§ How it works in practice

A project in rrl is a piece of land and the people who will live on it: the parcels, the ecological baseline, the land-use zones, the regeneration plan, the houses, the water, energy and wastewater systems, and the evidence behind each of them. How much land a project needs follows from the number of permanent residents and a reference area per resident, set in a versioned RuleSet with a floor and a ceiling. Having enough land is not the same as regenerating it, so rrl judges three things separately: responsibility for the land, responsibility for its regeneration, and the footprint of the settlement.

The baseline records the land as it is, in eight dimensions: soil, water, erosion, vegetation, biodiversity, habitat connectivity, threats and fire resilience. They are never added up into one score. Soil health is read with ten SOCLA indicators, each scored from one to five on the FAO TAPE scale. Regeneration is followed from the baseline through the years after it; targets are kept apart from observations, and whoever carries out a measure need not be the one who verifies it. Each piece of evidence is stored under its SHA-256 hash.

Example

A baseline records soil and water before work starts. Later observations can be read alongside it.

§ What you can rely on

rrl never marks as compliant what only an authority, an engineer or an expert can decide. Those rules stay at “requires authority check” or “engineering required”, and an authority check never turns into a pass on its own.

§ Reference

rrl is not a permit and not a certificate. Every rule returns one of six states: pass, fail, incomplete, not applicable, requires authority check, engineering required. A revision is judged against the RuleSet it was pinned to, not quietly against a newer one. The first RuleSet is written for Portugal and marked as not an official legal standard. Houses can come from any provider; the first one connected is the BMV configurator, in which a resident designs the house in 3D. rrl produces the whole project as one document, and its audit trail is hash-chained, so it can be exported and checked outside the app.
