Auditing a farm: the expert's grid (house, bird, feed, water, health, data, staff)
When you walk into a farm, you first see what jumps out: a torn curtain, an empty feeder, a worker sitting down. And you leave with three remarks about what you saw, having missed the four problems that mattered. An audit is the opposite of an impression: a fixed grid, the same seven domains in the same order for every farm, a score per point, and a total you can compare from one visit to the next. This lesson gives you the expert's complete grid, the way to score, and a filled-in example on a real farm in the Agnibilékrou area, so that your next visit leaves a record and not a memory.
