MRV design
Defining what is measured, how, how often, and who verifies it, before collection begins.
MRV means measurement, reporting and verification. Designing it means deciding, before any data is collected, what will be measured, by what method, at what frequency, with what sample size, and who will verify it. Deciding after the fact is how projects end up with data nobody accepts.
What this includes
- Parameter selection against the intended claim
- Method and instrument specification
- Sampling design and frequency
- Baseline definition and recording
- Uncertainty treatment and reporting format
- Independent verification route identification
- What you receiveOutput
- MRV protocol document with methods, frequencies and verification route
- When you need itTiming
- Before a project starts, not when a buyer asks for evidence.
Designing MRV after the project is running. Baselines cannot be recreated retrospectively, and without a baseline the claim has no anchor.
