Overview of the Terrascope Measurement Journey: 5 phases

The Terrascope platform guides organizations through five structured phases, each designed to help build a solid foundation for emission measurement. By following these steps, users can establish reliable processes to measure, review, and manage their carbon footprint with accuracy and confidence.

Each phase is interconnected: on-boarding and setup establish user roles and data structures that are vital for collecting and processing accurate data. Quality data collection enables a robust review, while systematic review ensures only verified data informs analytics and reports.

This is the first phase, where organizations set up their accounts, configure user roles, and gain access to relevant platform features. Proper on-boarding ensures that every stakeholder understands their responsibilities and that the platform is tailored to the organization’s structure.

✅Sets up user accounts, roles, and permissions.

✅Ensures all relevant stakeholders are identified early for smooth collaboration.

✅*Onboarding Questionnaire: Clears key dependencies, so organizations know exactly what information and team structures are needed. - Coming soon.

Here, users define the organizational structure by mapping business units. Accurate set-up lays a solid groundwork for data collection and future reporting, as emissions must be allocated correctly across business units for meaningful analysis.

✅Create the organizational chart to best represent and interpret the company’s value chain

✅Accurate structure enables targeted data campaigns and correct allocation of emissions to business units.

✅Helps support identifying high-impact areas and prioritizing sustainability efforts during analysis.

During this phase, organizations launch data campaigns and assign data collection tasks to relevant personnel to collect activity data. Automated validation and standardized uploads ensure high-quality, reliable data for accurate emissions measurement.

✅Assign and manage data collection tasks efficiently with the Data Campaign flow.

✅Use standardized uploads and automated validation to ensure reliable data.

✅Automated emission factor matching and calculation provide fast and accurate emissions results.

Collected data is then reviewed and validated by carbon managers, environmental experts, and other stakeholders. This collaborative review process helps to confirm data accuracy, flag inconsistencies, and perform any necessary adjustments before final calculations.

✅Clear steps to verify and validate submitted data, and monitor progress throughout the process.

✅Enables multi-step review for transparency and traceability.

✅The transparent workflow enhances credibility and audit-readiness.

Finally, users leverage the platform’s analytics features to visualize results, generate reports, and identify emissions reduction opportunities. This step transitions measurement data into actionable insights, supporting both internal decision-making and external reporting requirements.

✅Transforms validated data into reports and insights.

✅Analytics tools highlight emissions hotspots and support reduction planning.

✅Insights guide decisions, stakeholder engagement, and external reporting.

This structured approach maximizes efficiency, transparency, and value for organizations seeking to understand and reduce their GHG emissions using the Terrascope platform.
