We measure value.
BaseX is price discovery for impact. Anyone can file an impact claim, independent evaluators price it with sealed estimates, and every number stays open to challenge. We count positive and negative value, both past and future.
Enhanced rock weathering will remove 1 Mt of CO₂ a year by 2032 across 400,000 ha of partner farmland.
Sample data from the live demo. The highest and lowest estimates are trimmed.
Markets price what they can see.
Most value is invisible.
Clean air, healthy soil and living ecosystems are worth trillions, yet they show up nowhere on a balance sheet. Pollution and harm are left off too. When value can't be measured, it can't be funded, rewarded or held to account.

From claim to consensus,
in the open.
One pipeline turns scattered evidence into a price that people can trust, challenge and act on.
File
Anyone files a claim about impact, good or bad, with evidence in any format. Duplicates are caught automatically.
Evaluate
Independent evaluators submit a low, most-likely and high value. Estimates stay sealed so nobody can copy the crowd.
Converge
After five or more evaluations and a one-week cooling period, the extremes are trimmed and the rest form the consensus.
Challenge
Any claim or evaluation can be disputed. Disputes go to Independent Tribunal and the whole history stays public.
Settle
Forecasts are checked against measured outcomes when their window closes, and accurate evaluators build reputation.
Trust through visible,
challengeable work.
Impact reporting today is mostly self-assessment and PR. BaseX is built so that no single party, including us, decides what something is worth.
Permissionless
There are no gatekeepers and no in-house assessors to train. Anyone can file a claim and anyone can evaluate it, so it scales with the crowd rather than with headcount.
Sealed estimates
Evaluations are committed before others are revealed. Herding and anchoring are designed out, so every estimate is independent.
Robust consensus
The highest and lowest estimates are trimmed and the rest are weighted by confidence. One bad actor can't move the price.
Harms count too
Negative value is first-class. It gives you a full ledger of assets and liabilities instead of a highlight reel, which is the opposite of greenwashing.
Everything challengeable
Every claim, evaluation and dispute is append-only and public. Nothing is deleted quietly, and disagreement is published, not hidden.
Past and future
BaseX prices value that has already happened and value still to come. Forecasts settle against real outcomes, so early-stage moonshots get a price before any market will pay for them.
One number everyone can read.
Everything converges to a single, comparable dollar range, honest about its own uncertainty.
Funders & philanthropy
Compare grants across cause areas with one currency of impact, and fund retroactively against outcomes that were priced in public.
Companies & ESG
Turn sustainability claims into numbers that have been independently priced and can be challenged. The credibility comes from scrutiny, not marketing.
Regenerative producers
Farmers, co-ops and community projects get paid for value the market ignores, with no consultants and no five-figure certification fees.
Impact investors & public goods
Price forecasts and moonshots before a market exists, then follow the price as evidence comes in. Designed to plug into Gitcoin, Karma GAP and Hypercerts.
A data flywheel for the value of everything.
Every consensus is a labelled, challengeable data point about what something is worth to the world. That is exactly the ground truth AI needs and doesn't have.
- AI structures the input: messy reports, photos and spreadsheets become clean claims.
- AI suggests estimates and people price, challenge and correct them.
- Human consensus is the baseline: it steers the models and scores every evaluator, human or AI.
- The more it's used, the sharper it gets: better reputation means better consensus and better data.
What is the biggest threshold point to fix climate change? It's the full cost accounting, tracking the end-to-end impact of every single product and goods.
