Agronomy Advisory Outcome Ledger for UK Soft-Fruit & Glasshouse Growers

An evaluator-side scorecard for UK horticultural operations directors who pay £20-80k/year for written agronomy advisory services (ADAS, NIAB, Berry Garden Advisory, independent consultants) covering disease pressure, spray programmes, irrigation prescriptions and varietal calls. The grower's ops team logs each consultant's weekly written recommendation — multi-clause, conditional, often heavily hedged — and AE grades each claim against the observable 1-4 week outcome from on-farm crop walks, scout reports, and harvest data. Over a season the ledger surfaces which consultant hedges into uselessness (Concession Laundering), buries always-triggering conditions (Epistemological Shielding), or recommends prophylactic interventions that never resolved a real risk (Cosmetic Confidence). At renewal the grower has a season-long, claim-level track record per consultant to renegotiate, switch, or drop. Advisories are prose with severable premises and conditional clauses — the exact linguistic shape AE's six-pattern autopsy taxonomy was built for — and outcomes resolve inside AE's weekly grading loop.

AE turns unauditable hedged agronomy prose into a season-long, claim-graded consultant scorecard — landing at renewal time with growers already squeezed by input costs.

Engine verdict: KILL (SKIP). Wrong buyer, wrong domain for AE's strengths, wrong distribution shape for an introverted solo founder — three independent failures.
