@cmutel, am I mistaken in believing that direct emissions of the reference product plus cumulative emissions of all direct inputs should sum up to total impact?

Are you sure you have all the second tier inputs? The graph traversal will cutoff some smaller scores. My guess is that is the difference. You could also have some self-consumption, not sure about that or where it would matter...
If I have set a cutoff of 1% (like in the above example), can it miss (310+15)-376 ~ 13% of emissions?
For instance, for
Automobiles; at manufacturer
, all depth 2 (direct inputs into the automobiles manufacturing sector) cumulative emissions are:This sums up to 310.15. But the total emissions are 376. Even with the direct emissions of the automobile manufacturing itself (15), this does not add up.
