12-Month Program, 90-Day Pilot Phase
A 12-month program with an initial 90-day pilot phase designed to test adoption, verification quality, and response coordination for waste and drainage issues. We measure what matters and share learnings openly.

What We're Testing
Pilot Scope
This pilot focuses on proving the core hypothesis: community verification can create trusted environmental data that enables coordinated response.
Target Communities
Selected communities in Nigeria (finalizing with NGO partners). Urban and peri-urban focus.
Verification Model
2-person verification threshold with anti-self-verification rules and duplicate detection.
Success Definition
Verified issues receive documented response attempts. Resolution outcomes measured with partners.
Issue Categories
Illegal dumping, refuse accumulation, market waste affecting community health.
Blocked drains, flood-prone areas, water pooling creating safety hazards.
Phase 2 will expand to urban heat, water quality, and air/smoke issues.

What We Measure
Success Metrics
Targets, not achievements. We're transparent about what we're testing and what we're learning.
Verified Reports
50+/week
Reports achieving community verification
Time to Verified
<24h
Median time from report to verification
Response Initiation
<72h
Verified issues receiving response attempt
Resolution Rate
Partner-dependent
Tracked but not guaranteed—depends on partner capacity and issue type
These are targets for the pilot, not claims of current performance. We'll share actual results transparently.
Transparency
Risks & Mitigations
We're honest about challenges. Here's how we're addressing known risks.
False or misleading reports could undermine trust in the data.
2-person verification threshold, deduplication, anti-self-verification rules, and photo evidence requirements.
Privacy concerns could limit community participation.
EXIF stripping, minimal data collection, no device fingerprinting, and anonymous reporting option.
Low adoption could limit data volume and verification quality.
Partner-led community onboarding, local champions, mobile-first UX, and no app download required.
