Audited planning profile

This couple ten-year profile applies a 2× editable baseline across 120 model periods to the household gas compare model.

USE THIS PROFILE TO

Compare resource use or environmental impact with the same boundary, quantity and time horizon.

DECISION RULE

Use the difference between option A and option B; keep the scale and horizon identical for both. Agree on shared inputs and ownership before comparing the two-person result. Use a wide uncertainty range; small recurring assumption errors compound substantially over ten years.

NOT INCLUDED

Emission factors, lifecycle boundaries, grid mix, water stress and local waste treatment differ by source and location.

VERIFY BEFORE ACTING

Use a dated, regional factor from an official inventory or recognized lifecycle dataset and state the boundary.
