Funders & strategic partners

Build the infrastructure that turns climate finance disclosure into usable evidence.

Climate Probity has translated its core proposition into a working proof of concept using synthetic data. Founding support would move that model into production, with independence built into how the outputs are produced.

The proposition

A working model, ready to become independent infrastructure.

Climate Probity has translated its core proposition into a working proof of concept using synthetic data. It demonstrates how fragmented records can be connected, how review questions can be surfaced with their source basis attached, and how expert judgment can be incorporated before any conclusion carries weight.

Founding support would move this model into production: secure data infrastructure, broader source coverage, expert review capacity, institutional pilots, and governance designed to protect the independence of the outputs.

What the proof of concept demonstrates

✓The intended workflow: connecting records, surfacing review questions, tracing signals to source documents, and incorporating expert review.

✓How a signal is presented with the question and the source behind it.

✓How a public concern can be traced step by step back to primary documents.

Demonstrated on synthetic data. The proof of concept shows the intended workflow. It does not establish operational effectiveness at scale.

What funding would build

From a working model to production infrastructure.

A proof of concept is not a platform. Support funds the engineering, data, review capacity, and governance a credible service requires.

Data & corpus

A climate-finance corpus, source coverage across the record types that matter, and a secure environment to hold and work with evidence.

Engineering & security

Production systems, access controls, monitoring, and the integrations needed to operate reliably and protect sensitive material.

Review & public access

Domain, peer, and legal review capacity, and the access that lets civil society, journalists, and researchers use the public-interest outputs.

Governance & pilots

The independence mechanisms that protect conclusions, and decision-support pilots with partners to test the institutional layer in practice.

How progress can be checked

Milestones a funder can hold us to.

Secure data infrastructure in place, with an initial corpus across priority source types.

Expert review workflow operating end to end on real records, with quality controls.

Closed pilots with selected oversight or assurance partners, evaluated against their own needs.

Independent governance constituted, ahead of any public-register operation.

Independence

Independence is essential to the credibility of the outputs.

The outputs are worth funding because no funder controls them. Governance is designed so that no funder, subject, or partner can shape a conclusion. A conclusion that a funder could shape would be worth little to the institutions meant to rely on it.

What funder support does not buy

Influence over findings, advance sign-off on conclusions, favorable treatment of a grantee or partner, or any claim of endorsement.

Pilots

What an initial institutional pilot would test.

A pilot is how the model meets real records and real review decisions. It is designed to learn, not to claim.

Whether surfaced signals are relevant to institutional review decisions.

Whether source traces reduce the time spent assembling evidence.

Whether users understand the distinction between a signal and a finding.

Where false positives, missing context, or workflow friction arise.

What access, governance, and operating model institutions will accept.

Fund the layer that makes climate finance records usable as evidence.
