The Act Zero survey kit (Nov 2, 2026) — one walk through the house that grades what we have. This reading copy lives inside the app so it works offline.

ACT ZERO — THE STAGED SURVEY KIT

Project: CLOSE THE GAP · Workstream W0
Goal: Doomsday survival tech (goal_732163d70399)
Staged: 2026-11-02
Status: STAGED — NOT WALKED
Surveyor: Chris, with household facts from Mircy where a location or applicability line needs both adults
Estimated owner time: 90–130 minutes, ESTIMATED — most likely around 110 minutes for a full pantry count. This is the walk-and-report time only; Muse’s grading time is not owner time.


HOW THIS WALK WORKS — READ THIS FIRST

What you are doing

You are taking one slow pass through the house and telling Muse what is actually there: how many, where, what date is printed on it, and what you could not count. That is all. You are not organizing, cleaning, buying, testing equipment, or fixing any gap during the walk.

The survey follows the Fallout Protocol Checklist’s Act Zero, AZ-1 through AZ-14. Its output is not a shopping list yet. Its output is a dated inventory with three kinds of lines:

The one rule that matters most

STOP RULE — Anything unknown stays UNKNOWN. Do not estimate on the walk.

That means:

If you get tired, stop. Tell Muse which stop you reached. The rest remains NOT WALKED, not failed and not zero. You can resume later; the survey will carry both dates.

What to have in your hand

How to report each stop

Send one message per stop if you can. That prevents one giant message and lets Muse grade as you go. Copy this shape:

STOP [#] — [name]
Date/time started:

COUNTED:
- [item] — [quantity] — [location] — [expiry / capacity / date printed, if any]

PHOTOS SENT:
- [what the photo shows: shelf front / container label / nutrition label / battery size]

COULD NOT COUNT OR READ:
- [item or line] — UNKNOWN — [reason: not found / could not reach / label unreadable / did not open]

OWNER-VERIFIED ABSENT:
- [item] — only list this if you are actually sure the house does not have it

END OF STOP [#]

Short fragments are fine. Muse will ask only about a line that changes the grade; otherwise the line stays as reported.

Photo rules

Photographs are for shelves, containers, product fronts, nutrition labels, battery sizes, capacities, and expiry dates.

Do not photograph:

For documents and medications, report categories, counts, dates, and Y/N states only, as the stops below specify.

What Muse does with each report

For every stop, Muse returns a short grading receipt:

  1. lines accepted as OWNER-REPORTED with the survey date;
  2. lines left UNKNOWN and why;
  3. Checklist sections touched;
  4. running days of cover where the arithmetic is valid: - water: counted gallons ÷ 3; - household food: counted kcal ÷ ~5,400; - a specific supply: units on hand ÷ units used per day;
  5. any double-count warning — for example, Rin-familiar food counted once in the pantry and cross-referenced, not counted again, in her section.

At the end, Muse fills the grading table at the back of this kit and prints the household tier as UNVERIFIED if any essential line remains unknown.


THE ONE-PASS ROUTE

Walk in this order. If the Pavilion/Myth corner is inside a bedroom, office, or garage, grade it when you are already in that room and do not backtrack.

STOP 0 — START POINT + HOUSEHOLD FACTS

Checklist mapping: AZ-1 · AZ-11 · §§6, 10, 11
Where: wherever the household would gather for a storm plan. Do not walk the house yet.

Report these facts

Do not do at this stop


STOP 1 — KITCHEN + PANTRY

Checklist mapping: AZ-2 · AZ-3 · AZ-13 · §1 Water · §2 Food · §3 Sanitation starter items if stored here · §12B Rin-familiar foods
This is the longest stop. Work shelf by shelf, left to right, and do not reorganize as you go.

1A — Drinking water in the kitchen/pantry

For each separate group of containers, report:

Photograph: one shelf/front photo per group and one close label photo showing capacity/date if the text is small.

Grading note for Muse: counted gallons = full-container printed capacity only. Opened-but-visibly-full containers may be counted at printed capacity only if the owner states they are full; partials contribute UNKNOWN gallons, not an estimate.

1B — Water treatment and off-grid boiling, if stored here

Count or report UNKNOWN for each:

Photograph: filter package front and any printed contaminant class; fuel canister label.

1C — Household food

Group identical items together. For each group, report:

Photograph the nutrition label for every distinct item where kcal are not obvious from a prior identical label in the same stop. Muse needs:

Muse calculates kcal/package = kcal per serving × servings per package, then multiplies by the unopened package count. If the label cannot be photographed or read, mark that item’s kcal UNKNOWN.

Also count:

1D — Rin-familiar foods — count here, cross-reference at Stop 4

Make a separate pile/list in your report — do not move the food — for the shelf-stable foods her parents state she reliably eats:

Do not count this food a second time at Stop 4. Stop 4 records the cross-reference and the parents’ applicability word; the kcal live here, once.

1E — Anything medical or first-aid stored in the kitchen

If the household keeps first-aid or medication supplies here instead of a bathroom, report them under Stop 2’s privacy rules and note “counted at Stop 1” so they are not double-counted.


STOP 2 — BATHROOMS + SANITATION / MEDICAL STORAGE

Checklist mapping: AZ-4 · AZ-11 · AZ-13 · §3 Sanitation · §7 Medical continuity · §12D Rin supply classes if stored here
Privacy stop. Counts and windows only. No medication names in chat. No label photographs.

2A — Daily medications — private-count method

Use codes. Do not send drug names, doses, conditions, or label photos.

For each daily medication container group, report only:

MED A — [# containers] — [days on hand: # or UNKNOWN] —
next refill date/window: [date/window or UNKNOWN] —
90-day supply asked of prescriber/pharmacy: [Y / N / UNKNOWN]

Repeat as MED B, MED C, and so on.

2B — First aid

Count what is present by class, not by brand story:

2C — Sanitation and hygiene stock

Count:

2D — The bathtub as the non-drinking tier

Do not fill anything. Report only:

The tub is a later hygiene/flushing source in the field-guide pattern. It is not counted as drinking water in this survey.

2E — Rin supply classes stored in bathrooms

Her parents state applicability. Muse does not assume any class applies.

For each class her parents name as applicable, report:

For a class her parents state does not apply, write N/A — parents’ word. If applicability is not stated, write UNKNOWN, never N/A.


STOP 3 — BEDROOMS, CLOSETS + MAIN SHELTER ROOM

Checklist mapping: AZ-6 · AZ-8 · AZ-9 · AZ-10 · §5 Light · §6 Heat/cooling · §9 Documents · §10 Communications
Include the room named as the most-interior shelter room at Stop 0, even if it is not a bedroom.

3A — Light where people sleep and shelter

Count:

A flashlight that does not switch on is counted as present — NOT WORKING, not as a working light.

3B — Communications kept in bedrooms/living areas

Count or report UNKNOWN:

3C — Documents container

Report categories and states only. Do not open sealed envelopes for the walk and do not photograph contents.

3D — Cash posture — owner-held number

No photograph of cash, ever.

3E — Heat/cooling facts in the living space


STOP 4 — RIN’S SPACES

Checklist mapping: AZ-12 · AZ-13 · §2 Food cross-reference · §4 Power for her communication · §12 Rin — standalone
Parents’ word governs every line. No photographs of Rin. No photograph of her communication board or personal content. Her apps’ data is not part of this survey.

4A — Communication — never a single point of failure

Report states and locations only:

Do not photograph the board. Existence, currency, copies, and location are the survey facts.

4B — Familiar foods — cross-reference only

The packages and kcal were counted once at Stop 1D.

4C — Comfort and familiar activity

No photograph is needed. A photo of the comfort item alone is allowed only if the owner chooses to send one; it is never required.

4D — Her supply classes — applicability by her parents’ word

For every supply class already counted at Stop 2E, cross-reference the count. Then add any class stored in her spaces:

Mark non-applicable classes N/A — parents’ word only where her parents actually say so here or at Stop 2E. Everything unstated stays UNKNOWN.

4E — What this stop never does


STOP 5 — GARAGE, UTILITY + BULK STORAGE

Checklist mapping: AZ-2 overflow · AZ-5 · AZ-6 overflow · AZ-11 · §1 Water overflow · §3 Sanitation staging · §4 Power · §5 Light overflow · §11 Vehicle/fuel support
Safety: do not start any engine or generator inside the garage. Do not move a heavy container to read its far side; mark the unread fact UNKNOWN.

5A — Bulk water

Repeat Stop 1A’s exact method for every water group stored here:

5B — Generator and fuel — existence before details

First line, answer exactly one:

If PRESENT, report without starting it:

5C — Carbon-monoxide and electrical safety facts

5D — Power storage and batteries in bulk

Count:

5E — Sanitation and shelter staging in the garage


STOP 6 — PAVILION / MYTH CORNER

Checklist mapping: AZ-5 · §4 Power · §10 Communications/information
Skip a room return if this corner was already graded inside Stop 3 or Stop 5. Report only — unplug nothing, reboot nothing, log into nothing.

Count and report

Privacy: no passwords, keys, tokens, IP inventories, or account screens are survey data. Do not photograph a logged-in screen.


STOP 7 — VEHICLES + FINAL GAP SWEEP

Checklist mapping: AZ-7 · AZ-13 · AZ-14 · §6 Cooling destinations/fuel · §11 Vehicles & fuel
Do this stop last, in daylight if the walk ran long. Report each vehicle separately.

7A — Per vehicle

VEHICLE: [owner’s plain name for it]
Fuel gauge reads: [fraction as displayed, or gallons/litres only if the vehicle itself displays it]
Road-ready by owner’s word: [Y / N / UNKNOWN — reason in plain words if N]
Water container in vehicle: [count · capacity · full/empty/UNKNOWN]
Jumper cables / jump pack: [Y / N / UNKNOWN]
Spare tyre + jack present: [Y / N / UNKNOWN]
Phone charger in vehicle: [Y / N]

7B — Consumption rates (AZ-13) — collect what the household actually knows

Answer each line with a number or UNKNOWN. A known guess is still a guess; if it is not tracked from use, it is UNKNOWN.

7C — The GAP sweep (AZ-14) — say the quiet lines out loud

Read this list and answer each in one word or a short phrase:

Then send the closing line:

ACT ZERO WALK COMPLETE — [date] — stops walked: [#–#] —
stops not walked: [list or NONE]

If the walk ends early, send instead:

ACT ZERO WALK PAUSED — [date/time] — last stop completed: [#] —
remaining stops stay NOT WALKED.

GRADING TABLE — SHELL (filled by Muse from the owner’s reports)

Grading basis printed with the result: underlying counts are OWNER-REPORTED, survey date ______. Days of cover are Muse’s arithmetic on those counts: water = counted gal ÷ 3 · food = counted kcal ÷ ~5,400 · a specific = units on hand ÷ units per day (rate source printed per line). A tier is claimed only when every essential section reaches it; any essential UNKNOWN prints the household tier as UNVERIFIED.

# Section Tier target (from the Checklist) Owner-reported actual Days of cover GAP
1 Water T1 9 gal · T2 21 gal · T3 90 gal or 42 gal + rehearsed resupply/boil · T4 resupply system
2 Food T1 ~16,200 kcal · T2 ~37,800 kcal · T3 ~162,000 kcal · T4 staples depth + rotation
3 Sanitation T1 bags/wipes/soap · T2 non-flush kit assembled · T3 30-day depth + routine
4 Power No universal gallon-style target: protected loads named · backup tested · T3 bridging fuel/rotation
5 Light Flashlight/lantern per adult + shelter room · T3 battery stock for 30 days where burn rate known
6 Heat / cooling Two cooling destinations where possible · Day-3 >90 °F decision point written
7 Medical continuity Minimum 7 days per daily medication · aim 14 · T3 ~30 · first aid counted
8 Cash T1 some small bills · T2 owner-sized one-week float (total owner-held)
9 Documents T1 IDs/insurance/medication list together · T2 + contact card + plan, one waterproof place · T3 second set + full print set
10 Communications Working receiver tested · contact card printed · T2 out-of-area contact + paper map

12 Rin — standalone Familiar foods 3/7/30 days on her own line · communication never single-point · applicable supply classes in days · comfort item located

Household tier (printed only from the filled table): __________
Blocking UNKNOWN lines: __________
Survey dates: __________
Counts graded: OWNER-REPORTED · Arithmetic: Muse, formulas printed above · Tier claim rule: complete essential sections only, otherwise UNVERIFIED.


End of kit. The kit is staged; the survey has not been walked. Nothing in this document asserts that any counted item exists in the house.
