Phase IV (Continuous Operations) isn't a "final" phase so much as an ongoing layer that runs underneath the other three from the point data collection starts: ```mermaid theme={null} flowchart LR A["Phase I

It also runs Monte Carlo simulations for revenue forecasting and a Shannon diversity index for biodiversity scoring, and ships with a "Revenue Multiplier Opportunity Map" across 10 dimensions to surface where a given farm's income could grow. Worth flagging for accuracy: the open-source repo's seed/demo dataset uses a fictitious "Kokonut Adelphi Demo Farm", purely to test the platform. ## Roles & Responsibilities ```mermaid theme={null} flowchart LR A["Proposal Drafted

Pairing them is what keeps the farm's cash flow alive during the wait. * **Don't let governance tokens double as your treasury's volatility risk.** Kokonut's stablecoin-tribute design is a direct response to this common DAO failure mode. * **Build the data schema before you need to compare two farms.** The Common Data Schema exists precisely so that a second farm's data is comparable to Adelphi's from day one, instead of requiring a retroactive cleanup. * **Don't claim infrastructure is "live" before it's deployed.** The docs are careful to separate what's live (Gnosis DAO, Celo attestations) from what's in development (the Ethereum-based Agentic Marketplace) β€” a discipline worth keeping in any external-facing version of this playbook.
