Track vs a Carbon Platform
Track is a carbon reporting service. A Carbon Platform is software your team operates. Both produce an event footprint. The difference is who does the work, how it is priced and what lands on the client's desk.
Who does the work
Every footprint needs the same six jobs. The models split them differently.
