Methodology
How Greenpixie calculates the environmental impact of cloud and AI usage.
Our approach: Maximum coverage - uncompromising rigour
Greenpixie's methodologies are designed to deliver consistent, evidence-based estimates across an entire cloud and AI estate, not just a small subset of core services or frontier models. In production, we typically map over 99% of customer cloud usage while applying the same documented methodology throughout. We do not use any spend based proxies.
