# Stewardship: what accountability includes

Equipment alone is a purchase. Stewardship is the part where someone stays responsible for the water and proves it in writing.

## What it includes

- **The service visits.** Scheduled maintenance, seasonal transitions, and winterization. It's powered equipment near water, and handling it is our job. Your side of the maintenance rounds to nothing, by design.
- **The sensors.** Calibration checks at every visit, because every claim we make rests on the readings. The protocol is public at [how we measure](https://alchemal.com/technology/how-we-measure/).
- **The reporting.** Plain-language reports against your measured baseline, written to be forwarded to a board, a committee, or the family group chat exactly as we send them.
- **The accountability.** If a curve isn't moving, you hear it from us first, with what we think is happening and what we're changing. That conversation is part of the service.

## What success looks like

Success looks like less intervention over time. A chemical calendar compounds, while a restored pond needs progressively less from everyone. Stewardship costs are transparent in the written plan, and the measurements show whether the relationship is earning its keep.

A specialist reads your description and replies in writing: what it usually means and what we would measure first.
