01 · Purpose

The problem

Family histories, memories and practical knowledge disappear when they are never recorded.

02 · Experience

How it works

An interviewer follows timed sections, captures biography/family/history/knowledge, saves the resulting story and makes appropriate records discoverable through a ledger.

This archive records what the available project evidence says. It does not infer legal registration, patent grant, trademark ownership or regulatory status where that has not been verified.

07 · Assessment

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

  • Strong social value
  • Structured capture process

Limitations / risks

  • Sensitive personal-data governance

08 · Evidence

What this record is grounded in

  • GitHub repository: simonmowatt1-sudo/kindred-roots-journal
  • Repository README / project brief where available
  • Implemented home route where available
  • Published Lovable URL recorded from repository metadata

A published URL means the project metadata records a deployment address. It is not represented as runtime-tested unless a separate verification pass confirms that deployment.
