Not estimates.
Evidence.

Every data point carries a provenance tag — source, resolution, and time of last validation. No interpolated guesses presented as fact.

Data Sources

Seven verified
input layers.

FieldMind ingests from seven distinct data sources. Each source is independently validated, temporally aligned, and tagged with resolution metadata before entering the processing pipeline.

Validation

How we
validate.

No model output is served to users without passing through a multi-stage validation pipeline. Every forecast is backtested, confidence-banded, and monitored for drift.

Historical Backtest
All yield forecasts validated against 3-year historical actuals per crop type and microclimate zone before model deployment. Models must achieve R² ≥ 0.82 against holdout sets to enter production.
Confidence Bands
Every forecast output includes upper and lower confidence bounds derived from ensemble model disagreement. Bands widen automatically when input data quality degrades or sensor coverage drops below thresholds.
Drift Monitoring
Weekly comparison of predicted vs. observed values at the field level. When prediction error exceeds ±8% of the rolling mean, the model is automatically flagged for recalibration and affected outputs are marked with reduced confidence.
Source Provenance
Every data point displayed in FieldMind carries a provenance tag showing its source sensor, spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and time of last validation. No interpolated or estimated values are presented without explicit labeling.
Cross-Validation Protocol
Multi-source data is cross-referenced before ingestion. Satellite-derived soil moisture must correlate within ±12% of ground-truth sensor readings to be included in model training. Discrepancies trigger automatic exclusion and manual review flagging.
