Record-completeness rate of planting records (percent)
Definition
Tree individuals named by planting records at a site whose record carries the full required field set (species from the register, planting position, planting date, photograph, and an observer in role on the record) divided by all tree individuals named by planting records at that site, as a percentage. An output about the quality of the field data, not about the trees.
purpose
To report the completeness of the planting records a project’s later claims rest on, per site and place, so that a gap in the data is visible before a survival rate is read from it.
rationale
The proposal commits to complete records of species, location and GPS per tree; auditing the records against the field set turns that commitment into a rate, and makes trees planted mean verified and geolocated.

- 2026 core indicator set: The fifteen indicators a 2026 project under the standard reports: the site preconditions and assessments, delivery and planting, education and care, and the survival family to T2. Every member is approved and served by an approved methodology whose records exist in the standard; the monthly and final reports are queries over approved claims at these indicators. Module indicators sit outside it.
