Validation

Review of a project design against the standard’s data requirements, the declared parameters (ADR-0010) and the applied methodologies’ applicability conditions, before the project claims anything.

Verification

Review of the claims a monitoring period makes (service delivered, separation quality, diversion) against the validated project design, the monitoring plan and the submitted evidence.

This page explains the standard and does not decide conformance: only the released corpus does. It describes vvr/review-requirements.ttl at standard version 0.1.0-dev.
