THE RULES WE HOLD OURSELVES TO

THE CHARTER

Prairie Canary helps people make better decisions during uncertain moments.

02 / OUR PROMISE

WE WILL ALWAYS PRIORITIZE

  1. 01

    Truth over speed

  2. 02

    Clarity over complexity

  3. 03

    People over engagement

  4. 04

    Trust over growth

  5. 05

    Community over algorithms

01 / WHY WE EXIST

SCAMS SPREAD BECAUSE INFORMATION MOVES TOO SLOWLY

Prairie Canary helps communities recognize patterns earlier, find trusted reporting routes, and warn others without exposing private details.

03 / OUR RESPONSIBILITY

TRUST DEPENDS ON CLEAR SEPARATION

  • We separate Signals, Community Warnings, and Official Alerts.
  • We review Signals before anything becomes public.
  • We keep private details out of public view.
  • We route urgent action to Official Help.
  • We do not replace emergency services or government agencies.

04 / OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

DESIGN IS A PUBLIC SERVICE

Every screen should reduce anxiety and help someone understand what to do next.

05 / OUR COMMUNITY

TRUST IS EARNED IN PUBLIC

Prairie Canary belongs to the communities it serves. We welcome feedback, correct mistakes openly, and expect our decisions to withstand public scrutiny.

06 / OUR FUTURE

A CIVIC RESOURCE FOR SHARED KNOWLEDGE

Prairie Canary is being built to help communities recognize fraud earlier, reach official agencies more easily, and protect one another through shared knowledge.
