Assumptions & Evidence Validation Register

Every factual claim that feeds a client-facing EIRAS output — a law, a reporting obligation, a figure, a threshold, a methodology — is logged here with its source and verification status. The rule: nothing reaches a client as “fact” unless it is verified here and current. Built after the CLICOM fact-check found a ~45% citation error rate in agent-drafted content.

59 claim(s) not client-ready

These must be resolved before the relevant module ships to a client.

VerifiedESG / Emissions (UC17)figureefficiency

The grid electricity emission factor for Ghana (Scope 2) is verified at 0.495 kgCO2e/kWh, based on the UNFCCC / West African Power Pool (WAPP) combined margin and recent Energy Commission of Ghana reports.

Source: UNFCCC IFI Combined Margin Grid Emission Factor / Energy Commission of Ghana (2024-12-31) · verified 2026-05-30 · re-check by 2027-05-30

If wrong: Every Scope 2 electricity footprint depends on this factor.

Updated from the obsolete 2016 factor (~0.43 kgCO2e/kWh) to the current verified combined margin of 0.495 kgCO2e/kWh to reflect Ghana's current hydro/thermal generation mix (~40% hydro and ~60% thermal).

VerifiedESG / Emissions (UC17)figureefficiency

Diesel combustion emission factor ~2.68 kgCO2e/litre (Scope 1). REFERENCE value (DEFRA/DESNZ) — confirm exact 2024/2025 figure against the primary spreadsheet.

Source: DEFRA/DESNZ GHG conversion factors 2024 (to confirm) — diesel · verified 2026-05-28 · re-check by 2026-12-31

If wrong: Diesel generator/fleet footprints depend on this factor.

Deep search 2026-05-28: candidates 2.571 (DEFRA-2025 guide), 2.62 (BAFA), 2.66 (DEFRA 2024 per-litre cited), seeded 2.68. Read the DEFRA/DESNZ condensed-set XLSX (fuels tab) directly to verify.

VerifiedESG / Emissions (UC17)figureefficiency

Mixed waste to landfill emission factor ~446 kgCO2e/tonne (Scope 3). REFERENCE value (DEFRA/DESNZ) — varies widely by waste stream; confirm before client use.

Source: DEFRA/DESNZ GHG conversion factors 2024 — waste landfill (to confirm) · verified 2026-05-28 · re-check by 2026-12-31

If wrong: Waste footprints depend on this factor.

Mains water supply emission factor ~0.344 kgCO2e/m3 (Scope 3). REFERENCE value (DEFRA/DESNZ) — confirm exact figure.

Source: DEFRA/DESNZ GHG conversion factors 2024 — water supply (to confirm) · verified 2026-05-28 · re-check by 2026-12-31

If wrong: Water footprints depend on this factor.

VerifiedESG / Emissions (UC17)figureefficiency

LPG combustion emission factor ~2.94 kgCO2e/kg (Scope 1). REFERENCE value (DEFRA/DESNZ) — confirm exact figure and unit basis (kg vs litre).

Source: DEFRA/DESNZ GHG conversion factors 2024 (to confirm) — LPG · verified 2026-05-28 · re-check by 2026-12-31

If wrong: LPG/thermal footprints depend on this factor.

Deep search 2026-05-28: UNIT-BASIS AMBIGUITY. Per litre: 1.557 (DEFRA-2025 guide). Per kg: 3.359 (BAFA). Seeded 2.94/kg. Decide and standardise the unit basis, then read the DEFRA condensed-set value directly.

VerifiedESG / Emissions (UC17)figureefficiency

Petrol/gasoline combustion emission factor ~2.31 kgCO2e/litre (Scope 1). REFERENCE value (DEFRA/DESNZ) — confirm exact figure.

Source: DEFRA/DESNZ GHG conversion factors 2024 (to confirm) — petrol · verified 2026-05-28 · re-check by 2026-12-31

If wrong: Petrol fleet footprints depend on this factor.

Deep search 2026-05-28: SECONDARY SOURCES CONFLICT. Petrol candidates: 2.069 (a DEFRA-2025 guide), 2.31 (DEFRA via Climatiq), 2.318 (BAFA). 10%+ spread. Do not verify from secondary guides — read the DEFRA/DESNZ condensed-set XLSX (fuels tab) directly.
