This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. 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

fixed PSP ID + full tree tally + height subsample + leakage-belt walk: Real, Proven, One-of-one

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

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
• diameter tape (DBH tape)
• hypsometer or clinometer for tree height
• permanent plot-boundary markers/flagging
• measuring tape for plot radius
• data sheet or tablet for tree tally
• camera
• compass

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the permanent sample plot (PSP) center; confirm GPS matches the registered plot ID and re-flag the plot boundary if markers are degraded.
2. 2. Photograph the plot center and canopy condition from the fixed photo-point bearing.
3. 3. Tally every tree at or above the minimum DBH threshold inside the plot boundary: species, DBH measured at breast height (1.3m), and status (live/dead/leaning).
4. 4. Measure total height with a hypsometer/clinometer for the height subsample specified by the monitoring plan.
5. 5. Record understory/regeneration counts below the DBH threshold per the monitoring plan's regeneration-tally protocol.
6. 6. Walk the assigned leakage-belt transect around the project boundary; record any new land-use conversion, grazing pressure, or clearing activity with GPS waypoints and photos.
7. 7. Note any disturbance (fire, pest, windthrow, encroachment) within the plot or leakage belt.
8. 8. Enter plot ID, GPS, full tree tally, height subsample, leakage-belt observations, and photos into the proof record; sign.

What counts as done

• GPS matched to the registered permanent sample plot (PSP) ID, boundary markers intact or re-flagged
• Every tree at/above the minimum DBH threshold tallied: species, DBH, status
• Height subsample recorded per the monitoring plan's protocol
• Understory/regeneration count logged below the DBH threshold
• Leakage-belt transect walked in full, any land-use-change observation logged with GPS + photo

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
