How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. From the maintained Elm Lake Loop Trail tread, more than 100 feet from any lake margin, photograph a canopy gap or thinned understory stretch of the bottomland hardwood forest, without leaving the trail.
- 2. Note the presence of native seedling recruitment (elm, oak, hackberry) versus invasive understory species (Chinese tallow, privet) in the gap.
- 3. Photograph the trail tread itself for reference, and watch for alligators or other wildlife without approaching. American alligators are common and closely observed throughout Brazos Bend State Park, including along maintained trails well away from open water; stay at least 30 feet back from any alligator at all times, never approach, crowd, or corner one, and never feed or bait an alligator or any wildlife under any circumstance, at any skill level. A fed alligator loses its fear of people, becomes dangerous, and is usually destroyed by park staff, so preventing that habituation is the point of this work.
- 4. Record a ranked follow on note naming the gap for the native-planting crew.
What counts as done
- Photo of the canopy gap taken from the maintained trail tread
- Note of native seedling recruitment versus invasive understory species present
- Confirmation the trail tread was never left and the site is more than 100 feet from any lake margin
- Confirmation no alligator or other wildlife was approached, fed, or baited
- Ranked follow on note naming the gap for the native-planting crew
- GPS waypoint of the surveyed gap
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_1785889937767_kjmwzgu","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
