1.4. Enable historical trending, anomaly detection, and alerts for abnormal resource usage patterns.
1.5. Facilitate forecasting for budgeting and sustainability assessments.
Trigger Conditions
2.2. Periodic batch uploads from farm management systems (daily, weekly).
2.3. Significant deviation from resource usage baseline detected.
2.4. Scheduled report generation (end-of-day/season).
2.5. Manual data entry by field personnel.
