Problem
Environmental and MRV documents can be difficult to interrogate reliably when answers need traceable evidence and numerical consistency.
Context
This independent prototype explores how evidence-grounded retrieval and deterministic checks can improve environmental question answering.
Approach
The system uses provenance-preserving document processing, parent-child chunking, retrieval, metadata filtering, source traceability and output verification.
My role
I independently designed, implemented, tested, documented and packaged the prototype.
Result
A reproducible prototype was tested across local and remote compute environments, with source traceability and deterministic verification integrated into the workflow.
Evidence
The public repository and evaluation summary will be added when the project is ready for release.
Potential applications
Forest-carbon MRV, environmental reporting, evidence review, policy-document analysis and research knowledge systems.
