Analysis

The SLM V1 soil enrichment project in Illinois (CAR-1981) presents a very thin evidence base: the PDD references the Soil Enrichment Protocol V1.1 and a 100-year permanence claim, but no additionality test, baseline method, leakage treatment, or VVB verification is documented. With only two source documents (one of unknown type) and low extraction confidence, the project's integrity and transparency cannot be substantiated from the available record.
