Build: A Relational Map for Your Block

Build a small, private-first tool for the first question of organizing: who are my people?

It holds a card per neighbor you've actually talked with: their name, what you learned they care about (their words, not categories), gifts they mentioned, the date of your last real conversation, and the next commitment either of you made. It surfaces two lists: follow-ups due (nothing older than two weeks for your active five) and 'haven't met yet' — the doors, porches, and third places on your block where you haven't had a first conversation.

Constraints that keep it relational: it tracks conversations you've had, not data you've scraped — every entry is something a neighbor told you face to face. Cap the active-relationship list at five (the handbook's part-time ratio) so the tool pushes depth, not collection. Include a gentle export so the map can be handed to a co-organizer when a team forms — with each neighbor's knowledge.

Stretch: let two organizers merge maps when they launch a team, and mark which conversations were recruitment, maintenance, or escalation 1:1s.

• guardrails: consent-first: only what neighbors told you directly, private by default, depth over collection: active list capped at five
• practice kind: prompt
