Baking accounting logic into the data layer is a common mistake. Here is why the platform should focus on trusted ingestion and leave the “compute” to the products above.
A common architectural mistake
Many firms try to bake carbon-accounting logic into the data platform; then every methodology change forces a platform change, and multiple regulation projects collide.
What “move, don’t compute” means
The platform only ingests, governs and certifies multi-source ERP/MES/IoT data with lineage, quality, monitoring, security and multi-tenancy; accounting is left to products like PCF and Organizational Carbon above it.
Why it pays off
One trusted dataset is reused by 11 products, methodology iterates without touching the base, new regulation projects plug in, and duplicate build cost drops markedly over time.
