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

Offer to pay $180. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
This is a self-report screen, never a periodontal diagnosis, which needs probing depths from a dental professional. Facial or gum swelling with fever, severe tooth pain, or pus or drainage routes immediately to urgent dental or emergency care, since an untreated abscess can become life-threatening.
The full safety list for this job:
- Any bleeding, recession, mobility, or more than 12 months since a professional cleaning routes to a dentist or periodontist.
- The ARIC figures are cohort associations for a population, never a risk for one person: this packet promises no stroke prevention from dental care, reads no result as a cardiovascular finding, and sends any symptom of stroke (sudden face droop, arm weakness, speech trouble) to emergency care at once, ahead of any dental step.
- This packet is independent of and not affiliated with the University of North Carolina or the study authors: named as the real, verified home of researchers on a cited study, not an endorsement or partnership, and no clinic or school is named as a referral here.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- the 5-item validated self-report form (paper or digital)
- a mirror and good lighting for the person to check their own gums and teeth
- tablet or clipboard for recording answers and the flag count
- a list of low-cost dental referral options for the person's area (FQHC, dental school clinic, sliding-scale clinic)
Steps
- 1. Ask the urgent red-flag screening question first: any facial or gum swelling with fever, severe tooth or gum pain, or pus or drainage right now. If yes, stop the self-audit and route immediately to urgent or emergency dental care.
- 2. Administer the 5 validated self-report items: bleeding when brushing or flossing, gum recession noticed, any loose or shifting tooth, persistent bad breath, and months since the last professional cleaning.
- 3. Record each answer and compute the flag count, how many of the 5 items were positive.
- 4. Record smoking status and diabetes status, both of which multiply periodontitis and cardiovascular risk, alongside the flag count.
- 5. Name a dentist or periodontist referral with a low-cost access route for the person's area (FQHC, dental school clinic, or sliding-scale clinic) and record the next booking step.
- 6. Enter the item answers, flag count, smoking and diabetes status, red-flag screen result, and referral into the record; sign.
What counts as done
- All five validated self-report items answered (bleeding, recession, mobility, halitosis, months since last professional cleaning) with the flag count computed
- Urgent red-flag screen (facial/gum swelling with fever, severe pain, pus/drainage) completed before the record closes, with any positive routed per the decision rules
- Smoking status and diabetes status recorded as periodontitis and cardiovascular-risk multipliers
- A dentist/periodontist referral recommended with a low-cost access route (an FQHC, sliding-scale clinic, or dental-school clinic) named and a next booking step recorded
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
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
