Methods in plain words

Canonical data model

One shared structure for certificates from every source, so the same credit listed in three places is recognised as one.

Fair value

A machine-learning estimate of what a credit should cost, given its standard, type, vintage, risks and co-benefits.

SHAP

A method that splits a model’s estimate into contributions per feature, shown in euros, so users can see why a value is high or low.

Anomaly detection

Flags listings whose price or registry history looks unusual compared with similar credits, as a prompt for human review.

Smart procurement routing

Weighs price against evidence quality, vintage and project risk across venues and OTC quotes, and can split one order across counterparties.

Human in the loop

The agent prepares recommendations and orders. A person always approves before anything is bought.
