At home / national (any household, well or utility-served)
Home water sensory baseline audit (taste/odor/staining -> named test panel) —.
A householder at the site pours household tap water into a clean glass, notes taste and odor, writes down any staining or scale on the fixtures on a written form, and names the lab test each sign points to. Read all of it
Not funded yet. Settles as earned credit, $110 proposed.

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Record any taste, odor, or staining sign in your home water and map it to a certified-lab test. Keepers notice a metallic taste, a rotten-egg smell, or new staining long before they'd think to test, and just as often assume clean-tasting water is safe water, which nitrate, lead, and coliform bacteria disprove every day since none of the three have a taste. A structured sensory audit turns those signs into the RIGHT test panel at a certified lab, and refuses to let a clean glass stand in for a lab result.
Fund it for $110. 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
- a clean clear drinking glass
- camera
- notepad or phone for recording descriptors
- access to both the cold and hot tap
- a copy of the extension sensory-to-test reference table
Steps
- 1. Run the cold tap for 30 seconds, then fill a clean clear glass and observe it against a white background for color, cloudiness, and particles.
- 2. Smell the water from the cold tap and, separately, run the hot tap briefly and smell it again, noting any odor and which tap it appeared at.
- 3. Taste-test only if there is no known contamination concern; record any metallic, chemical, or other unusual taste using a specific descriptor rather than a vague one.
- 4. Photograph any visible staining on fixtures, tubs, or laundry (orange-brown, black, or blue-green) and any scale buildup on faucets or appliances.
- 5. Match each recorded sign to its named candidate test parameter using the extension/state guide: metallic taste to iron, manganese, copper, lead, zinc, or corrosivity/low pH; rotten-egg odor to hydrogen sulfide and iron/sulfur bacteria; orange-brown staining to iron, black staining to manganese or sulfide; blue-green staining with pinhole leaks in copper pipe to corrosive water.
- 6. Name a specific certified-lab test panel as the next step for every recorded sign; never record a clean taste, smell, or appearance as evidence the water is safe.
- 7. If the household is on a private well or has known lead-risk plumbing, route to the private-well-annual-screen or household-lead-screen packet as the next step rather than stopping at this audit.
What counts as done
- Taste, odor, staining, and scale each recorded with specific descriptors (e.g. 'metallic taste', 'rotten-egg odor when hot tap runs', 'blue-green ring in the tub')
- Each recorded sign mapped to a named candidate test parameter, with the extension/state guide cited
- A specific certified-lab test panel named as the next step
- Household routed to the private-well-annual-screen or household-lead-screen packet when the signs indicate it
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_1788116713041_yz0ol01","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
