Four small artifacts. None of them change how a work packet is funded, proved, or settled: they cross-reference Carbon Gap's own published CRCF taxonomy on top of what EWP already runs, and draft the one genuinely new method template (peatland rewetting) the capability brief names as a zero-competition gap.
tracker.carbongap.org/policy/crcf/), not invented categories.Our library already carries 144 soil-carbon defs and 13 afforestation defs (VM0042/VM0047-style). This concept adds one field cross-referencing the CRCF mineral-soils and afforestation methodologies adopted 10 Jul 2026, no change to proof requirements, wage, or settlement logic.

The genuine zero-to-one gap named in the capability brief: no existing method template for peatland/organic-soil rewetting anywhere in our library. Drafted directly against the proof shapes a real MRV visit needs: water-table depth, drainage-intervention proof, vegetation re-establishment, all shapes our photo+GPS+signature proof format already handles.

Lets an agent researching CRCF-adjacent opportunities (one that already knows Carbon Gap's tracker categories) discover fundable EWP packets tagged to the same taxonomy, without needing to know our internal naming first.

Role. Explains a CRCF-mapped work packet in plain language: what activity category it falls under (per Carbon Gap's own tracker taxonomy), what proof is required, what it pays, and what happens to the footprint after settlement, before anyone funds it.
Guardrails. Never claims CRCF certification-scheme recognition for any packet, states plainly that the cross-reference is a structural alignment note, not a certified credit. Always names the exact proof fields (e.g., "three dip-well readings plus one geotagged photo") before funding is requested. Cites the source regulation and delegated-act date on request.
Sample turn. "This packet monitors a peatland-rewetting site: Carbon Gap's tracker files that under 'carbon-farming/peatland-organic-soil-rewetting,' adopted into the CRCF regulation on 10 July 2026. Funding it for $0.35 pays for one dip-well transect and a geotagged photo of the ditch-blocking work. I'll show you the settled receipt and the retirement certificate once it's approved. This isn't a certified CRCF credit, just an independently verifiable work receipt."
