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.- Pin: Map-based location (GPS or manual drop).
- Define: Structured prompts (What? Why? Urgent?). No ranting.
- 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.- Completion: Before/after media uploaded. Task marked “Completed”.
- Validation: Neighbors confirm the fix. Phase out “likes” in favor of verification.
- 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.”
