Plain thesis: Frontier publishes more checkable pricing data than any other durable-removal buyer we've reviewed, and gives its core legal instrument away for free, but its own member roster has been publicly misreported, and nothing on its site is built for a machine to read. This brief is credit-first: where Frontier is genuinely ahead, it says so, then names exactly what an independent, primary-source check finds, with the command to verify it yourself.
No jargon. Frontier's whole edge is public, checkable data, here's what closing the one real gap below is worth.
Every price, deal, and date is already public, but there's no file an assistant can read, so an agent has to already know which page to open; a small discovery surface means the market's AIs quote Frontier's own numbers instead of guessing.
The dated dollar figures are the most granular in the market, but delivery itself is still attested; a photo-GPS-signature receipt settled on-chain lets a buyer or auditor verify the ground, extending the accountability Frontier is already known for down to the work.
Frontier's live /progress dashboard states the top-line numbers plainly: $1.8B forward commitment through 2040, ~$694M actually contracted. Below that, 18 individually-announced offtake deals (2023–2025 vintage) each carry a dollar figure, a tonnage, and a delivery window on their own dedicated /writing/<slug> page, summing to roughly $688.8M across ~1.94M tonnes, averaging ~$355/t, and ranging from $214/t (CO280, point-source BiCRS retrofitting an existing pulp mill) to $989/t (Heirloom, 2023-vintage DAC). No other buyer in the durable-removal market, compliance or voluntary, publishes dated, per-deal $/tonne math at this resolution.

Frontier didn't just publish its offtake-agreement template once and walk away: the GitHub repository is confirmed CC0-1.0 licensed (public domain, no attribution required), not archived, and was last pushed 2026-01-22, seventeen months after its August 2024 debut. The live /offtake-agreement-template page still frames it, in Frontier's own words, as a "starting point", an explicit hedge that it's not final. The template's own announcement post confirms the exact contract vocabulary this brief's demo builds on: "Conditions Precedent," "Grace period," and "Right of first offer" (ROFO) all appear verbatim.

Earlier research flagged this as likely true but noted it rested on secondary sources for Meta's exit specifically. This brief upgrades that to a primary-source check: frontierclimate.com/who-we-are's own server-rendered HTML lists exactly 10 member-company logos by alt text and image filename: Anthropic, Autodesk, Google, H&M, JPMorgan Chase & Co., McKinsey Sustainability, Salesforce, Shopify, Stripe, Workday, plus 9 partner-tier logos matching Aledade, Canva, Match Group, Samsara, Skims, Skyscanner, Watershed, Wise, and Zendesk. Neither "Microsoft" nor "Amazon" appears anywhere in that page's alt text, image filenames, or visible copy, checked directly, not inferred. The only "meta" string matches in the raw HTML are all standard HTML <meta> tags (viewport, og:, twitter:); none reference the company. This independently confirms, now from Frontier's own markup rather than search synthesis, that Meta (a 2022 founding member) is absent from the current roster, while Microsoft and Amazon have never appeared on it.

The June 2026 $915M Growth AMC round, press-covered by TechCrunch, Axios, and Utility Dive as Anthropic becoming "the first AI startup to join the Frontier carbon removal coalition", is directly corroborated on /who-we-are: both AnthropicLogo.99c1ccf6.svg and a Salesforce logo asset are present in the page's own image markup, alongside the founding four (Stripe, Google, Shopify, McKinsey) and the 2023 cohort (Autodesk, H&M, JPMorgan, Workday).

Every standard machine-discovery convention checked on frontierclimate.com, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, ai.txt, openapi.json, and six /.well-known/* paths (agent-card.json, ai-plugin.json, security.txt, x402), returns a true HTTP 404 with an identical 9,536-byte body, matching a nonsense-path control exactly. Credit where it's due: this is honest, Frontier isn't soft-200ing an agent into thinking a file exists when it doesn't, a failure mode we've found elsewhere. But for an organization whose entire differentiator is public, checkable data, there is currently no machine-readable door of any kind, an agent has to already know to go read a specific /writing/<slug> page or the GitHub repo directly.

This isn't a Frontier-side finding, it's the internal note this brief exists to make. EWP's work-packet lifecycle (fund → claim → prove via photo+GPS+signature → approve → on-chain settlement, live on Base mainnet) already matches the shape Frontier's own CC0 template codifies for a $30–50M offtake: money moves only after a verified delivery event (pay-on-delivery, not take-or-pay), a missed date gets a grace period instead of a liquidated-damages clause, and an early funder is rewarded rather than punished by a price escalator. The next page runs that same shape at a single work packet, cents, not tens of millions, as a labeled concept, with no live integration or funding relationship to any Frontier-listed pathway or supplier.
Nothing here is a security finding or a broken product, Frontier's transparency and its CC0 template are genuinely rare in this market, and both are credited in full. The pattern is narrower: one real public-record conflation (finding 3, now corrected against primary evidence) and one clean, total gap in machine-readability (finding 5) sitting alongside a program whose entire value proposition is public data. Underneath all of it, the contract mechanics Frontier proved out at $30–50M scale are the same shape EWP already runs, this brief's next page shows exactly what that looks like at a single packet.
