One problem. One path forward.
A phone-first civic navigator for residents of Compton, California. Describe a city problem in your own words — English, Español, Tagalog, or 中文 — and the app finds the one official next step: the right department, a verified phone number or form, a checklist of what to gather, and a ready-to-use call script.
It does not file the report for you. It does not talk to a city server. It does not use AI to guess a department.

| Live app | Languages | City routes | Routing | Data |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| compton-one.vercel.app | English · Español · Tagalog · 中文 | 22 verified Compton services | Keyword matching. No AI. | Stays on your phone |
Most Compton service requests still start with “who do I even call?”
13 of the 22 official routes have no online form. They are phone-only, during business hours. That is a real barrier if you work those hours, if English is not your first language, or if you are Deaf or hard of hearing.
COMPTON ONE is the missing front door:
- You describe what you saw.
- The app matches it to one of 22 catalogued city services.
- You leave with a Civic Action Receipt — official contact, evidence list, script, and a way to track what happens next.
Independent prototype. Not operated by the City of Compton.

Full captioned walkthrough: docs/USAGE.md.
Takes about one minute. No account. No download.
Go to compton-one.vercel.app. Pick English, Español, Tagalog, or 中文 in the header.
Tap Start a report. Type what happened the way you would tell a neighbor:
“Our trash was skipped and my mother cannot move the carts herself.”
Or tap a service tile on the landing page (pothole, graffiti, missed trash, streetlight, and 18 more).
You do not need to know the department name.
The receipt is the product. It shows:
- Which city division handles this
- The officially verified phone number, web form, or email — with the date it was last checked
- What to photograph or write down before you call
- A call script and a ready-to-send message
- One-tap open of your own mail app (the app never presses send)
- “Wrong number or dead link? Report it” if a contact has gone stale
Call, open the city form, or send the email yourself. COMPTON ONE prepares the action. The city still receives it from you.
If you want a reminder, tap Keep this case on this phone. Add the confirmation number the city gives you. Drop a follow-up on your calendar. Mark it resolved when it is done.
Nothing is saved until you opt in. Erase everything saved deletes it for real.
Every number and form was read from official City of Compton pages. Full source record: docs/SERVICE-CATALOG.md.

City main line if nothing matches: (310) 605-5500. Life-threatening emergency: 9-1-1. The app stops and says so.
There is no language model in the routing path.
- Common typos are repaired with a fixed list (
pot hole→ pothole,grafitti→ graffiti). - The engine scores your words against keyword tables for the 22 services.
- If that miss, a second phrase-group pass tries again or asks an either/or question.
- Emergencies (“fire”, “gun”, medical danger) hit a hard gate. The only next step is 9-1-1.
- If nothing matches, the app says this is outside what we handle and gives the city main line. It will not invent a department.
Chrome (buttons, labels, receipts) exists in four languages. Matching the typed description is strongest in English and Spanish. Tagalog and 中文 screens say that up front.
Deep dive: docs/HOW-IT-WORKS.md · docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.
COMPTON ONE never creates an account and never talks to a city server.
- No cookies, no login, no cloud database.
- If you tap Keep this case on this phone, the browser writes one local key (
c1fix.cases.v1) on that device only. - Session analytics are short fixed tokens in memory. Your description, address, and confirmation number cannot enter that log.
- Erase everything saved runs a real delete, not an empty list.
- Close the tab without saving and nothing is left behind.
Schema and integrity rules: docs/DATA.md.

The routing idea is portable. The Compton phone numbers are not.
Fork the repo, replace the catalog with 15–25 services from that city’s official pages, and keep the rules: no invented channels, no AI classifier, no “we submitted it for you.”
Step-by-step: docs/REPLICATE.md.
Shipped: four-language chrome, 22-route catalog, Civic Action Receipt, official send channels, channel-drift checker, local case tracking, privacy panel.
Still open:
- Tagalog / 中文 intake matching (chrome is translated; typed matching is still strongest in EN/ES)
- Offline / PWA shell
- Real SMS reminders (today they are labeled simulated)
