Identify registered cultivable land with no confirmed seasonal cultivation.
Validation required
Fictional default example · 2025.
What the selected record shows. 30 ha are known to be uncovered; 5 have unknown coverage. 65% are confirmed covered.
Next step. Investigate the known uncultivated area and its recorded reasons. Prepare coverage follow-up in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
Reasons, rights and actual field status need checking before support is selected.
100 × distinct covered eligible units / eligible frame. Known uncovered = frame − covered − unknown.
Count each eligible unit once for the selected service and period. Received messages, attendance, adoption and outcomes are separate measures.
Other required records: Registered paddy hectares; cultivated hectares; parcel ID; season; inactivity reason.
Calculation appendix
Find assistance records whose beneficiary and delivery periods overlap.
What the selected record shows. Overlapping days: 61 days. Review possible overlap.
Next step. Review possible overlap. Prepare overlap review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
An overlap flag does not prove duplicate entitlement or wrongdoing.
Compare the same permitted entity, purpose and qualifying unit. Intersect dated support intervals; overlapping support is a review flag, not proof of duplicate entitlement.
Other required records: Farmer ID; assistance programme; purpose; amount; season; approved entitlement.
Compare matching crop-water requirement and supply records.
What the selected record shows. Difference: -21,000 m³. Review the delivery shortfall and allocation constraints.
Next step. Review the delivery shortfall and allocation constraints. Prepare difference review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
A shortfall alone does not establish an authorised allocation.
Observed value minus Planned value. Relative change = 100 × difference / Planned value when the earlier value is positive.
Other required records: Tank command hectares; crop water demand; dependable supply; season; service boundary.
Identify open farmer-service cases that have passed their due date.
What the selected record shows. Open days past due: 29 days. Follow up overdue case.
Next step. Follow up overdue case; confirm the missing condition evidence. Prepare evidence request in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
Days overdue describe delay, not case severity.
Open age = assessment date − received date. Days past due = max(0, assessment date − recorded due date) for open cases. Show documented critical conditions separately.
Example due dates are not legal service standards. Do not alter statutory deadlines by silently subtracting pauses, or infer severity from age alone.
Other required records: Request ID; service type; receipt date; due date; pauses; responsible officer.
Compare original parcel and cultivator records before proposing a reconciliation.
What the selected record shows. The original record says “Parcel ID: primary register entry”; the comparison says “Parcel ID: conflicting source return”. Their matching meaning has not been established. Obtain the source definitions and supporting records before reconciling them.
Next step. Resolve source disagreement. Prepare source comparison in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
Keep both records until the identity and supporting rights evidence are checked.
Compare original definitions, identifiers, units and versions against documented equivalence evidence. Preserve conflicts and unresolved mappings; do not subtract category labels or silently merge records.
Other required records: Parcel ID; registered cultivator; tenure evidence; mapped hectares; field verification.
Identify cultivation-right objections still awaiting resolution.
What the selected record shows. 16 unresolved issue(s). 71.579% responded; response is not consent. Review the issue references and participation barriers.
Next step. Obtain the missing evidence listed below. Prepare evidence request in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
Participation figures do not determine cultivation rights.
100 × distinct respondents / invited people. Record unresolved issues individually; one respondent may raise several issues.
Response, attendance and silence are not consent. Participation does not transfer decision authority or settle rights.
Other required records: Case ID; claimant evidence; affected parcel; hearing records; objections; authority.
Check a paddy-conversion application before referring it for formal determination.
What the selected record shows. The required evidence is incomplete for this land conversion case. The items below identify what must be obtained or reconciled.
Application completeness is not conversion permission.
Check each required item and retain its reference. A documented item is not a scientific, legal or institutional approval.
Evidence completeness alone cannot establish suitability, eligibility, safety, permission or method validity.
Other required records: Parcel status; proposed use; application evidence; current rules; inspection findings.
Compare minor-tank repair choices using engineering evidence and resources.
What the selected record shows. There is not enough information to choose this option. Obtain the records and evidence about conditions listed below. The supplied budget less cost is 300,000 LKR.
Next step. Obtain the missing records before choosing. Prepare evidence request in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
Cost alone does not establish the safest or most effective repair.
Compare each alternative's stated benefit, adverse effects, domain evidence and mandatory constraints. Where cost and budget are supplied, budget balance = budget − option cost. A budget balance alone does not determine domain feasibility or select an option.
Other required records: Tank condition; command hectares; sediment survey; repair cost; demand; safeguards.
Identify missing registration and governance evidence for an organisation.
What the selected record shows. The required evidence is incomplete for this farmer organizations case. The items below identify what must be obtained or reconciled.
Document completeness is not a compliance certificate.
Other required records: Organization ID; registration; membership; meeting records; audit findings; current criteria.
Reconcile receipts, payments and the recorded closing fund balance.
What the selected record shows. Calculated closing funds are 164,000 LKR. The recorded closing observation is 163,500 LKR; recorded minus calculated is -500 LKR. Check the component records before explaining that difference.
Next step. Reconcile closing balance. Prepare balance review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
A residual is not proof of theft or a measured loss.
Opening + receipts/additions − payments/reductions − other documented adjustments. Compare with independently recorded closing. A negative cash scenario is a shortfall, not an invalid water volume.
Use the same physical boundary, period and units. A residual is a reconciliation issue, not automatically a measured loss.
Other required records: Opening cash; receipts; authorized expenditure; bank balance; supporting vouchers.
Check the evidence needed to verify a reported crop-damage case.
What the selected record shows. The required evidence is incomplete for this crop damage case. The items below identify what must be obtained or reconciled.
A claimed affected area is not a verified damage determination.
Other required records: Claim ID; affected hectares; crop stage; event date; inspection evidence; parcel ID.
Identify subsidy applications whose required evidence is ready for responsible review.
What the selected record shows. The required evidence is incomplete for this subsidy administration case. The items below identify what must be obtained or reconciled.
The page does not grant entitlement or approve a subsidy.
Other required records: Applicant ID; scheme version; parcel evidence; eligibility documents; prior assistance.
Compare usable input stock and delivery commitments with the distribution requirement.
What the selected record shows. Uncommitted usable stock: 310 kg input. Review replenishment gap.
Next step. Review replenishment gap. Prepare stock review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
Availability must match the item, season and delivery window.
Usable = physical−quarantined−expired (non-overlapping groups). Available = usable−commitments. Additional gap = max(0, new demand−available).
Stock must be compatible by item, lot, condition, expiry and delivery window. Do not allocate quarantined/expired stock or silently erase overcommitment.
Other required records: Approved demand; usable stock; committed stock; delivery date; input expiry.
Compare agrarian-centre workload with usable staff hours.
What the selected record shows. Usable capacity minus demand: -15 staff hours. Review capacity shortfall.
Next step. Review capacity shortfall. Prepare capacity review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
A capacity gap does not appoint staff or demonstrate the required skills.
Usable capacity = rated capacity − documented unavailable capacity. Surplus/shortfall = usable − matching demand.
Match peak/average basis, time window, skill, staffing, accessibility and other binding constraints. One aggregate capacity does not override a safety constraint.
Other required records: Open requests; handling time; available staff hours; service targets; travel requirements.
Check maintenance tasks against shared resources and prerequisite windows.
What the selected record shows. Planned duration: 3 days. Resolve overlapping resource bookings.
Next step. Resolve overlapping resource bookings. Prepare schedule review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
The draft schedule does not book staff or operate irrigation assets.
Check start/end order, operating window, effort, predecessor completion and overlapping bookings for the same resource. A conflict is flagged; no optimal schedule is invented.
Other required records: Canal reach; defects; work duration; cultivation calendar; labour availability; approvals.
Identify cultivation meetings with gaps in representation.
What the selected record shows. 30 cultivators are known to be uncovered; 5 have unknown coverage. 65% are confirmed covered.
Next step. Check the records behind the uncovered and unknown groups. Prepare coverage follow-up in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
Representation coverage does not establish consent.
Other required records: Eligible cultivators; attendance; participation category; meeting date; unresolved concerns.
Check reported overlap before referring an encroachment concern.
What the selected record shows. The supplied overlap is 18 ha within the 75 ha assessed footprint, or 24%. Check the cited boundary and source records before interpreting the overlap.
Next step. Check the matching footprint, source boundary and applicable conditions. Prepare overlap review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
A supplied overlap does not determine ownership or unlawful occupation.
100 × union of constraint overlap / proposal footprint. Count intersecting constraint areas once. The areas/counts are supplied records; this decision view does not calculate intersections, distances or locations.
Geometry preparation must use matching coordinate systems, dated boundary editions and valid spatial predicates. Overlap supports referral; it does not determine ownership, permission or site safety. A static reference image does not verify these supplied measurements or boundaries.
Other required records: Reservation boundary; observed activity geometry; map edition; inspection evidence.
Compare documented head-end and tail-end delivery in the same period.
What the selected record shows. Difference: -6,000 m³. Investigate the comparable head-end and tail-end delivery difference.
Next step. Investigate the comparable head-end and tail-end delivery difference. Prepare difference review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
Unequal volumes need comparable areas, needs and operating conditions.
Compare equivalent command areas, delivery windows and measurement methods. This is not a planned-versus-actual comparison.
Other required records: Outlet ID; position; delivered cubic metres; agreed allocation; service hectares.
Plan checks of outdated farmer and land records within available staff windows.
A schedule does not verify the records or send assignments.
Other required records: Record ID; last verification; reported change; officer capacity; review due date.
Compare cultivation changes in supported and comparison observations.
Verified published formula · Difference-in-differences arithmetic
What the selected record shows. Treatment change: 17; comparison change: 7; difference in changes: 10 %. This comparison alone does not establish causation or benefit.
The comparison alone does not establish that support caused the change.
(Treatment after−before) − (comparison after−before), using the same outcome definition and periods.
The arithmetic alone does not establish causation. Design, parallel trends, confounding, attrition, uncertainty and adverse effects need appropriate evidence.
Other required records: Supported plots; baseline cultivation; follow-up cultivation; comparable plots; weather.

The formula is verified. Causal interpretation still requires a defensible study design, comparison and assumptions.
Source. Sri Lanka publication.
Data needed. Season, reporting area, net extent harvested, matching average yield and reported production.
Method. Calculate production from net harvested hectares times the matching average yield in tonnes per hectare. Reconcile any unexplained difference with the return.
Worked example. A Yala return lists 24 ha harvested and 4.2 t/ha. The calculated production is 100.8 t. Check the area or yield if the return shows 100 t.
Next step. Return records with incompatible areas, units or unexplained differences to the reporting officer.
Department of Census and Statistics, Statistical Abstract agriculture chapter. Explanatory notes under Paddy yields and Paddy production.
Confirm the reporting boundary, net harvested extent and rounding rules.
Check which existing source fields can supply the decision inputs.
