It seems like, with sufficient users entering data (including previous sales/purchases if desired), you could begin to train models to take into account local/regional factors etc. do you have any long term plans to collect user data in such a manner?

Separately, it seems like it would be incredibly useful to use your models in various embodied carbon estimation tooling and other decarbonization research streams. Have you thought about partnering with any academic researchers on this? If you are interested, let me know, as I can definitely connect you with a bunch of researchers who would be interested!

We don't really have plans on using user-data to train our models, since it's too much of a chicken-and-egg problem. Carbon estimating is something we had some clients talk about -- it uses the same material quantity estimation we're already doing, and is something we're really interested in (my heart is in impact-driven work). Would love the connections!
