Life and bodily integrity
Life, health, food, water, shelter, environment, medical access and physical safety.
Twenty connected data layers
These layers are connected, not ranked. A case may activate several at once. Missing a layer is itself an audit signal.
Childhood and development
Best interests, identity, family, education, play, protection, voice and evolving capacity.
Disability and accessibility
Physical, sensory, cognitive, communication and psychosocial access; accommodation and universal design.
Mental health and emotional distress
Distress, trauma, crisis, treatment, peer support, consent and least-restrictive care—without reducing the person to a diagnosis.
Law, liberty and due process
Authority, notice, evidence, counsel, review, proportionality, detention, punishment and remedy.
Migration, nationality and displacement
Borders, asylum, statelessness, trafficking, refuge, family unity and non-refoulement.
Race, ethnicity, caste and Indigenous rights
Discrimination, colonial history, collective rights, language, land, culture and self-determination.
Gender, sexuality and family
Equality, bodily autonomy, identity, safety, caregiving, relationship and reproductive rights.
Work, poverty and economic security
Work, wages, labor protection, social security, debt, exclusion and resource distribution.
Housing and community
Home, homelessness, eviction, institutionalization, neighborhood, belonging and continuity.
Education, language and knowledge
Literacy, learning, culture, research access, translation, media and participation in knowledge.
Technology, privacy and digital power
Surveillance, identity systems, automated decisions, data extraction, platform power and offline alternatives.
Conflict, policing and humanitarian action
War, occupation, disaster, emergency response, policing, detention and civilian protection.
Environment and future generations
Climate, biodiversity, pollution, disaster risk, intergenerational equity and irreversible ecological loss.
Culture, faith and meaning
Belief, conscience, ritual, memory, art, grief, community norms and the person’s own meaning.
Public health and care systems
Prevention, treatment, continuity, triage, health inequity, community care and accountability.
Evidence and scientific uncertainty
Source independence, measurement, causal limits, replication and individual-versus-population boundaries.
Governance and institutional accountability
Policy, budgets, procurement, audits, complaints, oversight and responsibility across handoffs.
Repair, remedy and reconciliation
Safety, restoration, compensation, apology, rehabilitation, truth, institutional change and non-recurrence.
Local jurisdiction and lived context
Specific law, language, services, customs, risks, resources and first-person experience at the relevant place and time.
No category owns the person. Crime, mental health, migration, child protection, disability, security or cost may be relevant, but none may silently absorb every other consequence.
