All of it: the words, the place, the proof

The county annex office's heat-pump thermostat has its heating and cooling setpoints set only a degree or two apart, so on a day near the crossover temperature the system calls for heat, overshoots into the cooling setpoint, calls for cooling, and short-cycles between the two modes all day.

Fund it for $70. Proof lands onchain when it's done.

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.
Proof: before setpoint/deadband record + manufacturer minimum reference + after setpoint record + single-cycle verification test + GPS
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.

Steps

1. Read and record the thermostat's current heating and cooling setpoints and the deadband between them before changing anything.
2. Pull the manufacturer's minimum-deadband specification for this thermostat/heat-pump model.
3. Widen the heating and cooling setpoints apart until the deadband meets or exceeds the manufacturer's minimum, entering the change on the thermostat's own menu.
4. Run the verification test: watch one full call cycle and confirm the system runs to its setpoint and shuts off cleanly, without the opposite mode calling within the same cycle; record the result.

What counts as done

Before record of the heating/cooling setpoints and the deadband between them
Manufacturer's minimum-deadband specification referenced
After record of the new setpoints and deadband, entered on the thermostat's own menu
Verification test result: one full call cycle completing without the opposite mode calling

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Energy Efficiency Audit. Energy efficiency work begins with the walkthrough audit, the kind the ASHRAE standard describes: a trained eye moving through a building, reading the bills, the walls, the lights, and the equipment, and coming out with the short list of fixes worth doing first. Mastery looks like an auditor who can feel where a building is bleeding money within the hour, and prove it on paper. That instinct is trained by repetition on real buildings. This packet is one repetition: one system observed, one reading taken, one finding recorded the way the standard asks.

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_1789886767227_aqylwy8","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
