1.3. Strengthens agricultural policy effectiveness by automating anomaly-driven interventions, facilitating timely data correction and reporting accuracy for audits, subsidies, and public transparency.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automate alerts on null, incomplete, or outlier data values on import/update from farmer or regional inputs.
2.2. Automate notifications upon violation of pre-configured thresholds for yields, acreage, pesticide usage, funding applications, or livestock tallies.
2.3. Automate triggers on missed statutory data collection intervals or submission deadlines, alerting responsible parties.
