Implementation Notes

Data Layer

Capture observations from field, lab, sensors, harvest records, robotics logs, and human decisions.

Analytics Layer

Use trend detection, risk scoring, causal tests, and performance comparison to guide interventions.

Governance Layer

Separate public knowledge from restricted knowledge where safety, IP, or replication risk is involved.
