Project status & roadmap

An honest view of what this demonstration does today and what must be built and approved before any real participant data is collected. Demo features do not prove production security.

What you can try now — guided demo

About ten minutes. Everything uses synthetic personas; nothing is a real enrolment.

  1. Step 1

    Explore sample findings

    See how results would be reported, including declines and dropout.

    Start guided demo

  2. Step 2

    Choose a synthetic persona

    Open the Participant Portal and pick Persona A, B or C.

    Go

  3. Step 3

    Complete a questionnaire

    Answer the next wave. Try the eligibility check and validation.

    Go

  4. Step 4

    See the updated dashboard

    Your demo answers appear on that persona's dashboard only.

    Go

  5. Step 5

    Inspect the aggregate admin

    Totals only, groups under 10 hidden, no individual records.

    Go

  6. Step 6

    Review readiness

    Return here to see what is still required before real data.
