Carbon Tally — Activity Ledger
See which everyday inputs make up an estimate before reaching for a perfect number.
A single carbon total hides the everyday activities that a person can actually inspect and change.
A public deployment is available to try.
Case Study
Before
A carbon estimate is easier to discuss when its assumptions and category breakdown remain visible.
After
The live demo lets people experiment with a transparent synthetic estimate instead of presenting false precision.
How it's solved
Built an activity-ledger interface with add/remove entries, category bars, explicit factors, and a prominent estimate disclaimer.
Trade-offs
Factors are demonstrative and the result is not audited, personalized, or suitable for reporting.
