Evaluation platform

The World Forest ID Evaluation platform gives multiple stakeholders and laboratories the utility of World Forest ID’s reference data and peer- reviewed origin models, trained with our unique and growing global sample reference dataset. The platform allows users to scrutinize traded products and forest-connected supply chains for timber, and soon for soy and cocoa, thereby supporting companies and certification schemes, as well as auditors and regulators that want objective scientific information about provenance.

The reference data that is used to develop the platform has been created with non-proprietary protocols, and replicated by multiple laboratories. This means that it is possible to compare the chemistry of traded samples measured at many different laboratories, that are demonstrably able to analyze samples using the same preparation and measurement processes, and get the same measurements. We call this process 'lab calibration', and it is necessary so that the chemical measurements of a traded sample can be confidently compared with our stable isotope ratio and trace element reference data to give reliable evaluation results. If you would like to know which laboratories and commercial service providers have worked with us to ensure that their measurements are comparable with our reference data, please get in touch.

The platform is currently in beta testing with partners, but we plan to formally launch it in January 2025, and expand its functionality and availability more broadly in 2026, subject to funding.
