US-focused public companies (Persefoni better for SEC depth), banks needing PCAF (Persefoni better), or firms wanting bleeding-edge AI Scope 3 (Watershed better).
German and DACH firms (200-10,000 employees) wanting EU-headquartered carbon accounting with deep CSRD readiness and B Corp ESG credibility.
Why we say this

- ! AI-driven supplier extraction lagging Watershed
- ! Financed-emissions methodology limited
- ! Feature velocity below US-funded leaders
- ! Support documented mostly in German and English
If Plan A is wrong for you, consider these instead
