    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Design data flow: Where does data come from? (utilities, ERP, supplier portal, travel system) How often?

    2. 2

      Set up automation: API connections or automated exports from each source

    3. 3

      Create calculation engine: Automated emissions calculations based on activity data

    4. 4

      Build reporting template: Automated dashboard or document that pulls latest calculated data

    5. 5

      Test and refine: Run a pilot with manual verification to ensure accuracy

    Prompt 2
    Build a quarterly carbon reporting workflow. Data comes from multiple sources. I want: automated collection, automated calculation, automated report generation. What tools enable this?
