Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Skoog is a verified early-stage climate technology company backed by Antler and Innovation Norway, offering legitimate utility in carbon credit verification using remote sensing. However, the project submission contains significant false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lacks verifiable user metrics. The score reflects the high potential and backing of the actual company, severely penalized by the credibility issues in the submission data.

Project Details

Description
Skoog uses a wide array of technologies including remote sensing, computer vision and advanced analytics to supply high quality forest and agriculture based carbon credits. We give landowners of all property sizes simplified access to carbon markets, providing incentives to preserve and restore forests and improve agricultural practices. Applying the latest computer vision algorithms on satellite images and LiDAR data, we automate and digitise the entire process of identifying properties, estimating risk, certifying, creating contracts, monitoring, and managing payments to landowners. The credits are offered to companies looking to offset emissions as part of their net-zero strategy and incentivise systemic change towards sustainable land use. Skoog is backed by Antler and Innovation Norway.
