Methodology
Trust starts with how the evidence is framed.
ALCUB3 Impact explains how its public-facing signals are labeled, estimated, and communicated. The goal is simple: help people understand what is measured, what is inferred, and where caution still matters.
Evidence Tiers
Every result should tell you what kind of claim you are looking at.
MeasuredObserved data
Direct records from public systems, sensors, or validated sources.
EstimatedKnown but approximate
Useful approximations based on published coefficients or reported infrastructure metrics.
ModeledInference layer
Predictions and risk indicators produced by a model, with uncertainty and coverage caveats.
RoadmapNot available yet
Promising directions that inform future work, but are not presented as current public truth.
Current Summary
What ALCUB3 Impact is prepared to stand behind right now.
- Water Health Score is a composite product surface, not a diagnostic replacement for lab testing.
- PFAS is treated as a risk indicator, not a definitive tap-water claim.
- AI water footprint is estimated and should be read with scope and infrastructure caveats.
- Observatory signals summarize broader analysis and monitoring work, not proof that every modeled variable is directly measured.
