Verification Report
Verification Report — SAR Multi-Crop Acreage Estimator
Strictness: IRS_AUDITOR | Proof status: PROOF_INCOMPLETE (synthetic benchmark only; official dataset is a disclosed seam)
Checks: PASS 12 / 12 (100%) | Evaluated on: synthetic | Generated: 2026-06-25T21:37:36.385Z
Disclosed seams & limitations
- DISCLOSED_SEAM: Official competition dataset (X-band SAR tiles, village boundaries, labels) is NOT present in this workspace; no official leaderboard MSE was produced.
- DISCLOSED_SEAM: Raster -> zonal-statistics (Stage A) is documented (run-deploy-instructions.md) but NOT executed here; it requires a geospatial stack (GDAL/rasterio/SNAP/GEE).
- SIMULATED: All reported metrics use a synthetic, physically-motivated Kharif benchmark (src/synth.mjs), not field observations.
- Official evaluation path present but inactive (no data/official/ inputs this run).
What is verified
One verification structure runs against two possible benchmarks. The synthetic Kharif benchmark always runs (so the suite passes anywhere). If the official competition data is dropped into data/official/, the identical evaluation checks also run on it via out-of-fold cross-validation (an unbiased leaderboard-aligned MSE estimate, since the test labels are hidden), and a real data/official/submission.csv is produced.

Official benchmark
_Not present in this run._ Drop data/official/zonal.csv (long-format zonal statistics) and data/official/train-labels.csv (ID,Rice_ha,…) to evaluate on real data with the identical checks above.
