Reusable project cockpit · staging

Project / facility cockpit

One screen for identity, maturity, water, power, money, evidence, exceptions, calculations and unresolved questions. Dashboard values never outrank their evidence state.

STAGING UNKNOWN PRESERVED

If a field is not supported by the incoming evidence context, the cockpit leaves it UNKNOWN.

Each step is independently evidence-graded. A confirmed location does not establish pumping; a permit does not establish actual use; requested megawatts do not establish energized load.

Evidence instruments

What do we actually know?

Identity
UNKNOWN Project/operator identity is displayed only when supplied by the selected record or resolved registry context.
Water
UNKNOWN Physical source, authorization, withdrawal, return/reuse and net consumption remain separate propositions.
Power
UNKNOWN Requested, studied, contracted, constructed, energized and measured load remain separate.
Money
UNKNOWN Incentives, infrastructure commitments, agreement ceilings and realized actuals are not interchangeable.
Audit the selected record without changing its evidence state.OPEN EVIDENCE RECEIPT →
Dual-state variable doctrine

Keep the model useful. Keep chasing the fact.

DIRECT EVIDENCE and ANALYTICAL INPUT are separate states.

If a site-specific variable is unresolved, NRW may display a qualified MODELED* value or range only after comparator, formula, uncertainty and sensitivity gates pass. The underlying direct-evidence task remains open.

MODELED* never means “done.” When stronger evidence arrives, the avionics supersedes the estimate, recalculates dependent outputs and preserves the prior receipt.

Open questions & records watch

What documentation is missing?

Instrument awaiting a linked open-record ID.
When a project value depends on missing evidence, this panel links the UNKNOWN to the exact acquisition target rather than hiding the gap.
Exceptions & unresolved evidence

Operator-style alarm panel

Evidence exception
Use this panel when a reported quantity lacks a primary source, when authoritative records disagree, or when the system boundary is unclear.
UNKNOWN remains the direct-evidence state when the fact is not established.
A separately labeled MODELED* analytical input can exist only if estimator gates pass. If they do not, the analytical state also remains UNKNOWN.
