Start-up requires people who can receive material, interpret readings, manage crop transitions, maintain hygiene and harvest to grade. Assign each operation and escalation to a named role. Practise power-loss, sensor-failure and delayed-delivery responses without putting people or the crop at risk.
Use an agreed ramp-up plan and keep operating records from the first load. Compare delivered compost, filled mass, development, harvest by grade, rejects, utility consumption, labour and buyer acceptance. Investigate discrepancies before adding further load. Project completion means a documented handover and demonstrated performance against the agreed scope; it is not established by a photograph of installed racks.
