Discover
AI-assisted research can surface candidate organizations, public pages, county resources, and gaps. Candidate leads are treated as drafts, not public facts.
Trust and verification
How resources get into KindMesh
KindMesh can use AI-assisted research to find public resources faster, but the public directory should stay source-linked, human-reviewed, and safety-aware. The goal is useful coverage without auto-publishing risky or unverified claims.
Extract
KindMesh turns official pages into structured fields: title, provider, URL, county, service area, cost, access mode, location visibility, safety flags, and last checked date.
Protect
Sensitive details are filtered before publishing. Protected shelter locations, client homes, hotline staffing gaps, private forms, and third-party medical or legal details do not belong in public listings.
Review
A human review step checks the source owner, currentness, public-safety labels, and whether the page gives a real next step.
Publish
Reviewed listings point back to official sources and keep correction/report links visible so the directory can improve without pretending to be perfect.
Source trust
What a reviewed listing should show
People should be able to tell where a listing came from, when it was checked, what kind of next step it offers, and whether location or safety details are intentionally limited.
- Official source URL
- Provider or organization name
- County, city, and service area
- Public-safe address or area-only label
- Last checked date
- Confidence and next-step type
- Sensitive-service and protected-location flags
- Report-update path
Reviewer workflow
How the admin queue should work before open submissions scale
New lead
A public source, user submission, counselor suggestion, search gap, or research lead is captured with source URL, county, category, and safety notes.
Source check
Reviewer confirms the owner or official source, current next step, last-reviewed date, and whether the listing belongs in support, readiness, volunteer, or guide content.
Safety check
Reviewer decides whether the item is public-address, area-only, or protected-location, and removes private client, survivor, youth, shelter, legal, or medical details.
Publish or hold
Ready items publish with official links and correction paths. Unclear items are held for more research, provider outreach, or exclusion.
Recheck
Updates, no-result signals, and user corrections feed the same queue so stale or missing coverage can be fixed without open posting.
Admin record
Minimum reviewer fields
KindMesh can stay static for now, but every candidate should still have enough structure for a future private reviewer dashboard or spreadsheet-backed queue.
- Queue status: candidate, needs source, needs safety review, ready, published, held, retired
- Reviewer initials or role
- Official source URL and archived notes where appropriate
- County, city, category, and intended audience
- Location visibility decision
- What changed since last review
- Next recheck date
What AI can do
Find likely resources, compare official pages, extract structured fields, suggest categories, catch missing counties, and flag possible safety issues for review.
What AI should not do
Auto-publish listings, invent availability, rank providers as best, expose protected locations, summarize private forms, or replace crisis, medical, legal, or clinical judgment.
How people help
Community members can suggest resources, report changes, share factual access notes, and identify gaps. Public notes should be dated, moderated, and non-identifying.
Suggest a resource or report an update
Send official URLs, practical corrections, safety notes, and county gaps. Do not send protected shelter locations, private home addresses, client details, medical records, legal facts about someone else, or nonpublic forms.
