What we're learning from 48,200 farmers, 14 districts, and four pillars of digital infrastructure — published openly because audit-grade reporting starts with audit-grade methodology.
Featured insight · Q1 2026
Survival rate is the most-quoted, least-defined number in agroforestry reporting. We split it into three: overall survival (surviving / distributed), survey coverage (% of seedlings actually checked), and of-the-surveyed survival (the optimistic number).
The headline on every Nurseryz.io dashboard is overall — the conservative funder number. Coverage is surfaced as the qualifier. This paper explains why most "97% survival" claims in donor reports fail audit, and how our gates align with Gold Standard and Plan Vivo.

Methodology updates, district case studies, and what our data is teaching us.
Duplicate phones, duplicate national IDs, uncontacted >60 days, distribution outside the programme window, and suspicious concentration. The math, the false-positive rate, and how we tune it per programme.
WhatsApp is faster, smartphones are everywhere — except they aren't, not in the Lango villages we work with. A breakdown of feature-phone penetration vs. WhatsApp coverage by district.
A field-officer-led incident review. Drought triggered a survival cliff; SMS advisory wasn't enough; what we changed in the cohort to recover 8pts in the next month.
Uganda's Data Protection & Privacy Act is 6 years old and most agri platforms aren't aligned. Our checklist, our gaps, and what we ship to close them by the end of FY26.
Coverage, photo evidence, GPS. Each has a threshold; each has a verification path. What "pending" really means on our funder dashboard and how programmes move to "eligible".
An aside for the technically curious: our SVG-based heatmap renders inside dompdf-generated reports because Chart.js can't survive a PDF pipeline. What we lost, what we gained.
We publish one piece a month — methodology, field notes, or engineering. No marketing fluff. Funders, NGOs and researchers read it.
