Reporting Workflow

The reporting workflow turns monthly project activity into a reviewed Atlas record. It is designed to keep sponsor reporting practical while giving investors confidence that approved values have an evidence trail.

Monthly Reporting Cycle

Submission Contents

Element	Requirement
Reporting period	The month the value represents.
Metric values	One or more assigned metric values using the standard unit.
Source description	Plain-language explanation of where values came from.
Method note	Calculation or estimation method where direct measurement is not obvious.
Evidence	Files, logs, exports, ledger entries, meter readings, surveys, photos, or reviewer references.
Submitter	Person or organization responsible for the submission.

Review Tests

A reviewer should test the submission for completeness, consistency, plausibility, and traceability. The reviewer does not need to re-perform every measurement, but the reviewer should be able to understand the method and identify obvious errors.

Test	Reviewer Question
Completeness	Are all required assigned metrics reported or explicitly marked missing?
Unit consistency	Does each value use the metric definition unit?
Period consistency	Does the evidence match the reporting month?
Method consistency	Is the calculation method stable across periods?
Plausibility	Does the value fit the asset size, production capacity, and recent trend?
Evidence quality	Is the evidence reliable enough for the intended reporting use?

Missing, Late, And Corrected Values

Missing values should remain visible as gaps rather than disappearing from the record. Late submissions should carry their original reporting period and actual submission date. Corrected values should supersede earlier values without deleting the earlier submission.

Note

Institutional reporting depends as much on visible gaps and corrections as on positive reported values. Atlas should make reporting discipline observable.

Material Events

A metric movement can become a material event when it signals a change in safety, legality, project availability, repayment ability, stakeholder trust, or the credibility of investor reporting. Examples include a major operating outage, loss of water source, material crop failure, evidence integrity issue, or unresolved community dispute affecting reporting.
