Sites with a verbal agreement (count)
Provisional. The item may be used under NCGS pending full approval.
Definition
The number of registered sites whose agreement status is agreed verbally: the landowner, site manager or owner agreed by word only, as the observer noted, with nothing signed or recorded. Counted apart from signed agreements, and never added to them (ADR-0030). Provisional while the standard gathers how designs use verbal agreement.
purpose
To show how much of the portfolio rests on a verbal agreement, beside the count of signed ones, so a funder sees the difference.
rationale
Some households and community sites agree by word; counting them separately keeps the signed count to what a document, a signature or a recording supports.
