$320 proposed

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. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: EPA Rapid Bioassessment Protocol (family-level macroinvertebrate index)

Bring

  • kick net or D-frame net
  • white sorting tray
  • forceps
  • sample jars + ethanol
  • family-level ID key
  • GPS phone
  • waders/boots
  • camera

Steps

  1. 1. Navigate to a riffle habitat; record GPS; photograph the reach.
  2. 2. Disturb the substrate upstream of the net for a fixed time/area (kick sample) per RBP.
  3. 3. Transfer the catch to the sorting tray; pick and sort organisms.
  4. 4. Identify to family; tally counts; record EPT (Ephemeroptera/Plecoptera/Trichoptera) taxa.
  5. 5. Compute the biotic index score from the tally.
  6. 6. Note substrate and habitat condition.
  7. 7. Enter tally, EPT count, index score, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

  • Low EPT count / low biotic index -> tag impaired; recommend a follow-up water-chemistry screen.
  • No sensitive taxa present -> flag for stressor identification.

What counts as done

  • Photo evidence at the creek reach with timestamp
  • GPS / address confirm
  • Macroinvertebrate sample log
  • Habitat-condition score sheet
  • Chain-of-custody note if lab-submitted

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The money and the proof

What is promised, and what is not.

Funding this work is a purchase or a vote, same act: you either want this done here, or you want the world to contain it. A vote is free and signed; funding starts at one cent and anything beyond the wage is recorded as a premium for the worker. Either way the money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1786326059232_hnre35f","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.
