In summary, we build models as packages that can be unboxed.
