viridis-eco-funding
The ecological funding layer of the Viridis open-source stack. Open tools that let people and AI agents put a value on a site's ecological complexity, check that value, and model how a pledge pool for it would behave. All of it is reproducible.
NOTICE. Any real funding pool needs legal review before money moves. This software holds, moves and releases no funds. It computes ecological measures and simulates pool rules. Viridis builds and licenses software only. Viridis never runs a co-op, holds funds or sells financial products.
Status: v0.1.0. Private working repository with the Apache-2.0 license. Not peer reviewed. The D-Score is under journal review. The intelligence bound is a conjecture, and every output that uses it says so.
What it does
Quick start
The worked example is examples/woodland_valuation.ipynb. It values one VergeCommon woodland project. The project record is synthetic, because VergeCommon's public directory listed no co-ops when v0.1 was built.
Invariants (each one is a test)
docs/INVARIANTS.md explains how each invariant is enforced in code as well as tested.
Documents
METHOD.md: the math, constants, uncertainty propagation and citations.
LIMITS.md: what the numbers do and do not mean. Read it before using a number to make a decision.
AGENTS.md: for coding agents and for agents that call the tools.
CHANGELOG.md
Where it fits
It reads VergeCommon public project records, and it was derived from EcoChain's work on verification and pricing. It uses HDFM / Dendritic Forest Management corridor links and its movement kernel, and GSIP soil units. Its scientific basis is the D-Score and the intelligence-bound papers by J. D. Hart (see METHOD.md). Wording used throughout: pledge, pool, outcome-linked release.
