Validation required
Fictional default example · 2025.
What the selected record shows. Supply minus demand: -300 m². Resolve specification, window or conditions.
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.
Area alone does not establish tenure, services, suitability or an allocation.
Compare the same specification and unit, uncommitted quantity and overlapping delivery windows. Keep mandatory quality and use conditions explicit.
A candidate match does not reserve stock, appoint a person, authorize waste reuse or form a contract. Matching text and area do not establish actual utility capacity, rights, environmental permission or a plot allocation.
Other required records: Plot ID; usable area; utilities; restrictions; applicant needs; lease status.
Calculation appendix
Compare estate utility demand with usable capacity for the same period.
What the selected record shows. Usable capacity minus demand: -15 m³/day. 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 identify a safe or cost-effective infrastructure solution.
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: Estate; power; water; roads; drainage; capacity; inspection; tenant needs.
Check technical-assistance cases through documented outcome stages.
What the selected record shows. Verified completion share: 53.333 %.
Next step. Check the original cases that have not reached a verified outcome. Prepare progress follow-up in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
A recorded outcome does not establish that assistance caused it.
100 × verified completed members / original unique cohort. Keep unknown follow-up separate; stages are nested, not independent populations.
Attendance, receipt, adoption, delivered service and outcomes are distinct stages. Repeated visits must not become new people. The original cohort and nested review/completion stages must match; an uncompleted record is not automatically overdue. Unknown follow-up is a subset, not an extra stage.
Other required records: Support cohort; training; technical adoption; production outcomes; follow-up dates.
Identify tenant-support requests past their recorded response 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.
Age alone does not establish operational urgency or a support entitlement.
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; estate; issue; receipt; due date; priority; assigned owner.
Compare modernisation cash flows under stated investment assumptions.
Verified published formula · Discounted cash-flow NPV
What the selected record shows. At the supplied 8% annual discount assumption, the five-year cash flows and residual value give 109,847.353 LKR net present value after the initial investment. The figure compares cash flows under these assumptions.
Next step. Review the cash flows, discount assumptions and constraints. Prepare cash-flow comparison in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
Net present value does not establish technical feasibility or environmental suitability.
NPV = −initial investment + sum of year1…5 net cash flows discounted at the stated annual rate, including residual value once in year5.
Match currency, price year, real/nominal basis and cash-flow timing. The example rate and five-year horizon are assumptions, not institutional financing terms; no credit approval follows.
Other required records: Current process; equipment options; capital cost; output; energy; maintenance; demand.
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations · Guidelines for defining financial economic environmental and social informationInstitution publication · Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, discounting and Net Present Value
The five-year horizon, discount rate and cash assumptions are local settings. Verification does not approve an investment or loan.
Compare energy use per matching product quantity.
What the selected record shows. Energy per product: 0.756 kWh/kg.
Next step. Check matching outputs, denominators and operating conditions. Prepare performance comparison in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.
A high ratio needs process, product and operating checks before choosing an improvement.
Energy/output; water/output; and 100 × output/material input. Separate denominators and units; do not sum these efficiencies.
Other required records: Saleable output; raw material; energy kWh; water cubic metres; process period.
Check product-quality observations against matching specifications and methods.
What the selected record shows. The supplied Product dimension under specification result is 10.4 mm. Its stated comparison range is 9.8 to 10.2 mm. Outside example comparison bounds.
A sample result does not establish the quality of every production batch.
Compare the measured value only with matching parameter, unit, use and averaging period. Retain limit source/version and censored-result status.
Example bounds establish no compliance or diagnosis. Ambient, drinking-water, effluent, crop, food, air and noise standards are not interchangeable. A censored result is not an exact zero. A measured product dimension must be greater than zero; an absent part or missing measurement is not a zero dimension.
Other required records: Product lot; test results; specification; defect reason; process; corrective history.
Check training dates, capacity and prerequisites against documented skills needs.
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 example does not assign trainees or establish acquired competence.
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: Enterprise needs; course topics; trainer capacity; facilities; participant availability.
Find missing records for a manufacturing-project referral.
What the selected record shows. The required evidence is incomplete for this new enterprise appraisal case. The items below identify what must be obtained or reconciled.
Checklist completeness does not grant a licence or establish viability.
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: Business plan; location; utilities; permits; costs; market evidence; eligibility.
Identify shared-infrastructure maintenance cases past their response date.
Age alone does not establish asset risk or engineering priority.
Other required records: Asset condition; service criticality; failures; inspection dates; repair alternatives; cost.
Reconcile estate charges, receipts and the matching closing 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.
An unexplained balance does not establish a legal debt or irregularity.
Closing receivables = opening receivables + new assessments − collections − supported reducing adjustments. Residual = independently recorded closing balance − calculated balance.
Use the same physical boundary, period and units. A residual is a reconciliation issue, not automatically a measured loss. This demonstration does not assess rent, authorize an adjustment or write off a debt.
Other required records: Lease; assessed rent; receipts; adjustments; arrears; due dates.
Find missing evidence for an industrial environmental referral.
What the selected record shows. The required evidence is incomplete for this pollution referrals case. The items below identify what must be obtained or reconciled.
The prototype does not determine pollution, liability or compliance.
Show the hazard, exposure and verified controls separately. No generic score, probability, diagnosis, site clearance or official warning is derived from a count.
Other required records: Facility; observed discharge; permits; inspection; exposed receptors; authority.
Compare shared-processing demand with usable facility hours.
What the selected record shows. Usable capacity minus demand: -15 facility hours. Review capacity shortfall.
Capacity does not establish product compatibility, quality or a booking.
Other required records: Enterprise demand; usable capacity; access; costs; operating constraints.
Compare product-development approaches using testing and market evidence.
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 product fitness or commercial demand.
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: Prototype evidence; market demand; technical readiness; testing costs; risks.
Identify technical-testing and consultancy cases past their response date.
Age does not establish the validity or urgency of a technical result.
Other required records: Request; test type; receipt; due date; equipment; specialist availability.
Compare available inputs or by-products with buyer quantities and specifications.
What the selected record shows. Supply minus demand: -300 kg. Resolve specification, window or conditions.
Matching quantities do not establish safe handling, lawful reuse or a contract.
A candidate match does not reserve stock, appoint a person, authorize waste reuse or form a contract. The material specification, contamination controls and lawful reuse conditions must be checked separately; no waste transfer is authorized.
Other required records: Material specification; quality; quantity; availability; permitted use; location.
Find missing evidence behind a reported industrial-safety concern.
What the selected record shows. The required evidence is incomplete for this worker safety case. The items below identify what must be obtained or reconciled.
A checklist does not establish a safe workplace or authorise an operation.
Other required records: Hazards; exposure; controls; incidents; inspections; applicable requirements.
Find missing site, utility and constraint evidence for estate-capacity appraisal.
What the selected record shows. The required evidence is incomplete for this estate expansion case. The items below identify what must be obtained or reconciled.
Complete records do not establish a suitable or permitted development site.
Other required records: Land constraints; utilities; transport; demand; costs; environmental approvals.
Find missing source and edition details for plots and facilities.
What the selected record shows. The required evidence is incomplete for this estate catalogue case. The items below identify what must be obtained or reconciled.
Metadata completeness does not establish current availability or legal rights.
Other required records: Plot ID; geometry; tenant status; utilities; last verification; custodian.
Compare supplied energy-productivity changes in supported and comparison enterprises.
Verified published formula · Difference-in-differences arithmetic
What the selected record shows. Treatment change: 0.25; comparison change: 0.05; difference in changes: 0.2 kg/kWh. This comparison alone does not establish causation or benefit.
A difference in changes does not establish a technical-assistance effect.
(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: Baseline productivity; follow-up; support type; comparison firms; external factors.

Data needed. Estate or site requested, applicant identity, land area, proposed activity, investment, utility requirements and project proposal.
Method. Check the project and site fields against the IDB land or building application and the current estate invitation, where applicable.
Worked example. An applicant requests factory land but leaves expected water and power needs blank. Ask for those particulars so IDB can assess whether the estate can support the project.
Next step. Request missing information or forward a complete application for estate and environmental review.
