PUBLIC RECEIPT
A PROPOSED COMMUNITY ASSURANCE FRAMEWORK
A Public Receipt makes commitments visible.

A commitment is difficult to trust when its meaning, measurement and follow-through are unclear.
Public Receipt is designed to make the basis for a commitment legible. It enhances public oversight and trust. It helps communities, agencies, and project teams inspect what is proposed, how it is measured, and what is reality.
HOW PR WORKS
A visible path from proposal to reporting.
01
Define commitments
State what is proposed and the basis for it.
02
Establish baseline
Set a relevant context, measurement plan and reporting design.
03
Assess evidence
Independently review published evidence and applicability.
04
Publish findings
Format consumable by enforcement agencies with retained source data
COMMUNITY COMMITMENTS
Daytime noise
Method and receptor context
Nighttime noise
Separate period and history
Light
Spill, glare and changes
Water use
Source and seasonal context
Energy use
Demand and supply claims
Generator run time
Starts, hours and events
Water effluent & quality
Destination and lab evidence
Traffic
Routes, hours and effects
Trust is demonstrated by controls that people can inspect.
Public Receipt’s proposed model publishes methods, makes funding and conflicts visible, does not give funders approval over findings, and retains uncertainty and correction history. This is an operating model in development, not an accreditation or government endorsement.
Published methods
• Transparent funding
• Correction history
