Build the infrastructure that turns climate finance disclosure into usable evidence.
Climate Probity has translated its core proposition into a working proof of concept using synthetic data. Founding support would move that model into production, with independence built into how the outputs are produced.
A working model, ready to become independent infrastructure.
Climate Probity has translated its core proposition into a working proof of concept using synthetic data. It demonstrates how fragmented records can be connected, how review questions can be surfaced with their source basis attached, and how expert judgment can be incorporated before any conclusion carries weight.
Founding support would move this model into production: secure data infrastructure, broader source coverage, expert review capacity, institutional pilots, and governance designed to protect the independence of the outputs.
From a working model to production infrastructure.
A proof of concept is not a platform. Support funds the engineering, data, review capacity, and governance a credible service requires.
Milestones a funder can hold us to.
Secure data infrastructure in place, with an initial corpus across priority source types.
Expert review workflow operating end to end on real records, with quality controls.
Closed pilots with selected oversight or assurance partners, evaluated against their own needs.
Independent governance constituted, ahead of any public-register operation.
Independence is essential to the credibility of the outputs.
The outputs are worth funding because no funder controls them. Governance is designed so that no funder, subject, or partner can shape a conclusion. A conclusion that a funder could shape would be worth little to the institutions meant to rely on it.
Influence over findings, advance sign-off on conclusions, favorable treatment of a grantee or partner, or any claim of endorsement.
What an initial institutional pilot would test.
A pilot is how the model meets real records and real review decisions. It is designed to learn, not to claim.
Built by a practitioner from inside the oversight system.
Climate Probity was founded by Albert Lihalakha, an integrity and investigations practitioner with twenty years across multilateral development finance and the private sector. He served as Deputy Head, and Head ad interim, of the Independent Integrity Unit at the Green Climate Fund, held senior integrity and investigations roles at the African Development Bank, and previously worked in KPMG’s risk consulting practice and at Saudi Aramco.
The platform reflects that experience. It is designed around the evidential discipline oversight bodies actually apply, and around a gap those roles make visible from the inside: the record needed to act responsibly exists, but it sits in pieces no single reviewer can practically connect.
