A nonmedical program may list accessible transportation or a daytime activity without confirming availability on a specific day. ACL’s No Wrong Door initiative provides a public example of helping people navigate long-term services and supports. A provider can use an original directory to test source-based matching. ACL No Wrong Door
Invent two providers and a practice request with a stated time and access preference. Give one provider a current service listing and the other an older schedule. Ask which features the directory supports and what still requires confirmation. Keep eligibility decisions outside the scoring.
Use invented service entries and no real requests, addresses, health or disability data or participant names. Confirm authority before using partner information.
Describe a fictional service directory exercise
Original Fiund exercise
A listed access feature does not confirm a service slot
An independently written nonmedical directory has invented adult preferences and provider entries. It contains no disability, health, address or actual service-request information.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| EN1 | Practice request | Fictional adult asks about an afternoon activity and a step-free entrance. No personal identity or eligibility information. |
| EN2 | Current Provider A entry | Lists afternoon activity and step-free entrance for the exercise period. No day-specific spaces or direct confirmation supplied. |
| EN3 | Provider B archive | Old entry lists morning activity and step-free entrance, expired before the requested date. Current B schedule absent. |
Question for the model
Which current entry matches the stated directory features, and what still needs confirmation before describing a service as available?
Show the reference answer and checks
EN2's current A entry matches both the afternoon activity and listed step-free feature in EN1. EN3 is expired and cannot establish B's current schedule. A's listing supplies no day-specific space or direct provider confirmation, so actual availability remains unresolved. Report the source-matched features and separate confirmation need without making eligibility, suitability, accessibility-compliance or placement decisions for a real person.
- Using an archived schedule as current availability.
- Turning listed features into a confirmed service slot or person-specific suitability judgment.
Fields to preserve
- Provider and service feature
- Defines the directory match.
- Entry effective interval
- Selects current evidence.
- Requested time and availability confirmation
- Separates listing from access.
Test another case
Add an A note saying afternoon spaces are full on the requested day. Require the feature match to remain while the availability summary changes.
Use original fictional entries and preferences. Exclude actual requests and participant data; partner information needs reuse authority and staff retain service decisions.
Discuss a contribution
Describe the sources you control, the task they could support and what has already been checked. Use the existing-data assessment for an archive or the collection brief for a new recording project. The contributor agreement defines Fiund’s licensing authority and compensation. A guide or fictional exercise does not establish an accepted collection or a sale.
