Scope and Applicability This PCR concerns managed-grown fresh cut whole Christmas trees at actual grower dispatch. It works backward from that reference product through the real producer route, including upstream planting-stock supply and the entire producing cohort, not only the cutting year. It does not prescribe a universal species, height, grade, cultivation duration or handling technology. Wild cutting, rooted or potted/replanting trees, artificial/decorated goods and retail, use and end-of-life are outside this scope. OSU PNW684 establishes a managed multi-year crop whose species, origin and buyer grade affect cultivation; pruning boughs and failed trees require separate accounting. PNW6 establishes harvest and producer-side preparation/dispatch work, including cutting/yarding and conditional shaking or baling. Neither publication supplies PCR inventory defaults. The dispatch boundary is a producer handover, not a mandatory forest-roadside or retail gate. ## 2. Product Category Identity | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | canonical_pcr_id | pcr.agriculture-forestry-and-fishery-products.forestry-and-logging-products.christmas-trees | | classification_refs | CPC 3.0 03241; proposed narrower scope | | covered_products | Managed-grown fresh whole cut Christmas trees, declared species and buyer height-grade, with actual primary protective presentation | | excluded_products | Wild-cut trees; rooted/potted/replanting trees; artificial/decorated goods; isolated boughs as reference goods; deliberately dried/preserved goods; downstream retail/use/disposal | | representative_product | Accepted net fresh cut whole tree mass at grower dispatch | | production_route | Nursery supply; establishment and full-cohort cultivation; cut/yard; actual preparation; grade; actual protective holding; presentation/load/dispatch | | market_state | Fresh whole cut trees; package netting/ties/supports declared separately | ## 3. Reference Flow | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | What | Managed-grown fresh cut whole Christmas trees accepted at the actual grower dispatch gate | | How much | 1 kg accepted net fresh tree mass, excluding packaging, supports and foreign matter | | How well | Actual species/provenance, height measurement convention and buyer grade acceptance are declared; no universal grade or shelf-life claim | | How long or cycle | Actual multi-year cohort establishment-to-harvest phases plus cut-to-dispatch interval; replacements, failed trees and stocks carried between years are disclosed | | reference_flow_link | `tree_dispatch` | | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Reference amount | 1 | | Reference product flow | Fresh cut Christmas trees `ab8a7694-6ea2-4cce-b535-9358f74c1189` | | Reference flow property | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | | Reference unit group | Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` | | Reference unit | kg | | Required qualifiers | Managed-grown origin; actual species and provenance; contributing sites/blocks; cohort establishment and harvest dates; height convention and buyer grade; accepted net fresh mass and moisture/state at dispatch; actual tree count and measured count-to-mass relationship if count-based records are used; true dispatch actor/gate; preparation/holding status; packaging exclusion; rejected and co-product destinations | Declare all required qualifiers in the foreground package. One kilogram is an accounting reference, not a claim that a one-kilogram tree exists. Species/grade lots are not functionally interchangeable by mass alone; retain their actual mix and do not publish a configuration-free per-tree factor. ## 4. Measurement and Unit Rules | rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | reference_mass | reference product | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg | Weigh accepted fresh dispatch tree lots on a calibrated scale under cp_dispatch; subtract separately measured package/support tare and rejected material. Use only positive accepted net tree mass. | | fresh_state | planting_stock; standing_crop; grow_bough_goods; harvest_standing_feed; cut_trees; condition_tree_feed; prepared_trees; grade_tree_feed; accepted_grades; downgraded_goods; offspec_return; hold_tree_feed; held_trees; dispatch_tree_feed; tree_dispatch | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg | Preserve actual fresh mass and measured moisture/state for each biological transfer; do not use a generic dry-matter or count conversion. | | delivered_energy | grow_energy; harvest_energy; condition_energy; grade_energy; hold_energy; dispatch_energy | Energy | MJ | Only actual energy subexchanges use this rule; native service properties/units remain separate. Preserve original fuel quantity, fuel identity and heating-value convention; distinguish electricity from fuels. Convert electricity using the exact unit equality 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ, not a heat-generation efficiency. | | material_basis | grow_materials | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg | Preserve each fertilizer formulation mass and declared nutrient basis separately, each plant-protection product and active ingredient separately, and purchased water apart from natural abstraction; never sum unlike substances as one concrete flow. | Count-only invoices are not mass observations. Collect paired actual count, species/height-grade and accepted net mass of the same lot; reconstruct the actual total attributable activity for that lot, then divide by its accepted net mass. If those records do not exist, mass-normalized data production is incomplete. No assumed average tree mass, standard rotation, yield or moisture factor is allowed. | rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `provisional_range_evidence_policy` | all Ranges and actual exchanges | compatible property of each actual exchange | native unit of each actual exchange | All reasoned_estimate Ranges are provisional review prompts for this candidate method, not measured distributions, allowable losses, default quantities or emission factors. Never clip, backfill or force actual records to fit them; investigate state, units, boundary, stocks and evidence when exceeded. Before completing a data package, determine actual quantities and uncertainty from traceable measurements or applicable reviewed quantitative sources. Retain missing amounts, factors and flow identities as gaps that block completeness claims; passing a range screen is not evidence. | ## 5. System Boundary ### Boundary Abstraction | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | declared_starting_condition | Actual managed planted cohort with traceable nursery planting-stock supply, establishment, replacement and annual cultivation history | | starting_condition_role | Foreground crop production start; nursery supply remains required upstream technosphere coverage | | product_classification_scope | Narrower managed-grown fresh cut whole-tree portion of CPC 03241, not all origins or presentations | | recursive_input_rule | Purchased trees of the same category retain supplier upstream datasets and genuine receipt/handling; do not reopen their production in this foreground or count them as own-grown reference without origin disclosure | | upstream_dataset_requirement | Nursery stock, supplied materials, energy and attributable assets/services require compatible upstream datasets with declared geography, time, state and unit; missing coverage is a gap, never zero | | disclosure | Actual cohort periods/sites, biological and package stocks, upstream coverage, bypassed optional nodes, actual handovers, shared assets, rejects, co-products, direct releases and exclusions | ### Boundary Rules | rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | bound_cohort | grow; harvest | Include establishment, all cultivation years, replacements and failed-tree burdens attributable to harvested lots; identify remaining living stocks and termination rather than placing all lifetime burdens in one harvest year. | osu-christmas-culture | | bound_actual_path | all processes | Use the actual graph: grow to harvest; harvest directly to grade or through condition; grade directly to dispatch or through hold. Rework returns link to the originating off-spec lot and actual receiving node. Do not invent bypassed activity or treat transfers as additional final sales. | osu-christmas-harvest | | bound_gates | dispatch | End at actual producer acceptance/loading handover; include producer-side movement and loading once, exclude carrier distribution/retail/use/end-of-life. Declare any geographically distinct grower handling site and include its connecting transport once. | osu-christmas-harvest | | bound_direct | grow; all processes | Managed biomass is not a wild whole-tree elementary removal. Record actual environmental abstractions and direct substance releases with receiving media; model biogenic carbon only with an explicit reviewed balance/method, separate stored carbon from sequestration credits and disclose incomplete terms. | | | bound_assets_sites | all processes | Index every contributing field/block/nursery interface/yard, shared tractor, shed or irrigation service and each consuming node/year. Include attributable upstream asset/services once using observed causal usage and actual service periods; disclose residual unmatched coverage. | | | bound_optional | condition; hold; dispatch | Actual preparation, fresh holding and package presentation do not automatically create a new tree identity. A distinct physical transformation or incompatible state needs separate identity evidence; attached package mass never enters tree reference mass. | | | bound_identity_reuse | all own-grown fresh tree transfers | Reusing one compatible flow UUID identifies the physical fresh product only. Preserve actual upstream/downstream process links and measured internal quantities; do not reload a complete farmgate background dataset at every own-grown internal node, count an intermediate transfer as completed dispatch, or count the same lot as a second sale. External purchases retain their actual supplier coverage separately. | | | `boundary_direct_release_coverage` | `grow`; `harvest`; `condition`; `grade`; `hold`; `dispatch` | Reconcile on-site combustion, actual applications and fugitive releases/leaks at every activated node through unique activity-substance-receiving-medium records in cp_direct_release_grow; cp_direct_release_harvest; cp_direct_release_condition; cp_direct_release_grade; cp_direct_release_hold; cp_direct_release_dispatch. Upstream production of purchased fuel or chemicals does not replace emissions from their use on site; verify coverage and avoid double counting the same activity inside a supplier service. Evidence must support non-activity; missing data are not zero. This obligation does not expand the existing product gate or downstream-use boundary and does not presume combustion, fertilization, chemicals or equipment occur. | | Select the route from actual incoming state and ownership. Qualified purchased harvested, extracted, prepared or graded feed may enter at its real receiving node; completed upstream operations are not mandatory foreground operations and standing stock or biological resources must not be charged again. Receiving cards record actual material, grade, wet/dry basis, receipt gate, upstream dataset and process coverage; add the actual receiving exchange if none exists. Bypass does not remove upstream burdens; actual operations cannot be skipped and final reference product, quality and gate remain unchanged. ## 6. Process Inventory Structure ### Process Map | process_id | process_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `grow` | Managed crop establishment and full-cohort cultivation | conditional | Managed cultivation is owned inside the foreground for the represented cohort. Purchased fresh cut trees bypass growth while retaining verified managed-origin and matching upstream cultivation burdens. | managed biological production | per 1 kg reference flow | | `harvest_to_dispatch` | Aggregated harvest-to-producer-dispatch inventory | required | Final acceptance/dispatch is mandatory; activate the other actual activities below without repeating completed purchased-feed operations | Aggregate boundary for harvesting, preparation, grading, holding and dispatch | per 1 kg reference flow | The inventory has two nodes: grow and harvest_to_dispatch. The latter aggregates the five actual activities harvest, condition, grade, hold and dispatch without removing their operations, losses, sites, direct releases or multi-year attribution duties. Their original identifiers remain activity labels in collection protocols, row ids and rules, not five separate inventory nodes. Cancel matched internal transfer pairs only within this aggregate boundary; retain the unallocated measured ledger, stocks and rework, and never force internal quantities to equal accepted net dispatch mass. Standing-tree receipts, external purchased cut trees, materials, services, wastes, direct releases and final outputs crossing the boundary retain complete flow cards. A later subdivision into separate unit processes must reconstruct both sides of every internal transfer and be validated independently; this aggregate projection is not a validated disaggregated process graph. ### Activities and activation inside the aggregate node | activity_id | activity_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `harvest` | Cutting and yarding | conditional | Actual cutting or yarding occurs inside the foreground. Purchased already cut/yarded trees bypass the corresponding completed operations with matched upstream coverage. | harvest | per 1 kg reference flow | | `condition` | Primary shaking and preparation | `conditional` | Actual shaking or primary preparation occurs | primary conditioning | per 1 kg reference flow | | `grade` | Buyer grade and destination determination | `required` | Always within the declared actual route | grading and sorting | per 1 kg reference flow | | `hold` | Bounded fresh protective holding | `conditional` | Actual protected holding occurs before dispatch | preservation and stabilization | per 1 kg reference flow | | `dispatch` | Protective presentation and grower dispatch | `required` | Always within the declared actual route | packaging and presentation; producer dispatch | per 1 kg reference flow | ### Process: Managed crop establishment and full-cohort cultivation (`grow`) Node `grow` must complete the direct-release coverage reconciliation in `cp_direct_release_grow`. Expand each actual substance/medium into an output elementary exchange at this node with a measured or evidence-calculated amount; link existing emission cards to the same event record rather than duplicating them. Distinguish non-occurrence, verified upstream-service coverage and missing evidence; an empty elementary-flow group does not satisfy this requirement. Managed standing trees pass to harvest; establishment, replacements and every cultivation year belong to the same cohort. Fertilizers, irrigation, plant protection and training are conditional actual management inputs. Pruning boughs may be independent intended goods, returned residues or waste. #### Inputs ##### Product flows ###### Supplied planting stock (`planting_stock`) Nursery seedlings or transplants enter the managed cohort with species/provenance and measured delivery mass; upstream nursery supply is required. They are not harvested Christmas trees. - Selected flow: Christmas-tree planting stock - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Unit group: Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` - Amount rule: Measured attributable quantity under cp_grow, divided by accepted net dispatch mass; retain the actual internal quantity before normalization - Value mode: Calculated value (`calculated_value`) - Specificity: Site-specific (`site_specific`) - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: Reference flow (`reference_flow`) - Evidence kind: Calculated from collection (`calculated_from_collection`) - Collection protocol: `cp_grow` - Range: Provisional non-default investigation screen; replace with reviewed evidence - Range role: QA guardrail (`qa_guardrail`) - Lower: 0 - Upper: 20 - Unit: kg - Basis: per 1 kg reference flow; provisional non-enforcing screen, not a default or a physical acceptance limit - Basis kind: Reference flow (`reference_flow`) - Evidence kind: Reasoned estimate (`reasoned_estimate`) ###### Electricity at the equipment supply point (`grow_energy_electricity`) **Collection scope and applicability for grow_energy.** The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services. Identify each actual fuel or electricity exchange in its own conditional card and preserve its delivered-energy basis. Activation requires actual use. Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the product UUID does not establish actual use or upstream-provider compatibility. Retain the electricity supply point, fuel grade, density and heating-value basis. Distinguish purchased heat from on-site fuel conversion without counting its input fuel again. - Selected flow: Alternating current `455f0ef5-6118-4f2b-a3f5-1f75e0afe3ca` - Flow property / unit: Energy / kWh - Amount rule: Collect raw quantities for this identity under `cp_grow` and calculate the exchange per declared reference flow using the original attribution rules. - Value mode: Foreground record (`foreground_record`) - Specificity: Site-specific (`site_specific`) - Normalization basis: per declared reference flow - Basis kind: Reference flow (`reference_flow`) - Evidence kind: Collected record (`collected_record`) - Collection protocol: `cp_grow` - Sources: `fao-agricultural-energy` This binding is alternating current at the use point with supply technology, voltage and provider unspecified. Confirm actual AC supply; DC requires a different identity. The database reference is 1 MJ: preserve meter kWh and convert once using 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ when linking reference quantities. Internal generation links to its foreground generator, without an additional purchased-electricity burden. ###### Diesel fuel supplied to equipment (`grow_energy_diesel`) Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the product UUID does not establish actual use or upstream-provider compatibility. Retain the electricity supply point, fuel grade, density and heating-value basis. Distinguish purchased heat from on-site fuel conversion without counting its input fuel again. - Selected flow: Diesel fuel `9d258d75-6792-4f1c-9856-81602ed8f816` - Flow property / unit: Mass / kg - Amount rule: Collect raw quantities for this identity under `cp_grow` and calculate the exchange per declared reference flow using the original attribution rules. - Value mode: Foreground record (`foreground_record`) - Specificity: Site-specific (`site_specific`) - Normalization basis: per declared reference flow - Basis kind: Reference flow (`reference_flow`) - Evidence kind: Collected record (`collected_record`) - Collection protocol: `cp_grow` - Sources: `fao-agricultural-energy` ##### Waste flows No additional compulsory exchange; document actual absence or out-of-scope classification rather than inventing a flow. ##### Elementary flows #### Outputs ##### Product flows ###### Managed living crop handed to harvest (`standing_crop`) An internal biological-production interface, not a fresh cut tree sale. Attribute the traced harvested fraction of the standing cohort and separately retain unfinished, failed and replacement stock records. - Selected flow: Managed living Christmas-tree crop - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Unit group: Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` - Amount rule: Measured attributable quantity under cp_grow, divided by accepted net dispatch mass; retain the actual internal quantity before normalization - Value mode: Calculated value (`calculated_value`) - Specificity: Site-specific (`site_specific`) - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: Reference flow (`reference_flow`) - Evidence kind: Calculated from collection (`calculated_from_collection`) - Collection protocol: `cp_grow` - Range: Provisional non-default investigation screen; replace with reviewed evidence - Range role: QA guardrail (`qa_guardrail`) - Lower: 0 - Upper: 20 - Unit: kg - Basis: per 1 kg reference flow; provisional non-enforcing screen, not a default or a physical acceptance limit - Basis kind: Reference flow (`reference_flow`) - Evidence kind: Reasoned estimate (`reasoned_estimate`) ###### Separately intended pruning bough goods (`grow_bough_goods`) Only an independently intended and accepted bough product crossing its documented handover is a co-product; enumerate every such grade/destination without assuming a market. - Selected flow: Pruning bough goods by actual identity - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Unit group: Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` - Amount rule: Measured attributable quantity under cp_grow, divided by accepted net dispatch mass; retain the actual internal quantity before normalization - Value mode: Calculated value (`calculated_value`) - Specificity: Site-specific (`site_specific`) - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: Reference flow (`reference_flow`) - Evidence kind: Calculated from collection (`calculated_from_collection`) - Collection protocol: `cp_grow` - Range: Provisional non-default investigation screen; replace with reviewed evidence - Range role: QA guardrail (`qa_guardrail`) - Lower: 0 - Upper: 20 - Unit: kg - Basis: per 1 kg reference flow; provisional non-enforcing screen, not a default or a physical acceptance limit - Basis kind: Reference flow (`reference_flow`) - Evidence kind: Reasoned estimate (`reasoned_estimate`) ##### Waste flows ##### Elementary flows ### Process: Aggregated harvest-to-producer-dispatch inventory (`harvest_to_dispatch`) The inventory has two nodes: grow and harvest_to_dispatch. The latter aggregates the five actual activities harvest, condition, grade, hold and dispatch without removing their operations, losses, sites, direct releases or multi-year attribution duties. Their original identifiers remain activity labels in collection protocols, row ids and rules, not five separate inventory nodes. Cancel matched internal transfer pairs only within this aggregate boundary; retain the unallocated measured ledger, stocks and rework, and never force internal quantities to equal accepted net dispatch mass. Standing-tree receipts, external purchased cut trees, materials, services, wastes, direct releases and final outputs crossing the boundary retain complete flow cards. A later subdivision into separate unit processes must reconstruct both sides of every internal transfer and be validated independently; this aggregate projection is not a validated disaggregated process graph. Activity `harvest` must complete the direct-release coverage reconciliation in `cp_direct_release_harvest`. Expand each actual substance/medium into an output elementary exchange at this node with a measured or evidence-calculated amount; link existing emission cards to the same event record rather than duplicating them. Distinguish non-occurrence, verified upstream-service coverage and missing evidence; an empty elementary-flow group does not satisfy this requirement. Cutting separates the living managed crop from fresh cut whole trees. Yarding ends at the actual grower handling point; it does not imply a new sale or a wild-resource-removal flow. Keep cut losses, uncropped standing stock and incidental material distinct. Activity `condition` must complete the direct-release coverage reconciliation in `cp_direct_release_condition`. Expand each actual substance/medium into an output elementary exchange at this node with a measured or evidence-calculated amount; link existing emission cards to the same event record rather than duplicating them. Distinguish non-occurrence, verified upstream-service coverage and missing evidence; an empty elementary-flow group does not satisfy this requirement. Fresh cut whole trees enter; actual shaking or basal tidying prepares the same fresh product for grading. Removed needles and trimmings retain their real return, use or disposal destination. If absent, bypass without inventing an intervention or its inputs. Activity `grade` must complete the direct-release coverage reconciliation in `cp_direct_release_grade`. Expand each actual substance/medium into an output elementary exchange at this node with a measured or evidence-calculated amount; link existing emission cards to the same event record rather than duplicating them. Distinguish non-occurrence, verified upstream-service coverage and missing evidence; an empty elementary-flow group does not satisfy this requirement. Enumerate each accepted species/height/grade lot, a separately sold downgraded lot, off-spec trees awaiting identified return/rework, and actual discarded material. Buyer acceptance defines the dispatch reference; the PCR imposes no universal grade threshold. Grading is not another physical tree transformation. Activity `hold` must complete the direct-release coverage reconciliation in `cp_direct_release_hold`. Expand each actual substance/medium into an output elementary exchange at this node with a measured or evidence-calculated amount; link existing emission cards to the same event record rather than duplicating them. Distinguish non-occurrence, verified upstream-service coverage and missing evidence; an empty elementary-flow group does not satisfy this requirement. Accepted fresh trees enter a measured holding interval and leave in the same declared fresh state. Shade, cooling or water inputs are not compulsory: record only actual interventions, depletion, drying loss and rejected trees. This is not intentional drying or a shelf-life guarantee. Activity `dispatch` must complete the direct-release coverage reconciliation in `cp_direct_release_dispatch`. Expand each actual substance/medium into an output elementary exchange at this node with a measured or evidence-calculated amount; link existing emission cards to the same event record rather than duplicating them. Distinguish non-occurrence, verified upstream-service coverage and missing evidence; an empty elementary-flow group does not satisfy this requirement. Accept trees after the actual upstream path; netting, string, tags and supports are recorded only when used. Separate reusable equipment from one-way packaging and net tree mass from package mass. Loading ends at the actual grower dispatch acceptance event; downstream carrier distribution is excluded. #### Inputs ##### Product flows ###### Living managed crop received for cutting (`harvest_standing_feed`) Activity owner: harvest.

Allocation and Co-product Handling | rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | alloc_output_set | intended outputs | Enumerate every accepted tree grade, separately intended pruning bough good and independently sold downgraded good with its actual handover. Subdivide directly measured activities first; internal living/tree/package transfers are not additional sale outputs. | | | alloc_shared_outputs | shared cohort burden | Where subdivision cannot resolve shared tree/bough/grade production, collect the actual causal usage or biological-output relationship, declare and justify a PCR-specific allocation method and retain a sensitivity alternative. Economic allocation requires contemporaneous comparable actual prices and justified failure of physical attribution; no equal shares or universal factors. Missing material evidence blocks finalization. | | | alloc_years | grow; all periods | Carry establishment and annual inputs/asset usage by actual cohort and year; allocate harvested lots, still-living stock, failed stock and replacements once using the recorded production relationship. Repeated harvests cannot each absorb the same establishment burden, and failed crop burdens cannot vanish. | | | alloc_assets_runs | all processes | Attribute each shared asset/service and cleaning/changeover event once across its real consuming nodes, sites, years and lots using measured service use. Maintain a ledger of assigned and residual burden; no independent full-charge in every node. | | | alloc_returns | offspec_return; all rejects | Returns keep prior attributed burdens and acquire actual additional work once. Regrade/retrim losses retain their actual treatment or return route. Rejected material never enters accepted mass or produces an unsupported avoided-product credit. | | | alloc_sites | contributing sites | Aggregate by summing compatible attributable quantities and dividing by summed accepted net mass, retaining species/grade/cohort mix and site coverage; do not average site intensities without weights or mix uncovered sites into zero burden. | | Concrete cards do not inherit numerical ranges from the former aggregate card. Determine quantities from original records, stock/meter reconciliation and the declared reference flow; no default quantity or numeric screen is supplied without evidence matching the identity, unit, period and boundary. Missing range evidence is a quality disclosure, not zero use or proof of completeness. ## 8.

Conditional collection requirement for actual energy and operation services at this node. Identify fuel/electricity, actual contracted handling and shared asset/service use separately with their own native property/unit and actual period/consumer. Apply delivered_energy only to actual energy subexchanges; services are not converted to MJ. Retain attributed service quantities and ensure the shared ledger charges each consumer once. Original quantity method: Measured attributable quantity under cp_dispatch, divided by accepted net dispatch mass; retain the actual internal quantity before normalization Identify the actual input for this operation from supplier specifications, equipment and primary records. This is a mandatory collection requirement, not an exchange. Before dataset completeness, represent each used material, formulated product, carrier or independently purchased service by one physically specific card with its native quantity/property; confirm a compatible UUID, or retain an explicit unresolved identity and do not claim a fully linked dataset. Do not substitute a conditional example for an unknown actual input, invent a recipe, omit required use or infer zero from missing records. Attribute shared use, reusable assets and inclusive services once; preserve the original stage/period and measured throughput link to final reference output. The former aggregate range is not a component limit or consumption default. `dispatch_releases_specific_emission`: Activity owner: dispatch. Conditional collection requirement: identify each actual substance, water/air/soil receiving medium and mass basis from measurements or an explicitly evidenced model. Separate evaporation from solid residues; do not assume pollutant totals are concrete identities. Measured attributable quantity under cp_dispatch, divided by accepted net dispatch mass; retain the actual internal quantity before normalization This is a mandatory emission-identification requirement, not an aggregate elementary exchange. Identify every applicable substance and actual receiving compartment separately, with compatible units, measured activity or justified calculation method, parameter applicability and uncertainty. Preserve the original operation, period, allocation and final-reference normalization. Reconcile direct and indirect pathways and upstream coverage once; do not substitute total nitrogen, total combustion emissions or a generic pollutant for a named compound. Separately document actual environmental returns, with their material and destination, if relevant. Before dataset completeness create each required specific exchange, confirm a compatible UUID or explicitly retain its unresolved identity. Missing records do not establish zero or inapplicability. `dispatch_package_output_specific_output`: Activity owner: dispatch. Declare packaging handed to the next actor as a separate mass record paired to tree lot; it is neither a second tree output nor automatically a co-product with independent sales value. Measured attributable quantity under cp_dispatch, divided by accepted net dispatch mass; retain the actual internal quantity before normalization This is a mandatory output-identification requirement, not an aggregate exchange. Preserve every actual co-product, reject, packaging waste and treatment stream in this operation. Before dataset completeness create separate cards for physically distinct streams, with actual material/state, quantity, destination and Product/Waste role. A genuinely mixed waste stream may remain one physically defined mixture with measured composition; do not invent separation or count its components again. Keep unlike units separate, retain the original allocation and reference normalization, and reconcile the output balance. Identify actual functions before co-product allocation; waste does not acquire a co-product share merely by having mass. Confirm a compatible UUID or explicitly retain its unresolved identity. Missing records never establish zero or exclusion. `dispatch_waste_specific_output`: Activity owner: dispatch. Conditional collection requirement for actual removed material sent to treatment; preserve organic, package and hazardous identities.

Report original material, co-product and transfer totals Q as q_phys = Q/R without a burden-allocation share. Report environmental burdens B as b_ref = B_attributed/R only after one evidenced direct/output/period/asset attribution. Do not divide final-reference intensities again; cancel paired internal transfers only at whole-package aggregation, not as additional final outputs. | unallocated physical totals Q; burdens B and attribution records; matched positive reference mass R | exchange amount per 1 kg reference flow | | | derive_count_records | count-based source records | Collect paired actual count and accepted net fresh mass for the same species/height-grade lot; reconstruct actual activity totals from source records, then use normalize_lot_mass. A bare count-only invoice is incomplete, not an assumed kilogram conversion. | paired actual count/mass; lot/species/height-grade; original activity records | traced lot activity totals and count-to-mass relationship | | | reconcile_stocks | each biological and package handover | Reconcile actual input, output, return, remaining stock and loss separately for each state/period; fresh moisture and dry/biogenic terms are not interchangeable. Investigate residuals rather than inventing a balancing release. | indexed masses/counts; actual moisture/state; returns; loss; stock | disclosed reconciliation and unexplained residual | | | energy_unit_equality | energy cards | Convert measured electricity kWh to MJ by multiplying by 3.6; retain original records and actual fuel heating-value convention separately. This is unit conversion, not electricity-to-heat equivalence. | actual electricity kWh; actual fuel records | delivered-energy quantities with identities retained | | | attribution_ledger | all shared burdens | Reconcile the total source burden to allocations across actual output/site/cohort/year/asset/lot consumers and a disclosed residual. Record rework added burden separately from carried burden. | original burden; actual usage/output evidence; declared allocation | assigned and residual burdens without duplicates | | | `calculate_direct_release_ledger` | `grow`; `harvest`; `condition`; `grade`; `hold`; `dispatch` | For each unique event, substance and medium, obtain raw release E from measurement or the cited applicable method using activity A and a compatible factor EF; use E = A * EF only for a genuinely simple-factor method, after checking units and abatement scope. Do not add different substances/media; retain an unallocated raw-release ledger. Divide attributed burden totals once by matched positive final reference quantity R; do not renormalize final-reference intensities or allocate a shared event twice. Unexplained material residuals are not automatically emissions and missing factors are not zero. | cp_direct_release_grow; cp_direct_release_harvest; cp_direct_release_condition; cp_direct_release_grade; cp_direct_release_hold; cp_direct_release_dispatch; existing emission cards; supplier coverage; reference quantity | Node/substance/medium-specific raw and attributed amounts and unresolved gaps | | | `aggregate_internal_transfers` | cut_trees; prepared_trees; accepted_grades; held_trees; condition_tree_feed; grade_tree_feed; hold_tree_feed; dispatch_tree_feed; offspec_return | Record paired event-level fresh mass T in kg, activity, lot and state.

The four normal fresh-tree handoffs retain verified cut-tree identity ab8a7694-6ea2-4cce-b535-9358f74c1189; downgraded/rework material needs separate compatible identity confirmation, not role-based inheritance. Cancel each pair once within the aggregate boundary, never period stocks, losses, externally sold downgraded goods or actual external purchases. Rework adds only its actual new activity burden without duplicating carried burdens. | cp_harvest; cp_condition; cp_grade; cp_hold; cp_dispatch; transfer_id; paired records | unallocated measured transfer ledger and aggregate inventory without duplicate internal exchanges | | | `grow_land_specific_exchanges` | `grow` | Enumerate actual land occupation and each evidenced land transformation separately, with site, land class, from/to state, area and period. Occupation uses area-time; transformation uses area and separate from/to identities under the selected method. Instantiate one concrete elementary exchange per identity and unit; never add the two dimensions, infer transformation from planting, or assume zero land burden from wild origin. Retain the linked protocol and actual process attribution. Reconstruct each attributable raw numerator on its recorded stage basis, then normalize once to the matched accepted reference output. Missing identity, quantity, unit or destination blocks dataset completeness; absence requires evidence, not an assumed zero. | `cp_grow` | Separate atomic exchanges; completeness required | | ### Data Quality Requirements | requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | dq_identity | reference and all actual exchanges | Prove managed origin and actual fresh species/height-grade state; verify each final concrete UUID and support before dataset use. An umbrella is not a verified exchange. | Source/cohort records; physical descriptions; confirmation evidence | | dq_cohort | production history | Complete actual cultivation years, failed/replacement stocks and deferred harvests; estimated records require named method and uncertainty, not an invented standard lifetime. | Cohort/year/stock ledger with coverage gaps | | dq_mass | dispatch and transfers | Exclude package/support tare and rejects; paired actual count/mass when count-based records exist; preserve freshness/moisture changes and material losses. | Calibrated scale and buyer acceptance records | | dq_sites | contributing units | Enumerate every source block/site and handling yard; disclose represented output and omitted/uncovered shares. Keep incompatible species/grade/state populations separate. | Site-specific source quantities, weights and representativeness review | | dq_graph | optional nodes and returns | Retain actual event path, bypass state, return links and stock cut-off; unknown handling state or destination blocks finalization. | Event-linked transfer/return receipts | | dq_ranges | all screens | Replace provisional screens when empirical evidence exists; never use them as fallback amounts, limits, cut-offs or loss factors. | Foreground values and documented outlier investigation | | dq_environment | actual natural exchanges | Specify substance and medium, original basis and model evidence; no invented nutrient-loss, biogenic credit, water or evaporation quantities. | Measurement/model protocol and complete carbon/water terms | | `dq_range_units_evidence` | concrete exchanges in variable-unit cards | Establish any quantitative screen only after identifying its concrete exchange, reference property, explicit comparison unit and denominator, applicability, reviewed evidence and derivation. Preserve a unit conversion record that converts value and both bounds consistently; test the same physical quantity identically in equivalent units. Keep unresolved screens explicit and do not use them as amounts or completeness evidence. | linked collection protocols; property/unit and conversion records; compatible evidence and derivation; unresolved-screen register | | `dq_aggregate_transfers` | internal ledger of harvest_to_dispatch | Retain quantities, lot, fresh state and time for harvest→condition or grade, condition→grade, grade→hold or dispatch, hold→dispatch and actual rework. Normal fresh trees retain Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66, unit group 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66 and kg. The former 0–20 kg per 1 kg final reference is only a provisional non-enforcing reasoned_estimate investigation prompt, not an amount, yield or acceptance limit. A disaggregated unit-process model must restore full flow cards and verify compatible paired exchanges. | measured transfer/rework/stock records; compatible identity and validation of new disaggregated graph | ## 9. Validation Rules | rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | valid_reference | tree_dispatch | Reference link identifies the sole actual accepted dispatch product output and 1 kg net fresh mass; all qualifiers and actual support identities are declared and package/reject mass excluded. | | | valid_cohort | grow; harvest | Check complete cohort/year/failed/replacement and remaining-stock accounting; upstream nursery/material/energy/asset gaps remain disclosed and prevent unsupported zero estimates. | | | valid_path | all processes | Check actual optional-node bypasses, transfer input/output links, returns and handovers; same fresh product may reuse a compatible verified identity, but living stock/seedlings cannot inherit the cut-tree UUID. | | | valid_outputs | all outputs | Enumerate accepted grades, downgraded goods, bough goods, off-spec return, field residues and waste with real destination and attribution. Exclude unresolved rejects from reference mass. | | | valid_attribution | every shared ledger | Reconcile sites, periods, output sets, assets and handling campaigns; check cleaning/changeover events and no repeated full-burden allocation or unsupported substitution credits. | | | valid_units | all rows | Check actual paired count/mass conversion, one net dispatch denominator, fresh moisture/state and native substance/energy/service units; do not equate per-tree records directly to per-kg values. | | | valid_bindings | all actual exchanges | Final dataset exchanges require independently verified specific UUIDs/property/unit; unresolved candidate identities and heterogeneous umbrellas cannot be silently accepted or supplied from a screen. | | | valid_bilingual | all cards | Preserve EN/ZH process/direction/type/row ids, actual meaning, amounts/bases, bindings and Range metadata; regenerate the projection after canonical edits and inspect performed/skipped check coverage. | | | `validate_direct_release_coverage` | `grow`; `harvest`; `condition`; `grade`; `hold`; `dispatch` | For every activated node, reconcile its activity list against cp_direct_release_grow; cp_direct_release_harvest; cp_direct_release_condition; cp_direct_release_grade; cp_direct_release_hold; cp_direct_release_dispatch: each relevant event must have quantified concrete elementary exchanges, evidenced upstream-service coverage, or evidenced absence of the activity. Missing/unknown is not zero and blocks data-package completeness. Check each actual substance/medium amount, method/factor units, concrete UUID and existing-card/service coverage for omissions or duplication; empty groups, purchased-electricity upstream emissions or another node's single CO2 card do not replace this node's on-site reconciliation. Shared-asset services must not create duplicate physical release events. | | - Reconcile required/conditional activation and upstream coverage against incoming state at each node; purchased completed-state feed must not duplicate growth, harvest or preparation. Equal classification does not replace state and gate matching. ## 10.
