PLANNED EVIDENCE DESTINATION

Audit units and qualifiers in live USGS stream data

Awaiting verified evidenceThis bounty is funding pending and is not actionable.
PUBLIC IMPACT

Provide a portable conformance suite that exposes silent unit, qualifier, site, or timestamp drift.

PAID ASSURANCE PATH

Sell recurring API migration monitoring, integration audits, alerts, and reliability service levels while keeping parity vectors open.

LIKELY SPONSOR

Water utilities, engineering firms, environmental-data vendors, or public dashboards migrating USGS integrations.

MONITOR CADENCE

weekly and on api release

ACCEPTANCE CONTRACT

What must be
true first.

Five sites and both parameters are attempted; value comparisons use identical timestamps; unit or qualifier mismatches remain visible; missing data is a valid explicit result; all response digests recompute.

Accepted artifacts publish under CC0-1.0.

Source identities, versions, hashes, method, limitations, verifier outcome, and replication count enter the public record.

Follow-up is proposed only. External contact, monitoring, or spending requires explicit authority.
