About

Who builds Trazo, and how

Trazo is built by Oscar Muñoz, a software engineer who builds the product end-to-end for certified organic specialty-crop growers. No sales team between you and the person who writes the code: the questions farmers ask become the next release.

One thesis, applied everywhere

A farmer's record should be written once and work twice — as the compliance record a certifier reviews, and as the story a buyer can check. Every feature is judged against that: if it doesn't make the record more complete or more usable, it doesn't ship.

Built on public standards, not private ones

The guided plan follows the USDA-supported Common OSP structure. Every emission factor names its source: EPA for fuel, electricity and nitrogen, academic studies for pesticides, and Trazo's own estimate, labelled as one, where no public figure fits. Record checks cite the actual regulation (7 CFR Part 205) line by line. The full methodology is published under CC BY 4.0 — including its limitations.

English and Spanish, as equals

The people doing the field work often speak Spanish; the reviewer reading the file usually reads English. Trazo treats both as first-class: log in either language, and the record serves both readers.

What we won't claim

Trazo doesn't certify anything — your certifier does. Records in Trazo are farmer-reported; readiness checks are preparation aids, never findings. You will not find invented statistics, purchased badges, or a "verified" label we granted ourselves anywhere in the product. If a claim can't survive an inspector reading it, it doesn't belong on a farm's page — or on ours.

Questions, doubts, a certifier form we should support — write and the person who builds Trazo answers. Async, no sales call.
