All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Photograph any conk or bracket fungus at a tree's base as a decay flag for an arborist. A conk or bracket fungus at a tree's base is one of the most reliable external signs of internal decay, yet most property owners either ignore it as 'just a mushroom' or panic without calling anyone qualified. A structured, photograph-first observation turns a passing glance into a dated flag an ISA Certified Arborist can act on before the tree or a limb fails onto a target.
Fund it for $160. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- camera
- tape measure or rangefinder
- notebook or data sheet
- GPS phone
- binoculars (for canopy-level deadwood, viewed from the ground)
Steps
- 1. Approach the tree from the ground only; never climb the tree or use a ladder to inspect it at height.
- 2. Identify the tree species where possible, and record its size (trunk diameter) and location relative to nearby targets (structures, walkways, parking, seating areas).
- 3. Walk around the base, root flare, and visible trunk, looking for fungal fruiting bodies (conks, brackets, shelf mushrooms).
- 4. Photograph every fruiting body found with its exact position on the tree, plus a whole-tree context shot.
- 5. Record other visible external decay indicators without diagnosing them: cavities, cracked or missing bark, deadwood in the canopy (viewed with binoculars from the ground), and insect or woodpecker activity.
- 6. Note any recent lean, root-plate heaving, large cracks, or signs of recent limb failure.
- 7. Do not attempt to determine internal decay extent, assign a hazard rating, or recommend any tree-care action; that is ISA Certified Arborist / TRAQ-holder work.
- 8. Route the finding to an ISA Certified Arborist or TRAQ holder by name as a decay flag, with the photos and location.
- 9. Log the tree ID, all findings, photos, and the referral into the proof record with date and GPS.
What counts as done
- Tree identified (species where possible, size, location relative to targets) and recorded
- Every fruiting body photographed with exact position plus a whole-tree context shot
- Other visible decay indicators recorded (cavities, cracked bark, deadwood, insect/woodpecker activity) without diagnosis
- Finding routed to an ISA Certified Arborist / TRAQ holder as a decay flag, never a self-issued risk rating
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_1788116692746_iisowh4","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
