CNaught, a company focused on improving transparency and quality in carbon markets, has unveiled a free AI-powered Portfolio Assessment Tool aimed at helping carbon credit buyers evaluate their purchases with scientific rigor and instant insights.
For many buyers, understanding the effectiveness of their carbon credit strategy remains a challenge long after the purchase.
A common question buyers ask is whether they balanced avoidance and removal credits correctly — but getting that answer used to mean hiring expensive consultants or spending hours digging through complex reports.
CNaught’s new tool eliminates that barrier by offering instant portfolio evaluations at no cost, according to an announcement on the company’s website.

The tool analyzes carbon credit portfolios using CNaught’s scientific frameworks and artificial intelligence (AI) technology, delivering actionable insights on diversification, integrity risks, and opportunities for improvement.
Buyers can access the tool online, input their previously purchased projects, and receive a comprehensive report in minutes.
Key features include a diversification analysis by project type and geography, integrity screening, risk flagging, and benchmarking against the broader market and CNaught’s own portfolios.
“Together, we’re working to raise the bar on integrity across the market and empowering participants to make smarter climate investments,” CNaught co-founder Rachel Engstrand wrote.
While the tool provides a science-backed overview, CNaught cautions that it should not replace expert guidance.
Generative AI can make mistakes, so users are encouraged to contact the company’s team for support when making important decisions or seeking a deeper review.
This initiative aligns with CNaught’s broader mission to scale market-wide improvements and help buyers refine their carbon procurement strategies.
