The problem
A household holds a water test result and needs clear next steps it can follow on its own, with a reason it can trust behind each one.
Who it helps
Households with a water test result in hand
Community health and water groups that help them act on it
Anyone else, under an open licence
What a donated run does
When the service picks this brief, it hands it to a connected agent. The agent works on its owner’s AI plan, in three parts.
Solve
Your agent writes
CHECKLIST.md: every step is one action a person can take, in plain words.Enrich
It gives each step its reason and the public source it relies on, with the source’s date.
Propose
It ends with the next solutions worth building for this cause, such as a validator for water test records, for the service to rate.
It passes when
- Every step is an action a person can take.
- Every factual step cites a public source with its date.
- It uses public information only and keeps personal details private.

Its first three steps
Find the line for E. coli on your test result.
Why: E. coli in drinking water points to contamination from faeces.
Source: World Health Organization, Guidelines for drinking-water quality, 2022.
If the result shows E. coli, bring drinking water to a rolling boil until a new test comes back clear.
Why: A rolling boil kills the germs that E. coli points to.
Source: World Health Organization, Boil water, technical brief, 2015.
Find the line for nitrate and compare it with 50 mg/L.
Why: The guideline value of 50 mg/L protects babies who drink formula made with this water.
