The Core Mandate: People don’t lack care; they lack coordination and trust. Visita removes the friction that stops willing people from acting.
The Visita Core User Flow is built on a simple premise: “I see a problem → We fix it → Everyone sees it”

0. Entry (Light Onboarding)

How a user arrives without pressure.
  • Triggers: QR code, WhatsApp link, seeing a problem in real life, or a ward meeting invitation.
  • Philosophy: “You’re not joining a platform — you’re stepping into your place.”
  • Action: Light onboarding with just Name + Optional Photo + Skill Tags. No ideology, no party.

1. The Fork (Critical Choice)

The user chooses one path immediately. There is no guilt and no lock-in.

Report a Problem

The “Hole in the Ground”. Define a specific, actionable issue.

Help with a Task

Micro-commitment. “I can bring gloves” or “I have tools”.

Just Observe

No pressure. See what’s happening in your ward.

2. Reporting a Problem

The “Hole in the Ground” principle. A problem must be actionable.
  1. Pin: Map-based location (GPS or manual drop).
  2. Define: Structured prompts (What? Why? Urgent?). No ranting.
  3. Translate: System converts complaint to a task list (e.g., “Blocked drain” -> “Clear debris, Check damage”).

3. Community Activation

Silent but powerful coordination.
  • Local Visibility: Problem becomes visible to neighbors and skill-matched residents.
  • Micro-commitments: Users click “I can help” (Time, Skill, Resource).
  • No Virality: Only proximity relevance. No algorithmic amplification of outrage.

4. Trust & Coordination Layer

The Task Room opens. This is a focused action space, not a forum.
  • Features: Task checklist, Who’s doing what, Time/date agreed.
  • Chat: Task-bound, time-limited, archived after completion.
  • Rule: No endless debate. Action over opinion.

5. Offline Action

The real work happens offline. Visita supports it, not replaces it.
  • People meet.
  • Work is done.
  • Photos/videos taken during action.

6. Proof, Closure & Reputation

Trust is built through verification.
  1. Completion: Before/after media uploaded. Task marked “Completed”.
  2. Validation: Neighbors confirm the fix. Phase out “likes” in favor of verification.
  3. Reputation: Contribution record updates (Tasks completed, Reliability score).

7. Meaningful Identity

Reputation that actually means something.
  • Non-gamified: No streaks or dopamine loops.
  • Deeply meaningful: “That person who always shows up.”
  • Stats: Roles played (Fixer, Watcher), Reliability Score.

8. Escalation Path

When local action isn’t enough (Institutional Escalation).
  • Auto-generated report: With evidence and community backing.
  • Recipient: Municipality / NGO / Business.
  • Result: Pressure without chaos. Clear proof and public timeline.

9. Memory & Momentum

Building the Ward’s Institutional Memory.
  • Solved Problems: A record of what has been fixed.
  • Contributors: A history of who served.
  • Psychology: New residents see “Things actually happen here.”

Critical Design Principles

PrinciplevsAnti-Pattern
Action>Opinion
Local>Viral
Proof>Promises
Small Wins>Grand Plans
Belonging>Ideology
This flow quietly rebuilds trust without preaching, filters talkers from doers, and restores dignity at the ground level.
