Aftermine Proof
Measurement, reporting & verification
The layer that keeps the rest honest: live data, model-versus-measurement, provenance, uncertainty — published.
What it covers
- Live sensor data
- Model-versus-measurement comparisons
- Methane destruction records
- Energy and water balances
- Carbon-accounting methodology
- Data provenance and source files
- Uncertainty ranges
- Annual performance reports
How it works
Proof carries the founding principle: every number traces to evidence. Sensor streams are published live, model predictions are shown against what instruments actually read, and every figure on every Aftermine page carries its evidence status — measured, modelled, estimated, conflicting or unknown. Where sources disagree, the disagreement is flagged, never averaged away. Annual reports account for methane destroyed, energy delivered, water treated and land restored, with uncertainty ranges attached.
The five labels
- MeasuredRead from an instrument at the source, with a stated method and date.
- ModelledProduced by a published model from site parameters — no instrument involved.
- EstimatedDerived from analogues or expert ranges where no model or measurement exists.
- ConflictingTwo or more credible sources disagree. Flagged, never averaged away.
- UnknownNo credible figure exists. Stated plainly rather than filled in.
From the field study
The Proof prototype, live: every source, every model assumption, and how modelled figures are labelled — the discipline this layer industrialises.
