Our take
Where Persefoni leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 6 of the 27 capabilities where they differ (led by activity-based and spend-based calculation and utility bill / meter data processing).
Where Sweep leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 21 of the 27 capabilities where they differ (led by emission factor library and ghg protocol-aligned methodology).
Where they differ
The 27 capabilities (of 59 in the ESG & sustainability taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
