How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- GPS-capable phone or survey-grade GPS
- camera
- tape measure or laser rangefinder (buffer distance checks)
- field checklist/tablet
- waterproof notebook
- PPE (gloves/boots)
- flagging tape
Steps
- 1. Navigate to the registered source-protection zone boundary (spring box, recharge basin, wellhead, catchment intake); confirm GPS matches the project's registered site ID.
- 2. Photograph the source point and the immediate protective perimeter (fencing/buffer condition, vegetation cover, any encroachment).
- 3. Walk the protection-zone buffer checking for contamination-risk indicators (livestock access, latrine proximity, agrochemical storage/use, solid-waste dumping, open defecation) and log each with a GPS waypoint and photo.
- 4. Inspect the physical source infrastructure (spring box lid/seal, wellhead cap, intake screen, diversion structure) for damage or breach.
- 5. Record any encroachment (new structures, cultivation, grazing) inside the registered buffer since the last visit.
- 6. Note upstream/uphill land-use changes visible from the protection zone that could affect source-water quality.
- 7. Complete the source-protection condition checklist per the project's WBS monitoring plan.
- 8. Enter site ID, GPS, photos, checklist, and any flagged risk into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- GPS matches the registered source-protection site ID within the posting radius
- Photo of the source point and protective perimeter captured
- Full buffer walk completed with every required contamination-risk indicator checked and logged
- Source-protection condition checklist completed per the project's monitoring plan
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_1783718903363_cofagol","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
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.
