The grant you’d have missed — found, drafted from your own past wins, every deadline tracked.
Illustrative — the kinds of signals Urban Intelligence surfaces. Not live data.
See it do the work.
A few of the moments WeShield is built for — shown, not told. The same foundation sits under every one of them.
The right person for the moment — and you know they’re real.
WeConnect is where the people who serve a community find each other. Verification means you’re not guessing who’s genuine, and the people you trust vouch for the rest.

Hate and Islamophobia are badly undercounted. WeShield gives people a safe, dignified way to report — anonymously if they choose — and once it’s checked, it finally shows up on the map.

Urban Intelligence turns the signals a community already has into a plain read on where harm is rising — early enough to act, and always about places, never people.

Spike flagged earlyCaught before it hit the news — about areas and patterns, never a person.
A crisis, handed cleanly between agencies.
Work moves between departments and partners with every handoff on the record — so nothing falls through the cracks when a case crosses a line, or a person moves on.

Nothing dropped between agencies — the trail survives a change of staff.
How it works, plainly
An agent can draft a grant at 3 a.m. It still can’t send it.
WeShield is built for the people doing the work — the AI is there to take the busywork off your plate, not to make the calls. It stops where it matters: a person decides anything that can’t be undone. That line is built into the foundation every app shares, so it holds even on a bad day.
The AI does the busywork
Drafting, sorting, scoring, watching for what changed — the slow, draining parts that burn people out.
A person makes every real decision
Sending, publishing, connecting — anything that can’t be undone waits for a human. It’s built in, not a setting.
Your data stays in Canada
Stored and handled here, yours to export whenever — and you can see everything that’s happened to it.
Real data, right now
Live on real Vancouver civic data
Not a mockup. These are real signals from the City of Vancouver’s open data, read by neighbourhood — the same way WeShield reads a community’s own data to surface where safety and development need attention.

Need a tool that doesn’t exist yet?
Build it here. Your tool runs on the same foundation as everything else — the same privacy, the same record of what happened, the same rule that a person decides. Build it once, and it inherits all of that.
Where we are
Early access — and honest about it.
WeShield is new. The apps marked “Available” are live and you can use them today; the ones marked “Coming” are on the way, and we’ll never blur the line. No inflated numbers, no logos we haven’t earned. If this is the tool your community needs, get in early — and help shape what comes next.
Bring the mission. Keep the judgment.
A real place to do the work — your data in Canada, a person on every decision that counts, and room to build whatever your community needs next.
