$3,000 left to reach the funding goal.
A case closed does not mean a problem solved. Residents often face recurring service failures after institutions mark their complaints resolved.
WeDecide proposes a free, openly licensed toolkit that helps residents and community organizations check whether problems stayed fixed and present clear evidence when further action is needed.
Our goal is to make resident verification practical without requiring communities to purchase software.
We will publish a plain-language guide, editable follow-up templates, a tracking spreadsheet and two worked examples covering housing repairs and sanitation.
The materials will distinguish verified resolution, recurrence and unknown outcomes, with guidance on consent and protecting personal information.
We propose completing the work within six weeks of receiving funding.
We will check that the toolkit can record a service problem, the institutional response, resident verification and any recurrence.
Completion will be demonstrated through publicly accessible materials, tested worked examples and an expenditure report. We will report usability limitations and revisions. Any later claims about service improvements will require observed evidence.
Our proposed $3,000 budget is:
Methodology and plain-language guide: $1,000.
Spreadsheet and editable templates: $800.
Accessibility and usability review: $700.
Editing and publication: $500.
At the $1,000 minimum, we will deliver a smaller package: the core guide, follow-up templates and one worked example.
Funding will support these freely available public resources.
Allegra Grunberg, WeDecide’s founder, brings experience on Capitol Hill, in the NYC Public Advocate’s Office and in technology entrepreneurship. She holds an MPA in Digital Technologies and Policy from UCL.
WeDecide has developed its outcome-verification approach, co-designed a prospective municipal-service pilot with Penplusbytes in Ghana, and been accepted into UCL’s Hatchery and the UN Urban Innovation Foundry.
This project translates that work into accessible community resources.
The main risks are overly complex materials, limited uptake and institutions failing to respond to documented problems.
We will reduce complexity through clear instructions, worked examples and usability review. If uptake is limited, we will publish what we produced, explain the shortcomings and identify improvements. The toolkit can support accountability but cannot guarantee institutional action.
WeDecide has raised $0 in the past 12 months and has received no grants or investment during that period.
