Serra Verde 400 kV Interconnector

Assessment by Altus Ecologia · eu_eia · version: Every planted problem is present and can be found within a single document.

Synthetic test data — fictional geography. Never merge into a real assessment.

How did the review perform?

problems caught

problems missed

false alarms

Caught 100% of the planted problems (recall), and 100% of what we flagged was real (precision).

One honest caveat. We also flag a structural condition present in every version of these documents, so it isn't part of the planted set:

Commitments T-02 are named but carry no budget, indicator or responsible party in the register.

We show it rather than hide it.

critical

Transboundary screening not undertaken

A reasonably foreseeable third-party scheme sharing the same receptor is absent from the cumulative-impact scope.

Rule: A nearby project ignored · Where: corridor_description.md

major

Avian survey covers only part of the migration cycle

Survey effort covers only part of the required frame; the rest of the cycle is unquantified.

Rule: Someone left out of the survey · Where: collision_risk.md

major present in all versions

Bird flight diverters specified without monitoring or owner

Commitments T-02 are named but carry no budget, indicator or responsible party in the register.
