Why are projects no longer reviewed?
In the old carbon calculator, users were required to send projects for review. The AdGreen team reviewed projects which met certain criteria regarding size and budget, checking for any errors or omissions, and once happy with any updates, marked them as complete. Completed projects went into the industry dataset.
In the making of this tool, we have improved the Final Footprint design to vastly reduce the opportunity to miss the items which were routinely queried when reviewing previously. The reviewing process (which had a 10 day turnaround time) also created issues where freelance staff who had finished up then had to make amendments to projects - this is no longer an issue, as users can now mark their own projects as 'finished' when they are ready (don't worry, they can be reopened if you've forgotten something!). Finished projects go into the industry dataset.
