All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Test the community-garden soil for lead near Utica, NY. A community garden on a former house lot near Utica, NY may carry old paint-and-gasoline lead in its soil. Growers eating their own leafy greens deserve to know the lead level before harvest, not after.

Fund it for $320. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.
Proof: 5-point composite photo + GPS + Pb reading per plot
This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

Safety, read before you claim

No special training is needed. Wear gloves and a dust mask when disturbing dry soil, never eat unwashed produce until results return, and stop and flag any suspected asbestos without disturbing it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

trowel or auger
clean bucket + mixing tool
XRF analyzer or metals test kit
PID for volatiles (if petroleum in scope)
sample bags + labels
N95 dust mask
gloves + eye protection
GPS phone
camera

Steps

1. Navigate to the parcel; record GPS; sketch a >=5-point sampling grid.
2. Photograph each sampling point and any visible staining/fill/slag.
3. Collect 0-15 cm cores from >=5 points; combine and mix in the clean bucket; subsample.
4. Run XRF/test kit on the composite; record each metal in ppm.
5. If petroleum is in scope, log PID readings and any odor/staining.
6. Bag/label any lab subsample; complete chain-of-custody.
7. Enter all analytes with units, depth, GPS, photos, and site sketch into the proof record; sign.

What counts as done

Photos of 5 sampling points
GPS waypoint of plot
Composite Pb reading (ppm)
Sampling depth note (0-15cm)
Bed/plot location sketch

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

What is promised, and what is not

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1783450940494_6q382ee","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.

Other acts: vote, pledge, fund

Pledge backing, free
