Accuracy workflow

Verification turns a resource list into a trust system.

FieldCompass is designed around the fact that incorrect public-resource information can waste time, money, battery, and energy for people already under pressure.

Verification goals

  • Show which records have been checked or updated.
  • Flag resources that need review.
  • Allow trusted people to update records with controlled permissions.
  • Make the system stronger over time instead of letting old information sit untouched.

Why lived experience matters

Verification is not just checking if a phone number exists. It is checking whether the information is usable: hours, intake rules, transit access, what to bring, what line to use, what to expect, and what could block someone from actually getting help.
