Balanced systemic potential: 71–86/100
85% of weighted axes reviewed. A mechanism hypothesis, not proven effectiveness or a donation recommendation.

The proposed pathway

Carbon-removal policy and accountability

Six dimensions, with rationale

Structural depth

4 / 4

Targets public procurement, incentives and accountability for a carbon-removal field.

Institutional reach

3 / 4

U.S. federal policy can influence a national market.

Durability

3 / 4

Standards and procurement rules can persist but funding and politics change.

Scalability

3 / 4

Shared policy and measurement frameworks can affect many projects.

Funding additionality

Unreviewed

Unknown: a current marginal funding gap, counterfactual and delivery capacity have not been audited.

Community agency

Unreviewed

Unknown: decision rights and accountability to affected people have not been audited.

Evidence and selection

Organization reported

Illustrative inclusion to examine this mechanism. Inclusion is not an external recommendation or a verified comparative ranking.

A testable next question

Adopted policy should fund additional verified durable removal with accountable community safeguards.

Review confidence: Low for systemic attribution; organization description only. Documented intervention design; not a complete audit of this organization.

What remains uncertain

No current evaluator recommendation was verified here. Carbon removed must be additional, durably stored and net of lifecycle emissions.
