Catch-can distribution-uniformity audit.

Fund it for $320. Proof lands onchain when it's done.

$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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

catch-can grid photo + GPS + DU + pressure + leak/head note + schedule

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

How this work is done

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

Bring

  • matched catch cans (or cups)
  • measuring cylinder / ruler
  • pressure gauge
  • stopwatch
  • GPS phone
  • camera
  • data sheet

Steps

  1. 1. Confirm the site/zone; record GPS; identify the system type (sprinkler / drip / micro).
  2. 2. Sprinkler zones: lay catch cans on a grid across the zone, run the zone a fixed time, and measure the water depth in each can.
  3. 3. Compute distribution uniformity (low-quarter DU) from the catch-can depths.
  4. 4. Drip/micro zones: measure emitter flow at several points (fill a container over a fixed time) and inspect for clogs and leaks.
  5. 5. Read operating pressure at the zone; note leaks, broken/misaligned heads, and overspray onto pavement.
  6. 6. Review the run schedule against plant/soil need (over/under-watering, runoff).
  7. 7. Rank fixes (head repair, pressure regulation, schedule change) by water savings; record DU/emitter flow, pressure, leaks, schedule note, photos; sign.

What counts as done

  • Photos of catch-can layout + system
  • GPS waypoint
  • Distribution uniformity (low-quarter DU)
  • Operating pressure
  • Broken/leaking heads note
  • Schedule-vs-need + ranked fixes

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_1788165594324_0i0eh0v","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.
