What is the metric impact spectrum?
The impact spectrum demonstrates the threshold distributions that HowGood assigns to a given metric. It also places several ingredients along the spectrum to provide context on how different ingredients score. Ingredients that fall within the red end of the spectrum have negative impact, whereas the ingredients that fall in the green end of the spectrum have minimal to positive impact.
What is the sourcing location map?The sourcing location map enables you to see the impact that different sourcing locations can have on how your ingredient is grown. The color of the map indicates where the ingredient falls on the impact spectrum. By hovering over a particular country, you can see the On-farm GHG Emissions for a given ingredient.
