Project-facing stewardship room

Make the whole place visible before the project makes a claim.

Stewardship is where the VLAS method, PRT capital tools, and the operating work of RDC meet a real project. Select a capital to see the models, evidence, and review questions that keep a project accountable to life.

Five capitals, one living ledger

Choose the capital where the conversation needs to become more precise.

Natural capital

Natural capital is the living baseline. The work is to increase a watershed's capacity to support life rather than merely reduce a project's damage.

Project prompt: What living systems must be measurably stronger because this project exists?

Five Capitals baseline

Open VLAS

Method

Establishes the whole-place accounting frame before a project chooses its interventions.

How it can be used in this project

Use it to name ecological thresholds, establish a baseline, and prevent financial gains from masking ecological drawdown.

Review question

Which ecological conditions are non-negotiable before capital can move?

Evidence to bring

Baseline observations, watershed and habitat conditions, and an agreed method for revisiting them.

Project review canvas

A stewardship model is useful only when it changes how a project is discussed.

Use this room before a commitment, at a gate, or when new information changes the place. The goal is not a single score; it is a reviewable record of what the project will protect, grow, and revisit.

Begin a nine-door project inquiry

1Name the place signal and the people already responsible for it.
2Choose the stewardship models that make the signal discussable.
3Record assumptions, evidence, tradeoffs, and the next review date.
4Return to the five-capital balance whenever the project changes.
