  Climeworks publishes no API, so there are no API/cross-cutting technical standards
  to assert. What it does publish - and what a buyer of its output actually evaluates -
  is conformance to carbon-dioxide-removal measurement, reporting and verification
  (MRV) standards. Those are recorded here. The API/protocol standards block below is
  recorded as not-applicable rather than false, so this file is never mistaken for a
  compliance posture it does not claim.

    No trust center, SOC 2, ISO 27001 or equivalent information-security certification
    page was found by probe-security-programs.py or by search. No `Compliance` pointer
    is wired in apis.yml - the DNV/Puro certifications above are product-integrity
    certifications for carbon removal, not a published infosec compliance program.
