PUBLIC PREVIEW · UPDATED SEPTEMBER 28, 2026
Compliance and launch status
This page records product launch gates. It is a control document, not a legal opinion or certification. “Blocked” means the feature must remain unavailable until its listed requirements are documented and approved by the responsible professional.
Current launch gates
| Feature | Status | Required control |
|---|---|---|
| Investor and map demonstration | Allowed with limits | Use only source-backed demo data and accurate prototype language. Do not accept investments, promise returns, claim legal approval, or call the map a safety rating. |
| Paid subscriptions or checkout | Blocked | Requires the operating entity, merchant account, final price and tax treatment, refund and cancellation terms, express recurring-payment consent, receipts, support workflow, and counsel approval. |
| Property listings | Blocked | Requires listing rights, ownership or authority evidence, moderation and appeals, fair-housing review, media licenses, privacy controls, security testing, and state real-estate review. |
| Real-estate commissions and referrals | Blocked | Requires written counsel approval for RESPA, state licensing, advertising, compensation, and disclosure rules. Payment may not buy a recommendation or non-neutral ranking. |
| Identity, face, biometric, or wallet verification | Blocked | Requires a contracted provider, data-impact assessment, jurisdiction review, purpose and retention notice, legally sufficient consent, deletion process, security controls, and an accessible alternative. |
| SMS, automated calls, or marketing email | Blocked | Requires channel-specific consent records, approved message purpose, sender identification, opt-out and suppression handling, quiet-hours and do-not-call controls, and vendor agreements. |
| Personalized housing ads or rankings | Blocked | Requires Fair Housing review, testing for protected-class and proxy effects, neutral delivery controls, paid-placement disclosure, monitoring, and a correction or appeal channel. |
| Public user reviews | Blocked | Requires authenticity, incentive disclosure, moderation, notice-and-appeal, defamation and privacy procedures, and FTC review-rule controls. |
| Nationwide public-data expansion | Blocked by source | Each source needs documented commercial-use, attribution, caching, update, deletion, and redistribution rights before its data can appear. |
| Production public launch | Blocked | Requires all applicable gates below, final attorney signoff for each launch jurisdiction, accessibility testing, security and privacy readiness, and an incident-response owner. |
Controls required before production
- Company and contracts: legal entity, address, agent, governing law, insurance, vendor agreements, intellectual-property ownership, and final customer terms.
- Privacy and security: data inventory, purpose and minimization, retention schedule, deletion and access requests, processor contracts, encryption, access logs, backups, vulnerability response, incident response, and state-law review.
- Housing and advertising: Fair Housing testing, neutral ad delivery, no protected-class steering, substantiated claims, paid-placement labels, and no paid effect on evidence or organic relevance.
- Accessibility: keyboard and screen-reader operation, text alternatives for maps, contrast, zoom, form errors, captions and transcripts, and a documented manual audit.
- Money and communications: payment, tax, refund, recurring-consent, cancellation, RESPA, licensing, SMS, calling, email, suppression-list, and complaint procedures.
- Data and content rights: written permission or a documented license for every feed, tile service, listing, photograph, video, logo, badge, review, social post, and redistributed data field.
Current demo boundary
The preview may show its Columbus source-backed map and proposed product flows. It does not collect payments, publish user listings, verify identity or wallets, send marketing messages, accept investment, or issue neighborhood safety ratings. City facility locations are resource locations and do not establish safety. Census rent-burden bands describe affordability statistics only.
