EldHollow's Standard Review is the company's flagship product. It leverages years of expertise in socioeconomics, geospatial analysis, and customer relations to deliver a thorough assessment of carbon offset projects. Project scores are based on performance against EldHollow's quality benchmarks, ensuring the scores are among the most objective and transparent available on the market. Each review follows a consistent structure, including an introduction, scoring summary, and benchmark category sections. Within each benchmark category, we provide explanations for why a project meets or does not meet the criteria, along with relevant references and images. Each section involves extensive research and cross-validation between project documentation and third-party sources to guarantee accuracy and the use of the latest scientific findings. EldHollow's geospatial analysis pipeline supports most review sections, including a direct assessment of the project's baseline over time.

Project scoring is customizable based on customer values. For example, if you value baselines and additionality more than other categories, you can increase how much those benchmarks impact the score. Or, if there is a specific benchmark important to you, you can increase the impact of that benchmark. There are two ways to do this, either 1) by project type or 2) for an individual project.

Reviews are updated as new information becomes available, and customers receive notifications whenever significant revisions are made to reviews. Project developers will occasionally provide new documentation after a review has been published, or new insights will come to light that affects how a project's quality is perceived. When this happens, EldHollow will update the review, and any customers who purchased the review will receive a notification the review has been updated, why the update occurred, and how the update affects project scoring. 

Pre-Issuance Reviews share the same structure as Standard Reviews, but they offer two sets of scores. Current Scores provide insight into how the project compares to EldHollow's project quality benchmarks in its current state of development. Potential Scores predict how the project could score by its first issuance if it is able to execute on implementation goals. Each Pre-Issuance Review also provides a development stage tracker showing where the project is in its development cycle. These reviews will receive more frequent updates than Standard Reviews since the project development process is dynamic, and developers are constantly updating their targets and methodologies. 

Pre-Issuance Reviews are an excellent resource for customers seeking insights into potential project quality in order to form early offtake agreements. When a project issues its first credits, EldHollow will transition the review into a Standard Review.
