How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Go to the plot this job's title names and record the GPS waypoint at the test spot.
- Look over the ground and note any visible organic matter and roots at the test spot.
- Set the infiltration ring on the soil surface at the test spot and photograph it in place.
- Pour in one inch of water and time how many minutes it takes to soak in.
- Take a sample of the soil from the test spot and score its aggregate stability on the 1 to 6 class scale.
- Add a short note on the visible organic matter and root growth you saw.
- Record the photo, GPS waypoint, infiltration time, aggregate stability class and organic matter and root note in the proof record.
What counts as done
- Photo of infiltration ring test
- GPS waypoint
- Infiltration time (min for 1 inch)
- Aggregate stability class (1-6)
- Visible organic matter / root note
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Soil Health. Soil health is the discovery, now written into USDA standards, that soil is not dirt but a living body: it breathes, digests, holds water, and can sicken or recover. The tests are wonderfully physical. Time how fast water soaks in. See whether a clod holds together in water or falls apart. Smell for the sweetness of organic matter. Mastery looks like a farmer who can read a handful of ground like a page. This packet is one plot examined by those methods and recorded, one honest page in the story of a piece of land.
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_1783716634959_l63nqoo","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
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
