# R3CKON

> R3CKON estimates the usage-phase environmental footprint of AI usage from token metadata (never content), always with stated uncertainty ranges, and retires third-party-issued environmental certificates (water restoration, carbon credits, renewable energy) against the conservative end (P90) of the estimate each month. It is an activity ledger, deliberately not a neutrality claim. By Tahosa Systems.

## Docs

- [Connecting usage](https://r3ckon.com/md/connecting-usage): The three ingestion paths: managed provider connections (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google), the metering API, and self-report.
- [Metering API reference](https://r3ckon.com/md/metering-api): Developer reference: authentication, ingest endpoints, event schema, the content boundary, and account APIs.
