You did. You will hear that I rarely use the term “measure”. I default to “estimate”. We are estimating the impacts of changes in practices, changes in soil treatment and management techniques, relative to a baseline, and there are uncertainties that are quite substantial associated with those estimates. However, if we're comparing trends over time, using techniques we know now, we can come up with a reliable enough credit quantification and issuance procedure to build a market in which there is confidence, as long as we are producing our estimates with uncertainty intervals. That's the big change. Getting a soil test result out of a lab with estimates that include uncertainties requires the labs to operate differently in the future from how they typically operate now, but we know how to do that. That's the first thing.
We can talk about it more if you'd like, but I also think it's not hard, once the private sector knows what the uncertainty intervals are, to construct financial rewards and contracts that reimburse the farmer or rancher initially, based on a conservative interpretation of the estimate, and supplement the payment to the farmer over time as uncertainty declines over time.
You can build incentives for investment in innovation and new technology into the crediting market from day one.
