Impact methodology

How Broke Works estimates landfill diversion and avoided emissions.

Impact numbers are estimates based on equipment category averages. They are meant to make restoration impact visible, not to serve as certified carbon accounting.

When a Digital Twin receives an impact estimate, Broke Works stores a snapshot so the customer-facing number remains stable even if category defaults improve later.
