Make Boston BERDO Reporting & Third-Party Verification traceable, exception-led, and ready for human release.
Boston’s Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO) forces ~5,300 covered buildings to report annual energy and water use through ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and the BERDO Reporting Portal, and — for the 2025 emissions cohort and first-time filers — to obtain independent third-party verification in 2026.

15 Pricing, pricing legality, and unit economics Primary pricing: Per-building fixed package — not hourly. Diagnostic / readiness scan: $350–$750 (coverage + verification-year + data-gap score) Reporting-only: $2,400–$4,800 Reporting + independent verification (core SKU): $3,900–$6,900 Portfolio (10+ buildings): 15–25% volume discount Emissions-gap memo add-on: $1,200–$2,500 (not a retrofit bid) Pricing legality: Fixed professional-service fees for reporting prep and credentialed verification. No contingency on avoided fines or ACP savings (avoids improper success-fee optics). ACP/REC purchases remain owner’s; we may prepare checklists only.

Service boundary
Automation prepares. A qualified human releases.
BERDOClear is an operational documentation and processing service operated by Your Deputy, Obuke LLC. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal, tax, medical, financial, or other licensed professional advice. Consumer and personal debt matters are not accepted. The client retains its licensed professionals and decision authority. Automation may organize and check records, but a qualified human must review and release every client deliverable.
- Unsupported facts remain unresolved, never inferred into a client deliverable.
- Jurisdiction-specific or licensed questions are routed to the client's professional.
- Every correction retains the source, reviewer, version, and reason for change.
Questions
Know the limits before intake.
Is this legal or professional advice?
No. This is bounded operational documentation and processing support. Licensed judgment remains with the client and its professionals.
Does automation make the final decision?
No. It can organize records, run declared checks, and prepare an exception queue. A qualified human reviews and releases every deliverable.
Is a client portal or CRM already active?
This public site does not claim an active portal integration. Portal access is provisioned only after the relevant backend is configured and independently verified.
What happens when evidence conflicts?
The item is placed in an exception state with its sources and owner. It is not silently resolved or presented as verified.
