Environmental evidence · Fourth evidence pillar

Spatial intelligence for governed nature-risk evidence.

Earth Observation, geospatial data and FieldTrace ground truth are linked to farms, plots, batches, routes, buyer regions, contracts and funding pathways — without transferring institutional decision authority.

Four evidence pillars. One governed chain.

Spatial intelligence completes the evidence architecture. It does not replace field, economic or institutional evidence.

01

Ground evidence

FieldTrace observations, inspections, photos, measurements and operator records.

FieldTrace
02

Economic evidence

Listings, volumes, prices, batches, facilities and route activity.

Marketplaces
03

Institutional evidence

Authority profiles, reviewer routes, reliance conditions and controlled releases.

Governance Spine
04

Environmental evidence

Hazard, exposure, vulnerability, trend, uncertainty and spatial provenance.

Evidence-integrity controls

  • Source, acquisition time and geometry version preserved
  • Observed and modelled evidence separated
  • Methodology, uncertainty and permitted use declared
  • Supersession without silent overwrite
  • Content hash and reviewer route retained

Synthetic-carbon methodology link

Spatial evidence may contextualise soil condition, vegetation trend, water stress and land-management history within the Nigeria pilot.

It does not issue credits, certify removals, validate additionality or replace an authorised carbon methodology.

Every spatial output passes through a controlled reviewer route.

Step 0

Intake boundary

Subject, geometry, intended use, source class and prohibited reliance.

Step 1

Evidence review

Completeness, temporal fit, uncertainty and ground-truth sufficiency.

Step 2

Attribution review

Farm, plot, batch, route, contract, region and actor linkage.

Step 3

Method review

HEV logic, weights, thresholds and limitations.

Step 4

Reliance review

Permitted use for procurement, logistics, finance or insurance.

Step 5

Assurance

Exceptions, reliance conditions and unresolved evidence gaps.

Step 6

Controlled release

Bounded output, authorised recipient, version and audit continuity.

Authority boundary

Terra Vita structures evidence. Institutions retain decisions.

The module does not approve funding, price insurance, certify environmental performance, determine compliance, validate carbon outcomes, award procurement or direct logistics. Receiving institutions retain validation, underwriting, contracting, decision and publication authority.

One module across market, field, governance and funding surfaces.

Netherlands

NL Marketplace

Regional exposure, route bundling, buyer-region risk and continuity evidence.

Nigeria

Nigeria Marketplace

Soil health, hazard exposure, regenerative evidence and carbon context.

Ground truth

FieldTrace

Inspections, calibration events, observations and discrepancy escalation.

Funding Spine

Risk adjustment, reliance conditions, adaptation actions and DFI evidence packs.
