What you receive
See the exact file you get, before you pay a cent.
Most compliance software leaves you guessing what you’re actually buying. We don’t. Below is a complete specimen of the due-diligence file we hand you for every shipment: each plot screened for post-2020 deforestation, the exact datasets behind every verdict, anything ambiguous held for a person, and (once a plot clears) the Due Diligence Statement filed in the EU’s TRACES system under your operator identity, with the reference number you keep on file.
This is a specimen, not a client file. Everything below is real, unedited output from our deforestation engine, run on two public reference plots, so you can judge the work, not a mock-up. The filing record was issued by the European Commission’s EUDR Acceptance environment (the official test system that mirrors production TRACES but issues test statements, not legally valid ones). No client data appears here. Your own file would carry your operator identity, your producers, and your plots.
A quick tip: to keep a copy, use your browser’s Print → Save as PDF. And if you’d like to see this run on your ground rather than a reference plot, send us a single set of producer coordinates (ideally a shade-grown one) and we’ll screen it free. There’s a link at the foot of the page.
The deliverable, in full
A record you can hand to an auditor, not a report to decode.
Every plot comes back as a plain record: what was checked, what the sources said, and a clear verdict, with anything ambiguous held for a person rather than force-passed or force-failed. Two public reference plots, run and rendered field for field.

Plots assessed: 2
| Finding | Method / dataset | Result | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tree-cover loss, post-2020 | Hansen GFC 2025 v1.13 | 0.35 ha | Disturbance signal, not itself deforestation |
| Confirmed deforestation | JRC TMF vs 2020 baseline | 0.00 ha | No TMF-confirmed forest conversion |
Held for human review. Satellite shows 0.35 ha of tree-cover loss since the cut-off, but cross-checking with JRC TMF confirms none of it is forest conversion, consistent with the ordinary management of a shade-grown farm. Surfaced to a person, not auto-failed.
| Finding | Method / dataset | Result | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tree-cover loss, post-2020 | Hansen GFC 2025 v1.13 | 0.00 ha | None detected |
| Confirmed deforestation | JRC TMF vs 2020 baseline | 0.00 ha | No forest conversion |
Pass. No post-2020 tree-cover loss on any source. Clears without needing human review.

Filing
Once a plot clears, we file the Due Diligence Statement in the EUDR system as your Authorised Representative, under your operator identity and EORI. TRACES issues the DDS reference and verification number on submission; you keep the whole dossier (plot geometry, assessment, evidence and reference) for the five years the regulation requires.

The coffee plot above cleared, so we ran it end to end through the European Commission’s EUDR Acceptance environment, the official replication system that mirrors production TRACES but issues test statements, not legally valid ones. This is a genuine sandbox submission that proves the filing path works, not a client filing. Live filings are made only on production TRACES, under a signed mandate.
Real, unedited output from our deforestation engine, run on two public reference plots. The Ghana plot is a public reference farm: CERSGIS, Reference Dataset for Land Use Change Mapping in Ghana’s Cocoa Landscape (2024-2025), Zenodo doi:10.5281/zenodo.15778396 (CC-BY 4.0), not a client plot. The DDS reference shown was issued by the EU’s EUDR Acceptance (replication) environment, a real test submission, not a live client filing. The due-diligence declaration, and legal liability for it, remain with the operator.
What this file does, and what it honestly doesn’t.
This is defensible due diligence: a complete, dated, sourced record that shows a competent authority you screened each plot against the authoritative forest data and reached a reasoned verdict, with the ambiguous cases handled by a person rather than waved through. It is the evidence a real inspection asks for.
What it is not is a “guarantee of compliance,” because no honest service can sell you one. Under the regulation the due-diligence declaration (and the legal liability for it) stay with you, the operator, always. We file as your Authorised Representative, a role open to us because glebora is EU-established (Denmark); a service established outside the Union cannot file in this role at all. We do the geospatial work, assemble the evidence, and submit through TRACES under your identity. The declaration is yours; the defensibility is what we build.
See it on your own plot
Send one plot. We’ll screen it free.
Did a generic tool flag your shade-grown coffee or cocoa? The clearest way to see the difference is on your own ground. Send us one set of producer coordinates (ideally an agroforestry plot) and we’ll show you how the type-aware read treats it, and what your filing would involve. No charge, no obligation.
