Carbon Blue Solutions builds practical climate tools that make truthful sustainability communication the default. EcoAppraise™ is our flagship product: a fast, AI-assisted green-claims checker with deep, evidence-aware reviews. Brands, agencies, and creators run a free instant check (web page or copy). When risk appears, a paid review applies our deterministic rubric (EA-SC-1.0) to produce a clear LOW / MED / HIGH risk rating, line-by-line guidance, and editable language that aligns with UK/CMA, EU green-claims rules, and U.S. guidance. Outputs are tamper-evident PDFs with a QR Verify link so comms, sales, and legal teams can approve and share with confidence. We don’t sell hype; we help you publish claims you can stand behind. Why now: enforcement and public scrutiny are accelerating. Vague “eco/green/carbon-neutral” claims are being challenged, and marketers need fast, defensible ways to substantiate or revise language before it ships. How we work: Free checks to spot issues early; paid analyses for substantiation, rewrites, and fixes. Evidence-aware scoring that recognizes certifications and reliable documentation. Jurisdiction-aware guidance and plain-English “what to change” notes. QR-verifiable reports with server-stored hashes for auditability. Business model: self-serve reports for teams of any size, plus enterprise bundles and an affiliate/channel program for partners who review lots of content. Beyond EcoAppraise, Carbon Blue Solutions licenses climate IP such as the Oasis Cone™ system for desert afforestation—our broader mission is to pair credible communication with real-world impact. We’re a lean, product-driven team shipping fast with users. If you care about rigorous claims, clean UX, and measurable climate outcomes, you’ll fit right in.
