II. Decision Criteria & Evaluation Framework
REsurety will perform generation, financial settlement, and carbon impact calculations for every offer received via the CleanTrade platform using our Weather Smart Fundamentals Modeling. Offers will be evaluated based on the following areas and reflective of the four vital themes of Akamai’s procurement philosophy:
1. Total Cost & ROI
2. Emissionality (The “North Star”): Projects will be evaluated using their real-world carbon abatement and implied value of carbon. We utilize REsurety’s Locational Marginal Emissions (LME) data to prioritize projects that displace the most carbon-intensive marginal generation.
3. Grid Impact & Technology
4. Market Integrity & Transparency: All offers must be transacted exclusively via CleanTrade, the industry’s only CFTC-regulated platform. This ensures a transparent audit trail and rigorous financial modeling for all participants.

Participation is managed exclusively through REsurety’s CleanTrade platform.
