All of it: the words, the place, the proof
A dial turned down once can drift back up during a later service call or a tank swap, silently erasing both the standby-loss savings and the scald-risk reduction the first turn-down bought.

How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Once a year, with the resident present, locate the marked dial and dated tag left by the prior visit and photograph the current dial position against the mark.
- If the dial still lines up with the mark, re-photograph it in place; if it has drifted, turn it back to the 120-degree mark by hand. This rung never touches, lights, relights, or adjusts the gas line, pilot light, burner, flue, or venting at any point. It never opens, tests, or operates the temperature-and-pressure relief valve itself; operating it can prevent it reseating.
- Refresh the mark and the dated tag with a new date so it reads clearly for another year.
- Photograph the confirmed or corrected dial and tag as the year's record, and leave the dated tag with the resident.
What counts as done
- Confirmation that the dial was found at, or restored to, the 120-degree mark
- Photo of the dial and the refreshed dated tag
- Confirmation that the gas line, pilot light, burner, flue, venting, and the pressure relief valve were never touched
- Note of whether the dial had drifted since the prior visit
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Weatherization Readiness. Weatherization readiness is the survey that turns a cold, expensive-to-heat home into a fundable plan. Following the Department of Energy's program, the surveyor maps where the house leaks air, which attics and walls lack insulation, what fresh-air path must follow the tightening, and which safety checks must clear first. Mastery looks like a walkthrough that ends with a package a weatherization crew can price without a second visit. This packet is one piece of one such survey, done carefully and written down, so a real family's real house gets closer to warm.
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_1789312442313_wmqqant","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated — Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
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
