Public Impact Ledger · Locked Apr 26, 2026

We pay the bill. Then we pay it ten times over.

Every drop of water, kilowatt of energy, and gram of carbon CGA's AI consumes will be tracked from production data, published here, and offset ten times over through verified charities.

10×
For every unit of environmental cost we generate, we fund ten times the offset.
A note on the numbers

If the numbers below look small, that's the point.

The CGA OS is built on primitives, not platforms. Every tool, every workflow, every line of code is composed from the smallest set of components that gets the job done. Nothing wastes. Nothing duplicates. Nothing runs unless something needs it.

The result is a studio that produces real work on a fraction of the compute most AI operations consume. A small footprint is not a beginner's apology. It is the design choice. The fact that we can publish these numbers and they remain modest at scale is the proof that primitives beat platforms.

Watch the numbers grow as the work grows. Watch them stay smaller than you would expect.

Methodology

How the numbers are calculated.

Every Anthropic API call CGA makes will be logged with token counts and tool source in our Supabase database. Tokens will convert to water, energy, and carbon using peer-reviewed factors from Shaolei Ren (UC Riverside) and How Hungry is AI? Quarterly, a scheduled job will calculate total impact, apply the 10× multiplier, and trigger donations via Stripe Climate and the Daffy Developer API to the recipients listed above.

Every conversion factor will remain public. Every token log will be queryable. Every donation receipt will be linkable. If a number ever looks wrong, tell us.
