How we make recommendations.

No black box. The Community Guide is a small set of well-documented rules — written by humans, reviewed regularly, and run entirely on your device.

≈3 min · Quick reference

What happens when you generate a plan

You pick a situation, a project type, and up to three concerns. We match those answers against a published rule set — each rule contributes questions to ask, documents to request, organizations to contact, and red flags worth knowing.

The result is a single composed plan: deduplicated, ordered into a 24-hour / this-week / ongoing timeline, and stamped with a confidence note. Your answers stay on this device — they live in your browser until you choose to print, share, or clear them.

What we promise

We say so when a plan is general — no fake match scores, no manufactured confidence.
We tell you which decisions deserve an attorney, and point you at the right kind of attorney.
We keep your work on your device — no account, no tracker, no analytics service.
We show our reasoning so you can check our work before you act on it.

Anonymous improvement metrics

The feedback block at the bottom of generated plans is opt-in and lives on your device until you choose to send it. No automatic telemetry. We use only what you intentionally share, and only to make the guide clearer.

How often this is reviewed

The rule set has a last reviewed date in the source. Resources and glossary entries carry the same date. When a rule changes, we say what changed and why.
