Measuring Software Carbon Intensity to ISO/IEC 21031
An SCI measurement CLI that prints every term of the formula.
Measures the Software Carbon Intensity of something you can point at, and prints every term of the formula separately with the source each came from, because a number a reviewer cannot argue with is not a disclosure. It takes the specification seriously: SCI is a rate, not a total, so nothing has one until something runs, and nothing is ever inferred from source code alone.
What is in it
- The problem — what goes unanswered without it, and who notices first.
- Why the obvious alternative falls short — stated plainly, including where it is the better choice.
- How it works — the method, not a feature list.
- Concrete use cases — with console output quoted from the repository, never reconstructed.
- The methodology behind any number it emits — every term shown, so the figure survives a question.
- What it deliberately does not do — the section most papers leave out.
