How the full system works
From a public record to community-published knowledge
JusticeHub starts with the national record already held about a place. Communities work privately to define outcomes, connect evidence and decide what they stand behind. Only an authorised owner publishes that edition back into the public system.
One continuous record
Seven steps from discovery to governed publication
The public page and the private dashboard are two surfaces of the same system. Each step keeps its source, access level and decision authority visible.
Public
Anyone
Find a community
Start with the national map, directory or search. The curated registry identifies the place, its lead organisation, public sources and known gaps.
Browse communities →Public
Anyone
Read the public baseline
Open one community record. Registry facts, sourced figures, funding context and research remain clearly labelled. This baseline can exist before a community claims or publishes an edition.
Open the Cowra record →Protected
Community member or authorised support
Enter the community workspace
A signed-in community team works behind the public page. Membership allows people to prepare the record. It does not, by itself, grant community publication authority.
Open the Cowra workspace →Protected
Community workspace
Define local outcomes
The community names the change it wants in its own language, adds its interpretation and may optionally map it to a shared domain. The local wording remains primary.
Open local outcomes →Protected
Community workspace
Add what is known
A yarn, observation or report begins as a private, resumable draft. It keeps its source, method, context, audience and purpose. Saving never makes it public.
Open guided evidence entry →Community authority
Owner publication decision
Review and publish an edition
Source checking, steward review and community approval stay separate. Only a community owner with verified site-specific authority can publish or withdraw the immutable edition.
Open review and publish →Public learning
Anyone reads, community retains authority
Return to the public record
The active community-published edition appears above the sourced baseline. National discovery may use approved shared-domain mappings only when the edition explicitly allows shared learning.

What changes after publication
The baseline stays. Community authority is added visibly.
Before a community edition
Public-source baseline
- Registry identity, location and lead-organisation context.
- Sourced figures, evaluations, funding and known gaps.
- Clearly labelled as a public record, not community approval.
After owner publication
Community-published edition plus baseline
- Local outcome wording and interpretation remain primary.
- Edition, publication date, purpose and authority are visible.
- Withdrawal removes the public edition while retaining audit history.
Claiming a page does not transfer ownership of every public fact, and organisational membership does not automatically grant publication authority. The sourced baseline and community edition remain distinct, traceable layers.
Choose your path
Start with what you are here to do
I am part of a community team
Open the existing public record first, then enter the protected workspace to define outcomes, add evidence and prepare a community decision.
I can strengthen a public record
Suggest a source, correction or local context through the governed intake. The suggestion goes to a private review queue and cannot publish or create story consent.
I am reading across communities
Use the impact record and methodology together. Follow the original source, evidence class, validation state and community sign-off instead of reading one blended score.
What lives where
One page can connect the systems without copying ownership
JusticeHub brings the relevant layers into view. Each source keeps control of the data and decision it is responsible for.
| System | What it holds | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| JusticeHub public record | Curated registry facts, public source links, sourced figures, evaluations and funding context. | A public baseline is not labelled community-approved. Missing facts stay visible. |
| JR community workspace | Private local outcomes, evidence drafts, relevance links, review decisions and publication snapshots. | Drafts stay protected. A save, source check or admin action cannot publish them. |
| Empathy Ledger | Story identity, content, consent, attribution and cultural permission. | JusticeHub keeps only the relationship and local relevance, then checks live permission before display. |
| ALMA research evidence | Research records, evidence references and optional outcome suggestions. | Research can inform local work. It cannot approve a community outcome or publish a community edition. |
| Public contribution intake | A private contact submission containing a suggested source, correction or context. | It is an intake queue only. It never becomes a metric, story consent or public content automatically. |
The publication boundary
Support can prepare the record. Only community authority can publish it.
Editors and platform administrators may help prepare drafts or check sources. They cannot impersonate community approval. Publication and withdrawal require a current, verified authority for that specific site.
