Section 3. VM0047 Stocking Index (SI) – Minimum Requirements and Attestations

Please provide details about the technical specifications of the Stocking Index (SI) data product your organization plans to provide project proponents (PPs).

Note: Specific project level documentation may also be required during validation/verification as requested by the PP, Verra, or VVB.

3.1 Spatial Resolution

The SI dataset provided for projects must have final spatial resolution finer than 30 m × 30 m (i.e., pixel size ≤ 30 m) for all years provided. Describe your source data and processing steps that ensure the delivered SI maintains this resolution.

Our organization will ensure that the SI data we provide meets the spatial resolution requirements specified by VM0047. *

Yes No

Short explanation/description of the spatial resolution of the SI data product(s) your company provides: *

Links to supporting documentation (optional)

3.2 Temporal Resolution

The SI must be available at least annually, covering relevant baseline and monitoring years for the project. Describe the cadence at which the SI is produced and any constraints or gaps.

Our organization will ensure that the SI data is available on an annual basis for any project we support. *

Yes No

Please provide a short explanation of the temporal resolution of your data products (≤200 words): *

Links to supporting documentation (optional)

3.3 Seasonality Control

Optical imagery used to generate the SI should be constrained to a consistent seasonal window each year to limit phenology and atmospheric effects. Describe the seasonal window(s) and quality filters you apply.

Our organization will ensure that the SI data we provide for any project meets the consistent seasonality requirements specified in VM0047. *

Yes No

Short explanation (≤200 words): *

Links to supporting documentation (optional)

3.4 Correlation with Aboveground Biomass (AGB)

Provide evidence that your SI (or equivalent metric) is correlated with AGB in the forest types or ecoregions you support. Indicate how you will demonstrate project‑specific correlation for validation (e.g., local plots, literature, cross‑validation).

Our organization will only provide SI data where we can provide evidence that the SI is correlated with AGB in the forest type or ecoregion in which the project is located. *

Yes No

Please provide a short explanation of your process for assessing correlation of your SI with AGB for unique project locations (≤200 words): *

Links to supporting documentation (optional)

Section 4. Service Commitments

Our organization will deliver all required SI datasets, project and control plot inputs (where applicable), and accompanying methodological logic and process documentation upon request by the project proponent, Verra, or VVB for projects we support. *

Yes No

Where review of code or other proprietary components is necessary, our organization will work in good faith to enable third‑party assessment through code sharing, controlled access, documentation, or other reasonable means sufficient to support validation, verification, and assurance of project‑level integrity. *

Yes No

Our organization will deliver all data and documentation in auditable formats within agreed timelines for listing, validation, and verification events. *

Yes No

Our organization will notify Verra of any material updates or changes to SI generation methods or selection procedures that affect previously provided project data. *

Yes No

Our organization will notify Verra of any changes requested by the project proponent in the methods or selection procedures that affect previously provided project data. *

Yes No

Our organization can securely transfer VM0047 performance benchmark outputs into Verra’s Project Hub through a documented API or equivalent system-to-system integration pathway. *

Yes No

Does your organization have plans to develop a documented API or equivalent system-to-system integration pathway in the near term (< 2years)? Optional

Yes No
