Original data for reporting
An open, citable dataset you can build a story on
The WoodIntel Index publishes calibrated service-life predictions for every indexed species across every indexed climate zone — with uncertainty bands, treatment gain and orientation effects. Downloadable as CSV or JSON under CC BY 4.0, with a ready-made citation and a public method and validation record behind every number.

About WoodIntel
WoodIntel is the independent specification companion for architects, engineers, researchers and journalists who specify wood. It turns standards, climate data and peer-reviewed research into fast, cited, brand-neutral decisions.
WoodIntel was initiated and is funded by SiOO:X Wood Protection, and operates as an independent, brand-neutral open platform: the funder has no influence on methods, data or results, and no named product or supplier — including SiOO:X — is ever recommended. Outputs are generated from standards such as EN 350, EN 335, EN 16449 and EN 1995-1-2, live climate reanalysis from ERA5 / Copernicus, and peer-reviewed research indexed through Crossref, OpenAlex, Europe PMC, Semantic Scholar, DOAJ, OpenAIRE and DataCite.

What we can provide
Our media kit — logo files, mark usage, fact sheet and releases — is published at woodintel.io/media-kit. Beyond that we respond directly to journalist requests with what we can actually verify:
- Fact-checking of claims about wood durability, service life and climate exposure.
- Background briefings on our method, standards corpus and validation results.
- Written comment or quotes attributable to WoodIntel.
Our method, equations and validation data are public and citable: /method & /validation.
