Methodology Graph, Energy Web

live

Callable today. For most kinds a generated calculator exists; for compositions, the umbrella resolves at call time by walking its components. Available via the kind-specific endpoint (/v1/calculate, /v1/lookup, /v1/frameworks, /v1/registries).

planned

Recognised as a real methodology and queued for extraction. The calculator package is not yet generated. The methodology will land automatically once the extract step succeeds with high confidence.

candidate

Recognised as a target for extraction but not yet started. Indicative roadmap entry.

reference

Tracked for graph completeness only. Informational, not on the extraction path.

Stated in the source

A model re-read the published source and confirmed the text states this dependency. The confirmed passage is shown in the panel.

Identified from the source

Identified from the source material when the methodology was processed. The source is linked where available.

How these standards are organized

A documented organizational relationship between standards (for example, a registry's project protocols operating under its core framework), direction-checked against the program structure.

Tier A

Methodology bodies. Originate the standards (GHG Protocol, ISO, IPCC, Verra, ACR, etc).

Tier B

Regulators and government agencies that adopt, mandate or certify methodologies.

Tier C

Factor databases. Provide the numeric inputs (emission factors, grid intensity, LCA data).

L1

Constitutional accounting standards. The top of the stack. GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, IPCC inventory guides.

L2

Disclosure & target-setting frameworks. TCFD, ISSB, SBTi.

L3

Sector & activity methodologies. Per-protocol, per-sector quantification rules.

L4

Registries & issuance infrastructure. Verra, ACR, Gold Standard, Puro.earth.

L5

Integrity & meta-standards. ICVCM, CCQI, Oxford Principles.

L6

Demand-side buyer frameworks. SBTi, RE100, climate commitments.

L7

Compliance regimes. CBAM, EU ETS, regulated mandatory schemes.

V / R / B

Methodology mode: Voluntary, Regulatory (binding), or Both (a voluntary standard adopted by a regulator).

mature / active / emerging / greenfield

Adoption stage: how broadly the methodology is used today.

formula / lookup / composition / framework / registry

Methodology kind: callable formula, lookup table (also called a dataset in older docs, typically emission factors, GWPs, or fuel properties; the underlying data is exposed as a factor set), umbrella composition with named components, framework spec, or registry rules.
