Partnerships and funded development

Help turn the planned FactHarborDSS into a useful tool through practical cases and independent evaluation, or funding and engineering capacity. The FactHarbor association provides the non-profit setting; the existing FactHarbor application (Alpha) offers reports to learn from.

DSS implementation has not started. Stage 1 would assess factual claims with public web sources and save the evidence examined. Comparative evaluation follows separately; file-based decision support comes later.

Practical cooperation

For Stage 1, contribute precise factual claims, public sources, independent evidence judgments, or readers willing to assess whether reports are useful. No private file collection is needed.

A later pilot would test one recurring type of decision against agreed goals and constraints, using permitted files and representative cases. Its scope and intended use still need to be selected.

Evaluation should examine evidence gaps, justified conclusions, reader effort, time and cost. These are questions to test, not promised improvements.

Funded development

Funding and engineering capacity could support Stage 1 with agreed deliverables:

• Capture web evidence, preserve it for reassessment, and produce a minimal claim assessment.
• Check traceability and the reader's ability to inspect sources and reasoning.
• Report results, limitations and effort to inform the next decision.

Comparative assessment-quality evaluation and the later decision pilot need their own scope and resources. Successful development checks alone do not establish suitability for operational use.

This repository publishes how it would work, the principles, the pipeline and the architecture overview. We supply detailed requirements and acceptance criteria with each agreed piece of work.

Partner introductions, research collaboration, fundraising and clear public communication are also welcome.

Start a conversation

Describe the need, who would benefit, and the expertise or resources you could contribute. Use the contact routes, or open a public proposal following the contribution guide.

Scope, success criteria, budget, responsibilities, data use, publication and deployment are agreed for each piece of work before it starts. Keep private evidence and protected evaluation cases or answers out of public messages. Cooperation does not itself authorize processing, publication, deployment or external actions.

No funding target, partner commitment or delivery date is established. Repository-wide licensing and any future application release remain undecided.
