Data & accountability

Resident need, reliability pressure, and how we report

One dashboard for donors, municipalities, and block partners: demand signals from our survey aggregate alongside reporting cadence as pilots carry real traffic.

Survey evidence

Where connectivity stress shows up

Impact bars count how often households cited each stressor—respondents could select more than one, so categories are not mutually exclusive.

Refreshed when we publish a new aggregate; pilot telemetry adds tiles without changing the stewardship story on Transparency.

Daily-life impact (multi-select)

Mentions across surveyed households.

When pilot installs generate ticket volume, refreshed cuts appear here with narrative learnings on Updates. Until then, treat this as a planning mirror aligned with Transparency commitments.

Quarterly cadence

What we report each quarter

One packet so residents are not chasing fragments across PDFs and inboxes—uptime, incidents, installs, Navigator outcomes, and stewardship disclosures in a single rhythm.

1
Network uptime & MTTR

Availability windows and mean time to restore after verified outages.

2
Incident taxonomy

Tagged root causes—power, upstream, radio, relay, CPE—so fixes stick.

3
Installs & coverage

Homes passed, activations, and neighborhood rollout milestones.

4
Navigator outcomes

Training completions, tier‑1 resolution, and resident satisfaction.

5
Partner satisfaction

Host sites, municipalities, and anchor institutions on cadence.

6
Stewardship disclosures

Subsidy use, reserves posture, and narrative cross-links to Transparency.

Pilot telemetry

Operations targets

Placeholders swap to audited pilot numbers the moment telemetry and ticketing hooks stabilize—same layout, verified values.
