Why a living place needs its own way of answering, and how three cheap data streams become seven readings and one verdict.

Data model, the seven readings with their exact rules, the verdict, confidence and maturity, the API, and what is specified but not yet built.

Sound recorders, soil probes and LoRaWAN gateways available today, with prices, where to buy in Europe, and the three standard kits.

Register a place, watch the satellite readings arrive, add a recorder and a probe, deliver the data. Step by step, with the exact commands.

Height, orientation, spacing, schedule and maintenance for each kit, so that recordings from different places are comparable.

Depth, position, backfill and marking for moisture and temperature probes, and the LoRaWAN join.

How detections, acoustic indices and soil readings get into the oracle: direct API, The Things Stack webhook, BirdNET-Pi, AudioMoth cards, BirdWeather.

Who does what in a life-oracle network: steward, installer, verifier, consumer, methodologist, operator, and software agents.

Endpoints, authentication, and examples for reading verdicts and delivering data. Machine-readable spec at /api/v1/openapi.json.

Exactly what the oracle does with Sentinel-2 for each place, which free sources it uses, and the gotchas it handles.

Repository layout, how to run the stack, how to propose a method change, and the house rules.
