GeoLime

Start by establishing which licensed distribution and version the project uses. The public PyPI geolime==1.4.0 wheel contains a license-contact message and no modelling API. pip install geolime alone does not establish an executable model environment. This skill provides a preparation and review workflow; its licensed modelling operations have not been executed in the repository's public tests.

Environment and API

Inspect project lock files, installed distribution metadata, local vendor docs and existing code before proposing imports. Use the vendor-provided environment or wheel only when the user already has access. Record its version and hash in the project; keep license files and credentials out of reports and source control. Do not invent class names from an unrelated release's examples.

If the functional package is unavailable, complete format/geometry QC and a reviewable model specification. State that execution remains unavailable. For an open-source implementation, assess GemPy or geostatistics tools against the actual required outputs; they are not drop-in GeoLime replacements.

Data and model contract

• Keep collar, survey and interval tables linked by stable drillhole identifiers.

Verify from/to depths, overlaps, gaps, units and survey-angle conventions.

• Establish CRS, elevation datum, downhole versus vertical depth and survey

desurveying method. Retain missing assays and detection limits distinctly.

• Record compositing, domain boundaries, density assumptions and block dimensions

before estimating grades, volumes or tonnage. Point samples and block support are not interchangeable.

• Keep original assay values and transformation/back-transformation settings.

Validate grade estimates with spatially separated drillholes and domain-aware residuals; random sample splits can leak adjacent intervals.

Validation and deliverables

Run the installed vendor's smallest documented example first, then validate a simple project-owned geometry with an independent volume calculation. Check block ordering and IDs in exports, domain coverage, mass/volume units and sensitivity to mesh/compositing choices. Label unrun code and unavailable methods explicitly.

Preserve the model specification, QC tables, executed API/version evidence and the distinction between calculated and assumed resources. Consult the vendor documentation and public placeholder source.
