Client Evidence Packs

Turn field records into client-ready evidence.

Client Evidence Packs collate locked Proof Records, authorised private evidence, public record links and agronomist notes into a structured document for one client, one season and one crop scope.

Records remain the evidence objects. Packs collate them for client review.

Section IIWhat a Client Evidence Pack is

The record is the evidence object. The pack is the client-facing collation.

A Proof Record is permanent, structured, and published as a public redacted projection. A Client Evidence Pack is a document generated from selected Proof Records for a named client, season and crop scope. The pack does not replace the records. It does not rewrite them. It does not turn them into recommendations.

The pack collates what was tested, what happened, what evidence exists, how strong the record structure is, what conflicts were declared, what private evidence is authorised for the named client, and what public links can be shared freely.

Section IIIWhy packs matter

Agronomists already run trials. Farmers already ask what happened.

Evidence often sits in folders, spreadsheets, slide decks and memory. Proof turns that seasonal work into a structured record base, and then turns the record base into a professional client document.

  1. 01
    Explain trial outcomes clearly
    Each record is presented with what was tested, against what, with what evidence and with what outcome. Outcome direction is shown alongside evidence quality.
  2. 02
    Keep null and negative results visible
    Locked records are not filtered out by outcome direction. A null or negative record sits in the pack alongside a positive one.
  3. 03
    Show evidence without overclaiming
    The pack collates evidence; it does not draw recommendations. Agronomist notes are attributed and separated.
  4. 04
    Separate public records from private farm evidence
    Public Proof Record links can be shared freely. Private contents stay between named authorised parties.
  5. 05
    Prepare end-of-season client reviews
    The pack is a structured artefact for the agronomist-client review conversation. It does not replace the conversation; it gives it a shared reference.
  6. 06
    Identify next-season evidence opportunities
    Each record can carry forward into stronger protocol design, randomisation, replication or independent review next season.
  7. 07
    Build trust over time
    Across seasons, the pack becomes a longitudinal record of agronomist work on a farm. Trust-state progression and addenda accumulate visibly.
Section IVWhat a pack contains

The anatomy of a Client Evidence Pack.

Every pack is generated from structured records. The same sections appear in every pack, in the same order, with content drawn from the records and the authorisations attached to them.

  1. 01
    Pack cover
    Client, season, crop scope, inventory summary, pack UID and confidentiality band.
  2. 02
    Record inventory
    Numbered list of every locked record included, with UID, crop, title, outcome and evidence state.
  3. 03
    Evidence summary
    Crops covered, product categories, trial types, outcome directions and evidence states across the pack.
  4. 04
    Individual record pages
    One page per record, with what was tested, control, field context, outcome, evidence included, conflicts, addenda and Evidence Query state.
  5. 05
    Public record links
    Resolvable links to the public projections of each included record.
  6. 06
    Authorised private evidence
    Where authorised, raw evidence files and private field references for the named client.
  7. 07
    Evidence Query state
    Any open or addressed Evidence Queries on each record.
  8. 08
    Addenda state
    Any addenda filed on each record. Original record content stays; addenda are dated and attributed.
  9. 09
    Conflict declarations
    Any contributor affiliations or sponsorships declared on each record.
  10. 10
    Benchmark context where available
    Cohort context where the privacy threshold is met. Comparable evidence, not product recommendation.
  11. 11
    Agronomist notes
    Attributed interpretive notes per record, separated from the Proof institutional voice.
  12. 12
    Next-season evidence opportunities
    Suggestions for strengthening records in the following season.
  13. 13
    What this pack does not claim
    A standard statement on the limits of the pack as evidence.
Section VPack cover · sample

The cover sets the scope.

Every pack opens with a cover identifying the named client, the agronomist preparing it, the season and crop scope, a record inventory summary, and a confidentiality band.

Section VIIIIndividual record page · sample

One page per record. Structured by section.

The record page in the pack mirrors the structure of the underlying Proof Record, with one important addition: where the named client has authorised it, private farm context can be shown alongside the public projection.

Status
Structured · Protocol locked
What was tested
A plant biostimulant applied at T1 across two strips in Field 14, against two untreated strips in the same field. Standard farm management programme applied across all strips.
Control
Untreated. Two strips placed across the field's typical management zones to capture variability. Strips were not randomised within blocks.
Field context · authorised for client
Authorised for Hawthorne Estate · this pack only
Hawthorne Estate · Field 14 · 12.4 ha · heavy clay with stone. Drill date 06 Oct 2025. Previous crop: winter oilseed rape. Field-level management notes referenced in private evidence below.
Outcome
+0.41 t/ha against untreated, averaged across the two treated strips and two control strips. One season, specific conditions.
Evidence included in this pack
  • Yield file (combine telemetry) · public metadata · private raw file authorised for client
  • Application photographs · public redacted derivatives · private raw files authorised for client
  • Protocol document · public redacted derivative
  • Product batch reference · private to client and contributor

Conflicts and affiliations
None declared on this record.
Addenda and Evidence Queries
No addenda filed. No Evidence Queries open.
What this record does not claim
The record does not claim the product works in general. It does not claim the +0.41 t/ha generalises to other fields, seasons, or conditions. It records one set of strips, in one field, in one season, with the controls and evidence noted.
Agronomist noteEleanor Marsh · Marsh Crop Advisory

Strip trial against an untreated control at T1, with strips placed across the field's typical management zones. Results are encouraging but the control was not randomised, and the dry spell after T1 application means establishment-stage stress varied across both strips. Worth repeating in 2026/27 with a pre-application protocol lock and a small randomised plot trial alongside the strip work. The +0.41 t/ha figure should be read as one season under specific conditions.

Section IXPublic links and private evidence

What may be shared freely. What stays between authorised parties.

Every pack distinguishes between contents that are part of the public ledger — which can be shared with anyone — and contents that are private to the named client and authorised parties only.

Section XBenchmark context · where available

Comparable cohorts, where the privacy threshold is met.

Where comparable public records exist in sufficient number, the pack can include a benchmark context section: the shape of the cohort, the distribution of outcomes, the median delta. Where the privacy threshold of five records across three farms and two contributors is not met, the section is omitted.

Read in context. A record sitting at one end of the range is one observation, not a verdict. Outcome direction is separate from evidence quality.

Benchmark context is shown only where privacy thresholds are met. It describes comparable evidence, not product recommendation.

Section XIAgronomist notes

Interpretive notes are attributed and separated.

Records are evidence. Notes are interpretation. The two appear in the same pack but in distinct visual registers: records carry Proof's institutional structure, notes carry the agronomist's name and voice.

Notes are interpretive and attributed to the agronomist. They sit beside the Proof Record; they do not change it.

Agronomist notes are interpretive. Proof Records remain the evidence objects.

Section XII · Limits of the pack

What a pack does not claim.

  1. 01A pack does not claim that any product works in general.
  2. 02A pack does not rank products.
  3. 03A pack does not recommend products.
  4. 04A pack does not replace agronomic judgement.
  5. 05A pack does not turn one recorded outcome into a general claim.
  6. 06A pack does not expose private farm data publicly.
A pack collates what was recorded, what evidence supports it, what limits exist, and what may be worth testing next.
A pack is a record collation, not a product verdict.
Section XIIIHow packs are created in the Workbench

Packs are generated from structured records, not assembled from scratch.

The contributor flow is structured. Selection happens against the existing evidence base; visibility is set per-evidence-item; authorisation is explicit and logged; the pack itself is hashed at generation.

  1. 01
    Select client
    Choose the named client farm the pack is being prepared for. Permissions are checked at this step.
  2. 02
    Select season and crop scope
    Limit the pack to a defined season and one or more crops. The scope appears on the pack cover.
  3. 03
    Choose locked records
    Add locked Proof Records relevant to the client, season and scope. Drafts cannot be included; only locked records appear in client packs.
  4. 04
    Review evidence visibility
    Review each record's Evidence Manifest. Public derivatives are included by default; raw private files require explicit per-pack authorisation.
  5. 05
    Confirm authorised private evidence
    Explicitly authorise any private evidence to be included for this client. Authorisation is per-pack and logged.
  6. 06
    Add agronomist notes
    Write interpretive notes per record. Notes are attributed to the agronomist, not to Proof. They sit beside the records, not inside them.
  7. 07
    Add benchmark context where available
    Where comparable public cohorts pass the privacy threshold, benchmark context is offered for inclusion. Where not, it is omitted.
  8. 08
    Review what the pack does not claim
    The 'does not claim' page is included automatically. Review it before generation to confirm the framing matches the client conversation.
  9. 09
    Generate pack
    The pack is built, hashed, given a UID, and stored in the Workbench under the client farm. The underlying records do not change.
  10. 10
    Export PDF or share controlled link
    The pack can be exported as a PDF or shared with the named client through a controlled link with audit logging.
Section XIVFuture pack types

Other structured pack formats are planned. None change the public ledger.

The same generation principles apply: built from locked records, public/private boundaries enforced, authorisations explicit, no implication of guaranteed commercial outcomes.

  1. Buyer Evidence Packs
    Coming soon
    Packs designed for conversations with buyers, processors and grain traders. May support stronger buyer conversations where recorded evidence matters. They do not guarantee premiums, buyer acceptance or commercial outcomes.
  2. Supply-chain Evidence Packs
    Coming soon
    Packs prepared for supply-chain partners and assurance workflows. Built on the same redaction and authorisation rules as Client Evidence Packs.
  3. Assurance Evidence Packs
    Coming soon
    Packs prepared for assurance scheme submissions. Cite public Proof Records by UID and hash; authorised private evidence by explicit scheme participation.
  4. Multi-season Evidence Packs
    Coming soon
    Packs spanning multiple seasons of work with a single client. Tracks repetition, trust-state progression, and addenda across years.
  5. Research Cohort Packs
    Coming soon
    Packs prepared for research partners working on cohort studies and methodology development.
