CEDR

In diligence

IN MOTIONCarbon inventories

Cedar Span

Certification is in motion. After it lands, access is the scarce thing — not price.

Counsel has a live path. The waitlist is a short list. This pad still takes 0% of proceeds.

Cedar Span — A ledger of energy certificates (GOs, RECs) for producers and offtakers who already sit in a national registry. It moves the event faster. It does not invent a green token for Twitter.

In a 14-day diligence sprint (day 1). This is when the story, the customers and the legal path get written down — or the file stops.

They unpublish in an hour. They will not wait for your committee to finish reading.

Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

The wedge

Offtaker portal

The wedge is double-counting: corporate offtakers are being asked to prove what they bought.

Why the desk took it

A real job, not a ticker.

No public token representing a tonne. We searched.

Traction

One named pilot (redacted).

Founded 2022, headquartered in Geneva. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 6 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 83/100. Sprint day 1 of 14. A named Geneva administrator who already signs the pack (redacted). A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.

Next 12 months

Still dual-record with the registry.

National GO registries are slow. That slowness is the budget. Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.

The brief

How a serious reader should hold this.

Most Carbon inventories decks start with a market size. This one starts with a job: a person at a licensed firm, a record they cannot currently prove, and a calendar that does not wait for a proposed US rule. The calendar is the window. The window is the scarce thing.

What you can verify today is smaller than the slide. What you cannot verify is named as a question, not a promise. That is the difference between this company and a pad listing — and why the waitlist is not a coin queue.

On a Tuesday in Geneva, an exception posts back into the customer’s existing case system. Nobody opens a side spreadsheet. That is the product: the night someone in ops does not stay late.

From counsel

This communication is not an offer. Participation mechanics do not exist on this pad. If a later reader treats the public stack as the offer, the stack was already wrong.

From ops

We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.

From the founder

Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.

The window

Miss this and you read the archive.

Miss a few days and you are explaining to your IC why you read it after it closed.

A supervisor is already forcing a perimeter. Houses that pick software over a coin will buy this now.

We do not allocate. We do not take a cut. We will not hold the window open for you.

Renewal is the round. If nobody renews, there is no company. A token would not fix that.

The bet

Why this company exists.

The wedge is double-counting: corporate offtakers are being asked to prove what they bought.

Corporate offtakers are being asked to prove what they bought. Registries lag. A dual record that the registry still owns is sellable.

GO and REC markets are measured in tens of billions. Ops software is a thin slice with high switching costs.

Versus the field

The incumbent brand sells the relationship. Cedar Span sells the job the brand will not staff. A protocol pitch is the thing this company has already refused. Open-source looks free until the auditor asks who attests.

Named: Geneva. Off-limits: United States retail. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Geneva. Blocking an IP and taking a US Telegram admin is not a block.

How it works

01A certificate that exists in a registry is evented here
02Delivery and retirement are visible to the offtaker
03The registry remains the legal source
04No public ‘carbon token’ sale on this pad
05Delivery and retirement are visible to the offtaker; the registry remains source
06Exceptions post back into the customer’s existing case system — no side spreadsheet.

Operating week

What “in market” actually looks like.

FriKill switchRehearse unpublish in 24 hours. If it takes a committee, it is not a switch.
SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
TueExceptionsOvernight breaks post back into the customer’s case system. No side book.
WedCounselPerimeter diffs. If the site drifted from the memo, the site moves — not the memo.

The wedge

Why this one, not the other one.

They sell: Offtaker portal
Who pays: A named Geneva administrator who already signs the pack (redacted).
Unit economics: Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.
Moat on file: An offtaker has retired a certificate via this event.
Switching cost: The customer’s auditor has seen this book. Switching means a new auditor conversation.
Vs the comps: National GO registries are slow. That slowness is the budget.
Why we listed it: No public token representing a tonne. We searched.

Next twelve months

What has to be true.

Still dual-record with the registry.

A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.

They have not asked us to run a sale. That ask would close the file.

Risks

What can kill it.

The one that actually kills it

The unit of account becomes a token

Seat plus event. If they attach a token as the unit of account, this company is a different company — and not one we will operate a campaign for.

Double count

If the registry and this ledger can both be sold, the product is a liability.

Green token

A freely traded climate token is usually a commodity or a security. This pad will not sell it.

Registry cooperation

Without the registry, this is a shadow certificate.

Policy

GO rules move. The product has to move with them, not ahead of them.

Double count

If the registry and this ledger can both be sold, Cedar Span is a liability. Dual-record or nothing.

Path silence

If counsel will not name a path and not-offering is not locked, heated waitlist copy is an accidental offering.

Ask these next

01Who can unpublish a public sentence in 24 hours, by name?
02Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?
03Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?
04If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?
05Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?
06Where do keys, title, or NAV liability sit — and is that person licensed?

Structure

How money would actually move.

Sprint is diligence, not a raise. A pack at the end is a file the company can take to its own lawyers and investors. RCA Pad does not complete funding.

Where they can operate

Named vs off-limits.

Named markets are where a sentence is allowed. Restricted is where it is not. This is not a worldwide offering.

Who can decide

The technical founder is on the record as Chief executive. Contractors in undisclosed jurisdictions are written down as a fact, not hidden. Facts can be managed. Hiding them is how companies die in diligence.

Year two is a second named market and the remaining certifications — still permissioned. It is not a public book. A public book would be a different company.
