How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. Confirm the sign post location is on public right of way, never on private land, and call 811 before setting any post.
- 2. Set the sign post by hand at the road shoulder, clear of the travel lane and clear of the wet zone itself.
- 3. Mount the weatherproof panel explaining that the mud chimneys are crayfish burrows, that they indicate how long the ground stays wet, and that mowing near them waits until they dry.
- 4. Photograph the finished, legible sign and confirm it is readable from the shoulder.
What counts as done
- 811 locate reference before setting the post
- Before photo of the shoulder with no sign present
- Photo confirming the sign text is legible and names no individual burrow location
- After photo of the installed, mounted sign
- Confirmation that this work never dug into, probed, plugged, flooded, or otherwise disturbed a crayfish burrow at any skill level; that no crayfish, live or dead, was handled, captured, collected, or removed; that no individual burrow or small burrow cluster was pinned with its own precise coordinate, only the general public roadside site; that this work stayed on firm ground and never stepped onto standing water or a wet mudflat; that hi-vis was worn and the work stayed on the shoulder, clear of the travel lane; and that the ditch was checked for flowing water before starting, in compliance w
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
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_1789306633414_hjn5ryf","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
