All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Score the dog's or cat's body condition on the 9-point scale by rib palpation in Los Angeles, CA. LA's dense companion-animal population and stretched low-cost veterinary capacity make keeper-level screening the cheapest first mile: a correct BCS at home decides whether a costly clinic visit is about weight coaching or something a veterinarian must see.

Fund it for $140. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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
A recorded BCS 1-9 with palpation plus visual checks + compared to the ideal band, 4 to 5 of 9 + any out-of-band score routed to a veterinarian before diet changes

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

How this work is done

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

  • notebook or phone app for scoring
  • a flat, non-slip surface for the animal to stand on
  • a written 9-point BCS reference chart
  • treats for a calm, low-stress hold (optional)

Steps

  1. 1. With the animal standing relaxed on a flat surface, view it from directly above and record the waist definition, or its absence, behind the ribs.
  2. 2. View the animal from the side and record the abdominal tuck, or its absence.
  3. 3. Palpate the ribs with light finger pressure and record how easily they can be felt: covered by excess fat, easily felt with a slight fat covering, or visible and prominent with no fat cover.
  4. 4. Combine the three findings to assign a single BCS from 1 (emaciated) to 9 (severely obese) per the published 9-point chart, recording which reference points drove the score.
  5. 5. Compare the score to the ideal 4-5 out of 9 band and record the comparison as a trend, not a diagnosis.
  6. 6. Record the animal's current diet, food type, and daily amount as context.
  7. 7. Route any score of 3 or below, or 7 or above, or any planned diet change, to a veterinarian before it is acted on.

What counts as done

  • BCS 1-9 recorded with the rib-palpation finding and both visual checks (overhead waist, side profile) noted
  • Comparison to the ideal 4-5/9 band recorded as a trend, not a diagnosis
  • Out-of-band score (≤3 or ≥7), or any planned diet change, routed to a veterinarian first — a named low-cost or nonprofit veterinary route counts
  • Current diet and daily amount recorded as context

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_1788110974818_3inqeji","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
