Methodology to policy.
Automated.
The MGS AI Toolkit converts carbon credit and emission methodology documents into machine-readable schemas, calculation code, and policy workflows. What previously took months is reduced to approximately 30 minutes.

The bottleneck.
Carbon credit methodologies from Verra, UNFCCC, Gold Standard, and the GHG Protocol are dense, highly technical documents. A single methodology can span 100 to 500 pages of parameters, equations, compliance logic, and reporting requirements. Digitizing one into a functional policy takes weeks to months of manual work by a team of domain experts. This is the single largest bottleneck in scaling digital MRV infrastructure.
The solution.
Upload a methodology PDF. The toolkit reads it, understands its structure, and produces production-ready outputs that deploy directly to Guardian. Seven automated stages handle everything from document parsing and parameter extraction to schema generation, calculation code, and validation. What previously required a team of specialists and months of work completes in approximately 30 minutes.
Seven automated stages.
Each methodology is processed through a complete pipeline, from raw document to deployment-ready artifacts.
Document Ingestion
PDF and DOCX files are parsed with advanced document processing, including table structure recognition and formula capture. Every page, table, and equation is captured with full fidelity.
Structure Analysis
The methodology's table of contents, section hierarchy, and page ranges are mapped automatically, creating a navigable blueprint of the entire document.
Parameter Extraction
Every parameter, variable, constant, and data field is identified along with its metadata, units, constraints, and relationships to other parameters.
Equation Mapping
Mathematical equations are extracted, variables are resolved against the parameter index, and a full dependency graph is built showing how calculations flow through the methodology.
Schema Generation
Guardian-compatible Project Design Document and Monitoring schemas are generated in both JSON and Excel formats, ready for direct import into a policy.
Code Generation
Calculation code is produced for every equation in the methodology, with proper variable mapping, unit handling, and Guardian-compatible function signatures.
Validation
Automated cross-validation compares generated outputs against the source document. Confidence scores, coverage analysis, and flagged items are surfaced for human review.
What you get.
Every pipeline run produces a complete set of deployment-ready artifacts.
Guardian Schemas
JSON and Excel schema definitions for PDD and Monitoring data, structured for direct import. Includes field types, validation rules, conditional visibility, and hierarchical grouping.
Calculation Code
Production code for every equation in the methodology. Each function maps inputs to schema fields, handles unit conversions, and follows Guardian conventions.
Custom Logic Blocks
Pre-wired logic blocks that connect calculation code to schema field paths. The executable components that automate data processing within a policy workflow.
Validation Reports
Detailed reports showing extraction confidence scores, parameter coverage, equation completeness, and items flagged for manual review. Full auditability from source to output.
Semantic Knowledge Base
Every processed methodology is indexed into a searchable database. Query with natural language to find specific parameters, equations, or compliance requirements across all ingested methodologies.
Supported standards.
Additional frameworks supported as they are published and adopted.
Built for every stakeholder.
For Project Developers
Upload the methodology your project follows. The toolkit extracts everything you need to build a compliant policy. Review the generated schemas, verify the calculation code, and deploy. What used to be a multi-month integration project becomes a focused review and deployment cycle.
For Standards Bodies
Digitize your methodology catalog at scale. Process multiple methodologies through the pipeline to build a library of machine-readable policy templates. Enable project developers to adopt your methodologies faster by providing Guardian-ready schema packages.
For Auditors and Verifiers
Use the semantic knowledge base to query methodology requirements during verification. Search across all ingested methodologies with natural language. Validation reports provide an auditable trail from source document to generated output.
