Evidence from the field

See how a field measurement becomes a result

Each result connects a diagnosis, an action and the same indicator measured again against a baseline and control.

The dashboard starts here: the same plant, place and indicator measured again.

Evidence dashboard

From field indicators to a claim you can check

Track the measures that actually change, then roll them up by supplier and region.

!Sample data for demonstrating the dashboard, not published results. SoilBalance shows a few typical field results separately. Dashboard figures become claims only after each pilot verifies them against a baseline and control.

Worked example

One supplier, one diagnosis, one plan

Every portfolio indicator begins with a soil diagnosis on a single farm.

Root cause: compacted, acidic topsoil is limiting nutrient uptake. Adding more fertilizer would not solve it.

  • 1The soil contains nutrients, but the leaf is poor. The plant cannot take them up efficiently.
  • 2Penetrometer and VESS readings show compaction below 12 cm restricting roots.
  • 3A pH of 4.8 limits phosphorus and calcium. Correct the soil before adding more fertilizer.

✓Plan: Apply lime, enriched compost and biofertilizer over two cycles. Measure early signals at month 3 and nutrient uptake at month 12 against a control block.

Credible by design

Three rules protect the evidence

The dashboard is useful only when the field data behind it can be checked.

Independent of input sales

Recommendations follow the soil diagnosis, not a product catalogue.

Updated as the field changes

Supplier indicators refresh as pilots report new measurements.

Traceable to the lot

Each result keeps its location, baseline, action and follow-up measurement together.

Choose a treated and control lot, agree the indicators and build the evidence over time.
