Climate-tech software: considerations before you build
Questions to settle before you build software for emissions data and climate reporting, from US federal, California and European Commission pages.
Insights / Sectors
Considerations for building software in fintech, healthtech, edtech and climate tech. General information, not a claim of experience.
A sector changes who your customer is, whose data you hold and which public rules sit between you and a sale.
Eight articles take one sector each. One covers fintech and the questions about moving or holding money. Another covers healthtech and the business associate contract. Another covers edtech and student records. Another covers climate tech and where emission factors come from. Another covers selling to government and the commercial-product preference in federal purchasing. Another covers hiring software and a city rule for automated tools. Another covers legal software and client confidentiality. The last covers security software and the frameworks buyers use.
Each article lists considerations and questions for counsel, quotes public pages by name and date, and says what it cannot tell you. None describes work WE has done in a sector, and none is legal advice.
