Instead, we invite and support qualified Impact Partners to receive and process the verified impact data captured via Connect. These trusted partners are equipped to interpret, analyze, and generate claims or reports based on their professional expertise—ensuring that all insights are scientific, credible, contextual, and independently evaluated.
