East Tennessee two-site farm business plan (package)

First-class entry for the decision-grade business plan: ~5-acre home base and ~120-acre production in East Tennessee, ~35-minute separation, family labor, phased enterprises, telemetry as capital, 10-year horizon. Detailed rubric, knowns/unknowns, and full tables live in the planning framework; this page is the stable navigation spine for readers and agents.

What changed — integration pass (2026-04)

This revision does not replace the package or reading order. It binds newer canonical doctrine and county/site intelligence into chapter pages so the narrative matches execution reality: local evidence + missing-data discipline, off-grid/WAN-optional sequencing, sensor architecture + checklist matrix, platform/backup/DR + observability trust bar, procedural standards routing, and clearer confidence boundaries (desk evidence vs parcel truth). Durable ledger: Business plan integration revision audit (2026-04).

Operational bar: The package is not “live” until Ready for execution passes—see Hostile internal review §7.

Canonical detail hub: East Tennessee two-site farm business plan — planning framework

Topic operations hub (telemetry, runbooks, comparisons): Two-site smart farm operations

Execution & pilots router (Phase 0–1 dossier, validation—without replacing this TOC): Business plan execution and pilot operations hub

Phase timeline (visual): East Tennessee two-site farm business plan — phase timeline

Modeled sites & systems (entities) — planning roles, not your deed: Five-acre home base (SITE_HOME), 120-acre production farm (SITE_FARM), Field telemetry network — two-site. Business shell (TN + federal compliance, not legal advice): Tennessee farm business compliance package · entity pattern router Farm business legal entity model. Page ownership (avoid analysis sprawl): Structural audit — page ownership, entity gaps, and hub routing.

Authority & execution evidence (regulatory / agency / extension — not parcel-specific facts): Authoritative execution evidence cluster — East Tennessee. Gap audit (what is still missing for execution-grade clarity): Execution readiness gap audit — East Tennessee operational knowledge. Evidence hardening audit (2026-04 desk portals + routing; open gaps): Tennessee two-site — evidence hardening audit (2026-04). Vocabulary (canonical vs supporting vs exploratory): Evidence grade and canonical authority. Operator contract (ingest activation, Evidence summaries, structural vs integration validation): AGENTS.md.

Site intelligence (named anchors): Router (county vs place vs validation vs gaps): Local site and county intelligence. Analyses: Claxton home base — Anderson County (SITE_HOME), Demory farm — Campbell County (SITE_FARM), Anderson vs Campbell — operating implications. Parcel worksheets (structured fields; evidence-backed only): Parcel intelligence package — East Tennessee two-site. Local field evidence (measured vs reported; execution tables): Local evidence package — East Tennessee two-site — site/infrastructure/utility/loads baselines, field observation templates, parcel evidence workflow. Folded into canonical chapters (2026-04-22): two-site operating model, recommended enterprise strategy, capital plan, revenue model, risk register, validation/pilot plan, execution dossier (90d/12m/24m), spatial model, labor model, smart-tech strategy—no duplicate package pages.
