Evaluating Gravity

Buy carbon and energy software, without the procurement fog.

We've run this process hundreds of times and refined it into something that actually builds conviction for you and your stakeholders.

What buyers think vs. what actually happens

Vendors overpromise and underdeliver 60% of Gravity customers switched to us from another platform, and 0 have ever left Gravity for a competitor.
I'll have to migrate all my data manually We handle full data migration as part of onboarding. Your history comes with you.
Switching will take months of IT work Most customers are live in weeks. We run alongside your current tool until you're ready.
What if I switch and it doesn't work out? You evaluate the platform on your real data before you commit.

Already have software? Even better.

You know what you need, and we'll work with you on a deal structure that de-risks the transition while you validate Gravity side-by-side with your current tool.

Talk about switching
1

Onboard alongside your current tool

Start as early as six months before your current contract expires. We'll migrate your data and run Gravity in parallel so you see real results on your own data — no hypotheticals.

2

Opt out if it's not better

Use both platforms side by side. If Gravity is not clearly better, you can opt out. We'll work with you on financial terms that de-risk the transition.

3

Keep what works, cancel what doesn't

If you like it, you're already onboarded. If you don't, you keep your current tool and go through procurement again on your timeline. Structured for zero downside.

Questions to ask every vendor

The questions that reveal who is confident in their product.

Vendors who can say yes to these are the ones who trust their own technology. Ask these of everyone you evaluate, not just us.

Ask about transition risk
Do you offer a transition guarantee? Can I opt out if it does not work?

It's a paradox and a truth: products that offer the best warranty are usually the ones that don't need it. When you buy great hiking boots, the bootmaker will replace them if they wear out quickly — because they're sure their gear holds up. A vendor who offers a real transition guarantee is saying the same thing about their product.

Ask about dual-use periods
Can I onboard to your platform while I still have my old software, so we de-risk the engagement?

Gravity can do this because our cost of service is low and the technology is strong. Competitors may not be willing to — that tells you something.

Ask about contract flexibility
What does your contract look like for a buyer who has never used carbon software before?

First-time buyers need room to learn what they need. A rigid multi-year contract before you have seen the product work is a red flag.

Ask about data migration
Will you migrate my data from my current platform, and how long does it take?

Gravity handles full data migration as part of onboarding. Your historical data, methodology context, and reporting history come with you. Most customers are migrated in a few weeks.

What we've learned

What experienced buyers wish they'd evaluated differently.

After hundreds of conversations with buyers who have been through this, patterns emerge.

Mattered less than they expected

Company raised hundreds of millions

Burn rate doesn't equal product quality. Some of the largest players still can't ingest raw utility data.

Massive headcount

More people often means more handoffs between the person who sold you and the person who helps you.

Long feature comparison spreadsheets

Checkbox features don't tell you if it works with your data.

A trophy case of awards

Industry recognition doesn't tell you whether the product can ingest your source files and produce an audit-ready report.

"Everyone knows their name"

Brand recognition led to complacency. The household name didn't need to earn the deal.

What actually mattered

Could they use YOUR data, live, today?

Not cleaned-up demo data. The real files from your inbox.

Was the seller also the helper?

Zero handoff from sales to CS consistently had better outcomes.

Purpose-built for their problem

Not an ESG/GRC platform that bolted on carbon.

Speed from signing to first report

Weeks, not quarters. Dragging implementations create ongoing pain.

The team understood their industry

Not generalists. People who've done this hundreds of times.

Our process

Real deliverables at every step.

Here's what we recommend: a focused sequence with a real deliverable at every step. Some teams close in a few calls, others run a pilot or formal RFP — the path adapts to you.

Quick conversation. We assess whether Gravity solves your problem and route you to the right person: a salesperson for product questions, a climate strategist for methodology, an energy specialist for utility-specific needs. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.

You leave with:An honest "yes, we can help" or "here's who can."
Start a qualifying conversation

See the product with a salesperson who may pull in a climate strategist or energy specialist based on your qualifying conversation. We show the parts of the platform relevant to your problem, demo on your data if you want, and leave supporting materials for your team to evaluate independently.

You leave with:Supporting materials, methodology documentation, and a clear picture of what the product does for your use case.
Talk to an expert

When warranted, we run a structured pilot with defined success criteria using your data. This isn't a sandbox you never log into. We define what success looks like together, ingest your data, and demonstrate that the system meets your criteria. We can also arrange methodology deep-dives with specialists.

You leave with:A pilot report your team can use as the internal business case.
Ask about a pilot

This one's on you, but we've helped dozens of teams navigate it. We have exec briefs, security documentation, ROI frameworks, and onboarding workshop templates ready to go. Many sustainability professionals are navigating procurement for the first time. We're experts at helping teams build the case.

You leave with:Ready-made internal deck, security answers, and an ROI framework tailored to your organization.

IT and security review. Our self-serve trust center has everything your procurement team needs: SOC 2 Type II, penetration test results, security questionnaires, and SSO configuration. Enterprise-ready means this part is fast.

You leave with:Fast, painless security review. No bottleneck.

Migration, onboarding, and first wins. Your climate strategy team stays with you from first call through first report and beyond. When source data is ready, migration work moves in days.

You leave with:Data migrated, team working, first report on the way.
Start a conversation

Regular meetings with your climate strategist, who can also run workshops, speak at company presentations, and help you prepare for internal events. We've helped champions prepare for global All Hands meetings so they can tell the company about their work.

You leave with:A team confident telling your climate story internally.

Common concerns

You're right to ask.

Raise these concerns with every vendor you talk to.

Valid. 60% of our customers switched from other platforms. We'd rather show you a pilot than make promises. Ask for references in your industry.
Great. We can help you write evaluation criteria that test what actually matters: data ingestion with your real files, calculation transparency, and time to first report. We've been through hundreds of these.
We have exec briefs, ROI frameworks, and security documentation ready. Many of our customers are sustainability professionals navigating procurement for the first time. We've helped dozens of teams build the case.
We're confident enough to let the product speak for itself. Run a pilot with defined success criteria. If we can't meet them, you'll know before you sign.
Your team

Climate Strategy is part of the deal.

You've really done a great job at arming us with information and selling points. I am regularly surprised at the number of vendors who want us to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year with them and give me no assistance on the actual pitch to C-suite and executive leadership. I'm like, guys, we're in this together.Manager · Manufacturing
