Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
The minimum functionality of our product consists of the following components that make up an immutable, verifiable and coordinated disaster response tool on the blockchain:
- Provider (NGOs)/Recipient (gov't units) can access/login to our service to post an Offer/Need for disaster relief materials/funding
- a global "Google Earth" or "Maps" type overview showing disaster relief Needs (from Recipients) or Offers (from Providers) ongoing around the world
bold Functionality to immediately follow:
- Mutual Reputation/Rating mechanism between the recipient and provider that shows up after a Recipient's Need is matched by a Provider's Offer
- Mutual Reputation/Rating mechanism between on the ground disaster victims and Recipient (gov't unit) that facilitated the relief operations. This takes place immediately after a Recipient indicates (in our platform) to the Provider that the Need satisfied by the Offer has been delivered to the disaster victims. Reputation/Rating of the Recipient will take a hit if they don't report to the Provider at all. More on this as we progress, could implement a multi party verification mechanism for this.
Marketing Tests:
While the actual working prototype is still in development, we plan to start talking to some NGOs (aside from the main one we're currently working/consulting with) that we have immediate access to. We plan to send them a working UI that they can play around with and get their exact feedback via an initial website with a feedback (type) form. This should give us a better idea of their basic use case/needs. The value for them in helping to validate our design will be that they will have firsthand access to a disaster funding vehicle that gives them better visibility over where their funds go.
While that's progressing, we also need to get the government use case polished. We plan to approach local government units in the Philippines who are more "disaster aware". We will identify these LGUs as those in active preparation for earthquake drills and the like. The group will also tap our consultant NGO for LGU contacts they may work with. The value for them in helping to validate our design will be that they will have an easier time presenting data to Providers (NGOs) then they currently do, essentially making their jobs easier.
