For sustainability directors

What happens after you sign.

Honest cadence for the first 6 weeks. About 2 hours per week of one staffer's time. No engineering work from your team. No IT integration. Public launch at week 4-6 + Civic Intelligence data within 2 weeks of public launch.

Week by week

The 6-week standard cadence.

Week 1

Kickoff + data collection

Kickoff meeting (60 min). Operator collects existing county disposal guidance (URLs to .gov pages, PDFs, existing rules). Tenant provisioned in the platform. Operator and recycling coordinator schedule a Week 2 catalog-review session.

Week 2-3

Catalog import + per-rule review

Our team imports your existing disposal guidance into your tenant. Your coordinator reviews each rule, its source, and its last-verified date. We don't publish anything to residents until a meaningful baseline (typically 50–150 rules and 5–25 facilities) is reviewed and approved by your team. Your team sees the full catalog in your admin portal before residents ever see it.

Week 4-6

Public launch + early outreach

Resident-facing /check goes live for the county's ZIPs. QR flyers seeded at libraries, community centers, and county events. The Civic Intelligence dashboard starts producing data within 2 weeks of public launch — first demand patterns visible, first confusion hotspots tagged, first knowledge-gap candidates triaged.

Week 8-12

Pilot maturation

Civic Impact Framework metrics maturing (Verified > Estimated > Directional > Needs more data). Knowledge-gap inbox routinely closing 5-10 gaps per week. Recommendation engine queue running. Operator and county discuss formal contract scope based on actual pilot data.

What we ask

  • · ~2 hours/week of one staffer's time during the first month
  • · A point-of-contact who can confirm 5-10 published rules per week
  • · Permission to cite your already-public rules with attribution
  • · Honest feedback when residents tell you something we got wrong

What we don't

  • · Email your residents (no resident-list export from your systems)
  • · Replace your social media, county brand, or resident relationships
  • · Require IT integration, data warehouse access, or ETL setup
  • · Lock you into multi-year contracts during pilot
What you'll have at end of pilot

Evidence you can take to your commissioner.

  • A populated county catalog of disposal rules, facilities, take-back programs, and community programs
  • A Civic Intelligence dashboard with 8-12 weeks of demand data
  • A Civic Impact Framework summary with Verified / Estimated / Directional metrics
  • A monthly Board Pack PDF with the pilot's outcomes
  • A grant-summary PDF ready to attach to a SWIFR, MPCA, or NACo application
  • A knowledge-gap closure log showing the platform learned from real resident questions
  • A list of recommendations the engine surfaced and how the county acted on them

We share a written pilot evidence plan with your team at kickoff so everyone knows what we're measuring and how.
