The record
The register's whole coverage to date, in three views: the California compliance table, the Australian scheme at event level, and the voluntary market. Edition one dates the voluntary events to their deciding documents: eight Verra projects that were exposures in edition 0.1 are now events, each naming the project, the dates and the document that decided it. The document itself is held and cited, never reproduced. Edition one contains editions zero and 0.1.

These eight projects were undated exposures in edition 0.1. Each is now an event: the project, the date it occurred and the date it became public, the quantity where the deciding document states one, the cause in the document's terms, and the document itself named. The register holds each document in a retrieval-logged store and cites it; it never reproduces the registry's own pages. Where the document does not state a quantity, the buffer figure carried in the exposures below is the database's, and stays undated.
26,034 ha excluded from the project area after an unresolved land-title conflict; the verified reductions from the excluded area treated as lost. A buffer cancellation and a replenishment plan were agreed with Verra.
Deciding document: Verra loss event report and project review report, on the VCS registry.
Verra opened a quality control review; the grounds and any loss quantity are not stated in the review notification or the completion letter. The buffer figure the VROD database records, 5,049,473, is registry data, carried in the voluntary exposures as undated.
Deciding document: Verra review notification and review completion letter.
one unresolved finding common to all four: alleged falsified documentation and authorisation from local authorities. The buffer quantities are registry data, not decided by the letters.
Deciding document: Four Verra project rejection letters, VCS registry.
emission reductions and removals quantified in excess of the correct amount; the proponent is responsible for remedying the excess.
Deciding document: Verra review completion letter.
open findings in the project review report the proponent could not address in the extended timeframe; the validation/verification body withdrew the fourth verification statement. Recorded as an eligibility action, not classed as a loss event.
Deciding document: Validation/verification body withdrawal request, VCS registry.
largest eight by credits · denominator: 6,458,623 voluntary-only credits
Exposures: the database names the project and the quantity it records as reversed, withdrawn or rejected, never a date, so each carries occurred not stated. The eight Verra VCS projects among them are dated as events above; the eight ACR projects await a deciding document. Kariba (VCS902) alone is 5,049,473 of the total, carried as the database records it, undated.

joined on the CARB identifier, each project's reversal quantity compared against the issuance workbook
Coherence is not verification. An independent database that carries the same 30 California projects, and agrees on 27 of them to the credit, is a second reading of the record rather than a restatement of it. The three that differ are carried as disagreements, never averaged. Together they are 83,483 credits, 0.7 per cent of the 12,257,618 California-linked credits the database carries.
