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 Intelligence combines multiple risk families before any composite product surface is shown.
- PFAS and contamination indicators are treated as risk signals, not definitive tap-water claims.
- Public water data can be stale, incomplete, or jurisdiction-specific; every claim needs a source and a timestamp.
- Observatory signals summarize public imagery and model-assisted analysis, not proof that every modeled variable is directly measured.
