v21.0: External Validation Plan

Status: Parked behind v22 Gate 0 / Gate 1 evidence Priority: Subordinate to v22.0 non-duplicate-value proof

Purpose

This plan tracks public-interest validation work that should happen only after CareConnect has enough real pilot evidence to support it. It is not a personal strategy document.

Ground Rules

  1. Public claims must lag evidence.
  2. Real pilot outcomes are more valuable than presentation polish.
  3. Governance, safety, accessibility, and data integrity outrank feature breadth.
  4. External validation should be factual, consented, and proportionate.
  5. Do not imply official endorsement or clinical deployment unless formally true.

Parked Backlog

Gate-Supporting Work

  • Close named pilot-scope evidence gaps.
  • Run bounded verification cycles for pilot-relevant services.
  • Resolve pilot-scope data completeness issues that affect real workflows.

Early Pilot Evidence

  • Run a small, scoped pilot in one referral workflow.
  • Validate crisis-safety behavior with appropriate reviewers.
  • Conduct structured usability sessions with relevant community or professional users.
  • Document the CareConnect-to-211 boundary and handoff model.
  • Begin provider-confirmed verification outreach where governance permits.

Public Accountability Artifacts

  • Publish a verification/freshness transparency summary.
  • Publish a pilot scorecard only when non-null values exist.
  • Summarize accessibility findings and fixes.
  • Summarize privacy/AI safety review outcomes without exposing private notes.
  • Publish case studies or presentations only when grounded in real evidence.

Current Rule

While v22 remains decision-gated, do not pull forward external-validation packaging work unless it directly improves pilot readiness, safety, or evidence discipline.
