90-day paid pilot
Prove the carbon data pipeline
on one real facility.
VantageHSG runs a focused 90-day pilot for Ontario manufacturers: we ingest your existing MTCs, fuel slips, LIMS exports, or SAP extracts, normalize the data, run mass balance, and return an audit-ready carbon report with a visible ledger.
Pilot package
Not a free consulting engagement. A paid proof of pipeline fit.
The pilot is designed to answer one question: can your facility's real operating data be converted into a defensible carbon number faster, cheaper, and with more lineage than the spreadsheet process you use today?
Connect the messy source
Start with MTCs, fuel slips, LIMS exports, SAP reports, utility bills, moisture readings, or bath chemistry logs — whichever source is painful enough to prove value.
Normalize units and lineage
Convert wet tonnes to dry tonnes, GJ to MMBtu, tonnes to kg, and keep every source document, transformation, operator, and timestamp in the ledger.
Run the carbon math
Apply version-pinned ECCC, IESO, EEIO, or customer-provided factors. Where process data is rich, calculate from first principles and mass balance.
Deliver the report
Produce a sample carbon report with assumptions, source lineage, variance, missing data, and a clear recommendation for paid deployment.
What we measure
Success has to be measurable before you expand.
We do not sell a dashboard first. We prove the data layer. The pilot scorecard is built around ingestion quality, math accuracy, audit completeness, and whether your team would pay to remove the spreadsheet layer.
- Source ingestion rate — what percentage of eligible MTCs, slips, and exports were parsed without manual re-entry.
- Unit normalization accuracy — wet/dry, energy, mass, and currency conversions checked against known baselines.
- Mass balance closure — input, output, loss, scrap, and variance tracked by product line or facility.
- Audit ledger completeness — every factor, source document, and transformation traceable to a timestamped record.
- Report turnaround — days from source data to usable carbon number, compared with the current workflow.
Pilot scorecard
| Metric | Baseline | Pilot target |
|---|---|---|
| Source data parsed | Manual spreadsheets | ≥ 70% eligible docs |
| Unit conversions | Human review | 100% traceable |
| Mass balance | Not tracked | Variance reported |
| Audit trail | PDF or folder | Immutable ledger |
| Report turnaround | Quarterly / annual | Within 7 days |
Timeline
Four weeks to first report. Ninety days to deployment decision.
| Phase | Duration | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Scope lock | Week 1 | Choose facility, product line, data sources, report format, and success metrics. |
| 2. Ingest + normalize | Weeks 1–3 | Source docs parsed, units normalized, lineage captured, exceptions flagged. |
| 3. Calculate + reconcile | Weeks 3–5 | Mass balance, emission factor application, variance review, and assumptions log. |
| 4. Report + decision | Weeks 5–12 | Sample carbon report, audit ledger export, deployment plan, and paid conversion path. |
Paid pilot
If the pipeline works, you keep the system.
If it doesn't, you still get the ledger.
Starter starts at $299/month for a single facility. Growth starts at $599/month when Scope 3, multi-facility reporting, or primary supplier data is required.
