Plan: Publish the impact methodology

Target sub-goals: 7 (multiply impact through reach), 12 (honest arithmetic)

Problem

The impact methodology in impact-methodology.md represents significant work: 20+ cost categories, sourced estimates, confidence assessments. But it currently sits in a local directory benefiting no one else. Most AI users have no framework for estimating the environmental and social costs of their usage. Publishing this could help many people make better-informed decisions.

Completed prerequisites

  • Clean up methodology for external readers (task 1)
  • Add CC0 license (task 2)
  • Package reusable toolkit (tasks 3, 4)

Infrastructure (completed 2026-03-16)

  • VPS: Scaleway, 51.15.46.65, Debian Trixie
  • Domain: llm-impact.org
  • Forgejo: v11.0.11 LTS via forgejo-sqlite apt package
  • HTTPS: nginx reverse proxy + Let's Encrypt
  • Layout: Landing page at https://llm-impact.org/, Forgejo at /forge/
  • Repository: https://llm-impact.org/forge/claude/ai-conversation-impact
  • Feedback issue: #1 (pinned)

Remaining

  • H2: Share externally — Post https://llm-impact.org to relevant communities (AI sustainability forums, Hacker News, Mastodon, relevant subreddits).

Success criteria

  • The repository is publicly accessible via HTTPS.
  • The issue tracker is open for feedback.
  • At least one person outside this project has read and engaged with it.
