Common rolling evidence framework

Last 10 Days — Field Evidence

Each pilot keeps its appropriate evidence units and classifications; no forced fleet-wide numeric KPI is calculated.

Pilot 1

CSV Fountain

Evidence period: 2026-08-12 to 2026-09-19
Valid evidence days / coverage: 4/10 days · 40%
Key observed result: 98.3% water maintained · 7.9% lower VFD-reported motor loading
Controlled / intervention result: 10.7% average lower VFD-reported motor loading · 98.1% average water maintained
Evidence class: MEASURED
Data-quality note: 2 rows require data review; excluded from benefit claims.

How to read the evidence

MEASURED: Direct field sensor, VFD or RMS telemetry.
MODELLED: Calculated from an existing trained or authoritative model.
ESTIMATED: Indirectly calculated because direct instrumentation is absent.
PRELIMINARY CONTROLLED FIELD EVIDENCE: A controlled comparison requiring further repeat validation.
DATA REVIEW: Anomaly or insufficient data; unsuitable for a benefit claim.
UNAVAILABLE: Required evidence does not exist.
