Boundary
Public documentation and fictional practice now; separately reviewed youth operational boundary in future.
Goal
Explore Support Options and Choose a Safe Next Step while maintaining choice, purpose limitation and accountable human review.
Value
Cancel pending replies and clear temporary conversation.
Trigger
Select a support option.
Scope
The stated participant task only; no unrelated records, new authority or automatic operational activation.
Assumptions
  • Covenant House validates program fit, ownership and relevant policies.
  • Required provider, staffing and data-quality evidence is established before operation.
Supporting Actors
  • Youth program owner
  • Young person
  • Governance and safeguarding reviewer
Preconditions
  • Anonymous public discovery; explicit entry for temporary practice. No account creation.
  • Current voluntary consent for the selected goal; private reflections excluded.
  • Required organizational and human approval for operational behavior; absent in this public specification.
  • Operational services, recovery readiness and separately approved testing remain dependencies.
Alternatives
  • Id
    UC-ANON-002-ALT-01
    At
    3
    Condition
    The participant chooses a different suitable option.
    Path
    Return to inspect communication limitations, check scope and consent again, and document the revised purpose; do not duplicate evidence.
  • Id
    UC-ANON-002-ALT-02
    At
    6
    Condition
    An eligible alternative channel or resource is reviewed.
    Path
    Reassess the youth provider and required human approval; continue only with minimum authorized information. Public exploration may continue without an account.
Exceptions
  • Id
    UC-ANON-002-EX-01
    Condition
    Authorization denied, expired or revoked.
    Response
    Stop the restricted step and provide no record readback; review access through qualified authority, never public self-selection.
  • Id
    UC-ANON-002-EX-02
    Condition
    Missing information, conflicting evidence or unavailable service.
    Response
    Hold the relevant state for human review. Do not fabricate capacity, receipt, attendance, outcomes or successful submission.
  • Id
    UC-ANON-002-EX-03
    Condition
    Consent withdrawn or a safeguarding issue raised.
    Response
    Stop optional disclosure; qualified humans apply the reviewed lawful safeguarding policy. The prototype sends no escalation.
Postconditions
Success
Cancel pending replies and clear temporary conversation.
Failure
No unauthorized disclosure, authority grant or claimed fulfillment; public practice remains temporary and operational tasks remain blocked.
Data
  • Field
    Selected goal and approved barrier
    Validation
    Nonempty relevant reference; no unrelated personal history.
    Owner
    Young person
    Sensitivity
    Restricted in future operation; fictional only in public practice.
    Sharing
    Explicit purpose and authorized recipient only; never private reflections.
    Audit
    Future scoped actor, decision, purpose and evidence reference; do not log secrets.
    Retention
    Organizational retention and deletion period not approved.
    Consent
    Current explicit youth consent where selected goal context is involved; otherwise lawful task-specific processing basis requires policy review. No blanket consent assumed.
  • Field
    Decision or verification evidence reference
    Validation
    Provenance, authorized reviewer and current scope; missing evidence remains unverified.
    Owner
    Youth program owner
    Sensitivity
    Restricted operational evidence; none read by the catalog.
    Sharing
    Authorized reviewer only; aggregate public explanation has no personal identifiers.
    Audit
    Future atomic decision and change audit where operational approval is required.
    Retention
    Policy-specific review and appeal requirements unresolved.
    Consent
    Purpose-limited review under approved evidence policy; contributor recognition requires a separate optional choice.

Assessment
Proposed
All formal operational sequences are proposed, not organizationally approved.
Frontend
Existing public youth views and tours explain the concept only.
Backend
No new operational behavior is verified by this catalog.
Simulated
Fictional local practice and storyboard navigation never confer authority.
Blocked
Account activation, staff coordination, payments and assignments need separate approvals.
Unknown
Positive authenticated lifecycle, provider delivery and cross-account privacy remain unverified.
System Boundary
Public documentation and fictional practice now; separately reviewed youth operational boundary in future.
Strategic Alignment
Objective Id
OBJ-01
Statement
Proposed youth-centered planning and accountable coordination; formal CHI alignment is not established.

Business rules

BR-MIN · Minimum necessary information

Share only the task-relevant approved context. Private reflections never enter public staff demonstrations.

BR-TRUTH · Evidence before claims

A referral is not delivery; documentation and storyboard completion are not verification or approval.

BR-CONSENT · Youth choice and selected sharing

Only an explicitly selected goal projection may be shared; youth control approval and goal completion. Withdrawal stops optional disclosure.
