# Community and Local Intelligence

## Objective

Turn field reports into a structured, trust-scored, time-aware route quality layer.

## Report types

- `water_available`
- `water_unavailable`
- `surface_wrong`
- `rough_loaded_bike`
- `hike_a_bike`
- `locked_gate`
- `private_access`
- `closure`
- `dangerous_dogs`
- `mud_sand_washout`
- `bridge_out`
- `ferry_issue`
- `sleep_option_good`
- `sleep_option_bad`
- `shop_closed_or_missing`
- `repair_available`
- `reroute_recommended`

## Report payload example

```json
{
  "type": "water_unavailable",
  "location": { "lat": 47.1234, "lon": 11.5678 },
  "route_id": "route_123",
  "meters_from_start": 84231,
  "observed_at": "2026-06-30T14:30:00Z",
  "details": "Tap locked; no public access after 18:00.",
  "photo_optional": true
}
```

## Trust model

Signals:

- account age,
- number of confirmed reports,
- local status,
- photo/GPS evidence,
- agreement with other riders,
- recency,
- conflict count.

## Expiry model

Reports should not live forever.

Default expiration:

- water status: 60 days,
- closures: 30 days,
- mud/surface condition: 30 days,
- locked gate: 90 days,
- shop status: 90 days,
- legal/access reports: manual review,
- local hints: 180 days.

## Moderation

Moderate:

- illegal camping instructions,
- private property entry hints,
- sensitive locations,
- abuse/harassment,
- unsafe advice,
- business defamation.

## OSM feedback loop

Objective, verifiable corrections can be contributed back to OSM by trained editors following OSM community norms. Subjective suitability, safety, and camping hints should remain in the app layer unless they map to accepted OSM tags and are verifiable.
