Methodology Selection & PDD Support

The methodology you register under shapes cost, credit volume, and buyer trust. We match your project to the best-fit standard and methodology (for example Verra VM0042), then write the Project Design Document and supporting evidence needed for validation and registration.

Who it's for

  • Developers preparing to register a SOC project
  • Teams unsure whether VM0042 or an alternative fits
  • Projects needing PDD authoring and validation support

How it works

  1. 1

    Methodology fit

    Compare candidate standards and methodologies against your practices and geography.

  2. 2

    Design

    Set the baseline, additionality argument, quantification route, and monitoring plan.

  3. 3

    PDD authoring

    Draft the Project Design Document and evidence pack to the standard's template.

  4. 4

    Validation support

    Respond to validator findings through to registration.

What you get

  • Methodology recommendation with rationale
  • Complete Project Design Document (PDD)
  • Monitoring plan and evidence pack
  • Validation response support

Frequently asked questions

Which methodology should a soil carbon project use?+

For improved agricultural land management, Verra VM0042 is the leading choice. The best fit still depends on crops, region, and data — confirm per project rather than assuming.

What is a PDD?+

A Project Design Document describes the project, baseline, additionality, quantification, and monitoring. It is the core document a validator and registry assess.
