Living Assets, Governed to Standard.
Biological assets appreciate, depreciate, mature, and perish. Ripplemesh tracks them under IAS 41 fair-value-to-cost accounting with the same audit rigor as any capital asset.
Why Biological Assets Need Their Own Ledger
Biological assets change value through growth, harvest, disease, and season — not through depreciation schedules. A depreciation curve cannot describe a stand of timber or a breeding herd.
Ripplemesh records lifecycle events — planting, maturity, harvest, loss — as Experience Statements, so finance, operations, and L&D see one consistent record of every living asset.
