XYCLE INCLUDED IN VERDANTIX SMART INNOVATORS 2025
XYCLE FEATURES
A closer look at how XYCLE builds models, checks the data behind them and prepares results for review.
Build faster
BOM import, automatic factor mapping and reusable processes.
Check the data
Gaps, proxies and mass balance in view before results go out.
Report with confidence
Version history, audit trails and exports for reviewers.
01 · DATA COLLECTION AND COLLABORATION
02 · MODELLING
Import a bill of materials and XYCLE builds the model structure, mapping emission factors as it goes. Save the mappings and unit processes you trust as presets, so the next model starts where the last one finished.
Automatic emission factor mapping from your BOM
Mapping presets and UPR presets reused across projects
A tree structure from assembly down to unit processes
03 · PARAMETERS AND TEMPLATES
Set parameters for the things that change in the real world, such as ore grade, energy mix, yield and transport distance. Change one and every linked result recalculates.
Process-level parameters and formulas
Starter templates from the Minviro model library
All EF 3.1 impact categories, calculated live
04 · DATA QUALITY
Filter the inventory for missing, estimated or proxy data, with geography, time period and source visible on every input. Mass balance checks show when inputs and outputs don’t add up. Explore dataset metadata and top contributors, or customise ecoinvent data at inventory level. Database access depends on your licences and plan.
Filter for gaps and proxies instantly
Data quality visible on every input
Mass balance checks for each unit process
One search across ecoinvent, Carbon Minds and Minviro’s in-house data.
05 · INTERROGATING RESULTS
Go beyond one number. Check how sensitive a result is to its inputs, break carbon down into its components and open any background dataset to see exactly what it covers.
Uncertainty analysis on key results
A carbon breakdown view
Data Navigator for drilling into background datasets
06 · SCENARIOS
Duplicate a baseline, then change a supplier, a processing route or an energy source. Compare scenarios side by side against the same functional unit, in absolute or percentage terms. Model a decarbonised alternative in seconds by duplicating your baseline.
Comparison mode across scenarios and reference products
Absolute and percentage views
The baseline stays intact while you explore alternatives
07 · REVIEW AND REPORTING
Every change is versioned and every number carries its source, so reviewers can follow the model instead of reverse-engineering a spreadsheet.
Version history, with live LCIA status
Access for reviewers and auditors
Prepare GHG Protocol, ILCD and Excel exports for review
08 · INTEGRATIONS
ERP, data lake and supplier data in
Footprints kept current across the whole portfolio
Results out by API to DPPs, BI, ERP and PLM
Built for inventories from 20 items to 100,000+.
