What changed
at Loving Earth.
The operating system connects invoices, payroll, routes, customer records, grants, and hiring. These results come from Loving Earth Compost, where the system was built and put to work.
$33,456
Financial discrepancies identified.
Across fifteen months of invoices, payroll, reimbursements, and unbilled work. The findings include duplicate expenses and liabilities as well as revenue gaps; this is the value identified, not a claim that every dollar was new cash recovered.
+59.4%
The largest account, year over year.
June and July revenue after rebuilding the rates from the actual cost of the work. A documented pricing model replaced guesswork in the contract.
243,456 lbs
Food scraps diverted by the operation.
Across 184 service locations, November 1, 2025 through June 25, 2026. The team did the collecting and composting; the back office helped make that impact visible and reportable.

The scope behind these numbers
The August 31, 2026 Loving Earth OS proof package consolidates the finance, operations, and talent records. The $33,456 total counts each finding once; it includes a $15,415.67 duplicate payroll expense and a $13,013 invoice absent from the accounting records. The 59.4% figure compares June and July with the same months a year earlier. The diversion total comes from the service-location impact records. The grant award belongs to the sponsoring nonprofit and consortium; no award amount is claimed here.
