Plug in a timer/smart power strip to cut phantom load on the entertainment center -- a renter's apartment near the 3300 block of State Line Avenue, Texarkana, TX 75501 (Bowie County).

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
A renter's TV, game console, cable box and speakers draw standby power around the clock because nobody can rewire the unit's outlets -- but a power strip with its own switch or schedule sits between the wall and the devices without touching the building at all.
Fund it for $80. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
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. With the resident, identify the outlet-fed device cluster with the highest standby draw (entertainment center, home office, or countertop appliances) and confirm every device stays plugged into a single wall outlet today.
- 2. Record the standby wattage of each device with a plug-load meter while the devices sit idle or off but still plugged directly into the wall.
- 3. Plug the timer or smart power strip into the wall outlet, then plug the device cluster into the strip's switched or scheduled outlets, leaving any always-on device (router, clock) on the strip's unswitched outlet where it has one.
- 4. Set the strip's schedule or master-switch behavior to match the household's actual routine -- off overnight, off when the TV's own remote signals sleep, or a manual master switch by the door.
- 5. Re-measure standby draw at the wall with the strip in its off or scheduled state and record the reduction against the before reading.
- 6. Photograph the installed strip and confirm with the resident that unplugging it at move-out returns the outlet to its original, untouched state.
What counts as done
- Before standby-wattage reading per device with a plug-load meter
- Photo of the installed timer/smart power strip between the wall outlet and the device cluster
- Photo of the schedule or switch setting matched to the household's routine
- After standby-wattage reading confirming the reduction
- Confirmation the wall outlet itself was not modified -- the strip unplugs clean at move-out
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_1789886992356_ev6b1aj","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
