Existing inventories are slow, self-reported, and disconnected from atmospheric evidence such as flux towers and radiocarbon measurements.\n\n### Why Tardis Wins\nTardis can fuse policy documents, sensor feeds, flux data, radiocarbon datasets, and satellite proxies into a Cloudflare-native knowledge graph with AI agents that continuously reconcile reported emissions against atmospheric evidence. Workers, R2, D1, and AI Gateway make it possible to build a low-latency, globally scalable MRV layer without heavy infrastructure.\n\n### Approach\nStart with a pilot dashboard for 5-10 cities that ingests public flux, radiocarbon, traffic, energy, and policy data to generate emission-reduction verification scores. Then package an API for city governments, climate consultants, and carbon registries to audit policy impact.\n\n### Revenue Model\nCharge subscriptions and API fees for policy verification, emissions MRV dashboards, and audit-ready urban carbon intelligence reports.\n\n### Risks\nScientific uncertainty and sparse radiocarbon/flux coverage may limit confidence in city-level attribution without careful modeling.\n\n**Source:** [https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2026/egusphere-2026-4203/](https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2026/egusphere-2026-4203/)\n\n---\n\n## 7.
