01 · The problem

After disaster, proof is scattered.

Documents may be destroyed. People may be displaced. The same story is repeated across institutions that each need different evidence.
01

Records are fragmented

Photos, texts, receipts, letters, and damaged documents rarely arrive as a clean packet.

02

Stories are repeated

Survivors may tell the same difficult account to agencies, insurers, nonprofits, and caseworkers.

03

Standard proof goes missing

Leases, titles, deeds, and official letters may be lost, destroyed, or unavailable.

04

Aid events overlap

Insurance, public aid, and nonprofit assistance move on different timelines and can create confusion.

02 · Use what you have

Fragments become candidate recovery facts.

Holdfast starts with the records people actually have, then maps those fragments to recovery facts that still require human review.

Candidate recovery facts

  1. Primary residence at damaged address
  2. Roof and water damage observed
  3. Temporary lodging need documented
  4. Vehicle proof requires substitute pathway

Drafted facts are not packet-ready until confirmed.

03 · Human review gate

Nothing becomes packet-ready until a person confirms it.

AI and rules may organize information. Survivors, caseworkers, or authorized reviewers decide what becomes confirmed recovery evidence.
1

Candidate fact

Fragments suggest a draft recovery fact with provenance and confidence.

2

Reviewer checks

A person confirms, edits, rejects, or requests more evidence.

3

Fact confirmed

Only confirmed facts enter the recovery evidence graph.

4

Packet-ready

Readiness states and exports use reviewed evidence only.

04 · Loss + aid reconciliation

See unmet need before submission.

Typed loss items are mapped against aid and insurance events so remaining need and duplicate-benefit exposure are visible before a packet is shared.

05 · Substitute evidence pathways

When standard documents are missing.

Lost lease. Missing mobile home title. Heirship property. Destroyed deed. Holdfast lays out recognized proof pathways for review.
Missing document

Lost lease

Utility bill, landlord statement, shelter record, mail forwarding record.

Missing document

Mobile home title

Park statement, tax record, repair receipts, public official letter.

Missing document

Heirship property

Heirship affidavit, death certificate, property tax history, family statement.

Missing document

Destroyed deed

County copy request, mortgage statement, title policy, official record extract.

06 · Consent-scoped exports

One reviewed record. Many packets. Always your choice.

Select a packet type and see how the same reviewed evidence record can share different facts with different recipients.

Packet preview

FEMA packet

Federal individual assistance documentation with reviewed facts and selected evidence.

Consent log retained. Sharing can be changed by the survivor.

07 · Who it serves

Built with the people who do recovery work.

Holdfast is a public-interest evidence layer for survivors and the institutions that support disaster recovery.

Disaster survivors

Organize what remains and avoid repeating the same story.

Caseworkers

Review candidate facts and prepare cleaner packet drafts.

Recovery groups

Coordinate unmet need with better evidence visibility.

Nonprofit coalitions

Use consistent proof pathways without collecting every document.

Emergency management

Support survivor recovery without turning the tool into surveillance.

Legal aid / appeals

Prepare reviewed records for appeals and documentation support.

08 · Ethical guardrails

A serious set of will-nots.

These boundaries are part of the system’s design, not a marketing flourish.

Survivors do not pay No claim-value fees No data resale No lead generation No fraud score No automated denial Human review before packet use Survivor-controlled sharing
