CivicSignal is not a finished product — it is a staged commitment to building civic infrastructure that earns trust over time. Beta-complete phases are marked explicitly; the current build focus is external beta operations, public audit clarity, and the first weekly signal report.
Verified-human polling on real-world events.
8/8 doneUsers answer real-world civic polls and build topic reputation. Each participant clears beta verification checks. Active vote splits are hidden publicly until cutoff, then resolved against a named source-of-truth.
Reputation-weighted evidence and review.
4/4 doneHigh-reputation users become eligible for topic-specific panels. Panel members can submit evidence on resolution edge cases and participate in dispute review.
Cross-jurisdiction polls and structured civic questions.
5/7 doneCommunities can create structured civic questions, debates, and resolutions. Region-aware question authoring with locale-specific resolution sources enables cross-border civic intelligence.
Reputation-gated platform governance.
1/5 doneVerified users and high-reputation panels help prioritize questions, audit resolutions, and govern platform rules. The platform transitions from operator-managed to community-governed.
Open APIs and public datasets for civic institutions.
0/5 doneOpen APIs and public datasets allow researchers, journalists, and civic institutions to use the signal. CivicSignal becomes civic infrastructure — not a product, but a public good.
"This roadmap is a public commitment, not a marketing timeline. Each phase ships only when the previous one has earned trust through real usage and public audit."
