A regenerative claim is only as good as the data behind it. We track soil, water, plants, and biodiversity against a Year-0 baseline — and we show our work, method and date on every reading.
The Year-0 baseline, in full — the data room of the proof wing, kept rigorous and complete. While the baseline is still being finalized, any reading marked sample below is illustrative, labelled so you can tell it from the real thing; confirmed readings carry no such mark and stand in as we publish them. For the methods behind each reading, see How we measure.
Before we changed how this land is grazed, we recorded where each site started. That starting line is what every later reading is measured against: every season we measure again at the same spots, with the same methods, so any change we report is a change we can actually stand behind.
We measure four things. Soil health, starting with organic matter. The water cycle — how fast water soaks in instead of running off. The plant community — how many species share a small marked patch of pasture. And biodiversity we can read in the field, such as dung beetles and pollinators.
The baseline is a progressive program. Year 0 is what one operator can measure rigorously without a lab — organic matter by loss-on-ignition, infiltration timed with a single ring at three replicate points and reported as the median, species counts in a fixed 0.25 m² quadrat, dung-beetle checks under fresh pats. Later years add lab panels and advisor-run tests as the program grows. Every reading is logged with its site, date, and method, so a later comparison is like-for-like rather than flattering.
The baseline by area and site. Year 0 is a starting line, not a trend — a single season can't show improvement, and we won't claim one. As later seasons are recorded, year-over-year comparisons will appear here.
Recorded across soil, water, plants, and biodiversity.
Each measurement is tied to a named site.
The starting line; trends arrive as seasons accumulate.
Soil organic matter
4.2%
Sample value for layout. Year-0 baseline; lab-confirmed figures pending.
Water infiltration
6.5min / in
Sample value. Lower (faster) is generally better; tracked over time, not as a one-off claim.
Plant species richness
14species / quadrat
Sample value. Includes a documented patch of invasive wild chervil — tracked honestly.
Dung beetle presence
1indicator (present=1)
Sample value. First dung-beetle observation logged at the site.
Soil organic matter
3.8%
Sample value. The Front cluster is one of the ranch's infrastructure-project areas.
The same data in one table — metric, site, value, method, and date, so it can be read end to end.
