PI Platform: Features and User Stories

People’s Intelligence (PI) is an “Alert” winner of Tech Challenge for Atrocity Prevention. PI automates the collection of relevant quality humanitarian information from hard to access areas and verifies it by means of crowdsourcing and “dumb” mobile phones.

Upon successful development and deployment, PI will empower victims and witnesses by providing them with actionable information that can save lives in return for quality data about their location, type of incident suffered, number of victims and source of knowledge. Partnering organisations will receive early warnings and will be better informed and equipped to decide where to allocate resources and coordinate their efforts.

This document is a summary of the results of a series of workshops conducted in October 2014 and in March 2015 to understand the needs of a number of humanitarian, human rights, peacebuilding and media actors and elicit their requirements for the PI Platform (PIP).
