Jeremiah Say

Software developer and data scientist · Singapore

I build sites that turn public records into sourced, checkable answers. If a number can't be traced to its source, it doesn't ship.

GreenCalculus · GraciousQuotes · PerBowl · Toggle9 · LinkedIn · ORCID


What I run

Each site has its own page about my role there: what I check, how I check it, and where to report a mistake.

Site What it is My page there
GreenCalculus A database and API of carbon emission factors, each traced to its primary publication, with calculators that show where every number comes from. Founder & Lead Systems Architect
GraciousQuotes A quotes site I started in February 2020. My main job there is checking who really said each quote, showing the source, and logging corrections in public. Founder & editor
PerBowl Who really makes your dog and cat food? Brands traced to the companies and plants behind them, with FDA inspection and recall records and free same-day recall alerts. Founder & editor
Toggle9 Free calculators that show their working. No sign-up, and each tool is dated with when I last checked it against its sources. Creator

The rule they share

  • Sourced, or it doesn't go up. Every factor, quote attribution, maker match or formula points back to where it came from.
  • Doubt is shown, not hidden. A shaky attribution gets an honest label, a doubtful maker match is held back, and an unrecognised input fails visibly instead of returning a confident wrong answer.
  • Mistakes are fixed in public. Corrections and changes are logged on each site, with dates.
  • Machine-readable provenance. Structured data (JSON-LD) on every page says who made it, what it's based on and when it was last checked.

Open work

Most of what I publish openly is under the GreenCalculus organisation:

Repository What it is
greencalculus-benchmark How wrong are LLMs about emission factors, and how often do they name the wrong source? Scored against sourced ground truth.
gwp-basis-check Finds warming-potential tables that contradict the IPCC assessment report they name.
greencalculus-calculator-demo Zero-dependency demos of production carbon calculators: Scope 1 combustion, SBTi targets, FLAG, PCAF, CBAM.
greencalculus-mcp · greencalculus-sdk · langchain-greencalculus Ways to call the emission-factor API from AI agents, Python and JavaScript.
greencalculus-standards · greencalculus-methodology · greencalculus-open-data Methodology, standards mapping and source licences, CC-BY-4.0.

Background

  • Software developer, data scientist and data analyst
  • Singapore Institute of Technology graduate
  • Former maths tutor, which is why my tools show their working
  • Professional Guide to Sustainability Reporting (Tinto Group)
  • Wikipedia contributor on GHG Protocol, IPCC AR6, life-cycle assessment and CSRD articles
