At Ignite, I led the design for a key enhancement in our carbon accounting module—enabling users to assign both default and custom emission intensities at various levels (departments, regions, projects). This was part of a broader effort to make emissions tracking more flexible and aligned with real-world business operations.

Carbon accounting can be highly granular. 


Users needed a way to:
- Assign accurate emission intensities (default or custom) when adding new activities.
- Add emissions at different organizational levels (e.g., per department, supplier, or product line).
- Easily switch, override, or reference these values while maintaining transparency and auditability.

The goals we set to achieve were to streamline the entry of emission intensities from the start, allow multi-level assignment, and provide transparency and flexibility for both standardized and custom values.
