Provide a portable conformance suite that exposes silent unit, qualifier, site, or timestamp drift.
PLANNED EVIDENCE DESTINATION
Audit units and qualifiers in live USGS stream data
Sell recurring API migration monitoring, integration audits, alerts, and reliability service levels while keeping parity vectors open.
Water utilities, engineering firms, environmental-data vendors, or public dashboards migrating USGS integrations.
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.
UPSTREAM ROUTES
Trigger: a mismatch survives independent replication
Trigger: the accepted parity vectors cover their integration
