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
- Public claims must lag evidence.
- Real pilot outcomes are more valuable than presentation polish.
- Governance, safety, accessibility, and data integrity outrank feature breadth.
- External validation should be factual, consented, and proportionate.
- 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.
