PROBLEM

Humans and data don't capture themselves.

SOLUTION

The Digital Trap is a standard web input pipeline. A form captures user data, a router decides where it goes, validation checks that it is worth keeping, and a database stores it for later. Four intangible components, one trap. Everything that comes in gets checked at the door. Works best with a treat. With a databse that resembles the cold iron coumns of a prison cell that none shall escape. Forever. And ever.

components

A motivational reward module. Dispensed upon task completion. Composition varies by state law. Do not ask what is in it.

Inspect
intangibles

A structured input interface that collects data from a user. Fields, labels, and a submit action. Is typically extremely hard to use, especially in government and legal settings.

Inspect

A rule-checking module that verifies input data meets required format, type, and constraint standards before it is accepted. If you so much as miss one period, your birthday is formatted wrong or you refresh the page, you fail the validation game and start over.

Inspect

A path resolver that maps an incoming request to the correct handler or destination based on defined rules. No one quite knows where the cat videos go, we just know it says error 502.

Inspect

A structured storage system for persisting, querying, and retrieving data. Accepts reads and writes through a defined interface. Yes, it is just a spreadsheet. Keep telling yourself that.

Inspect

A real-time analytics interface that aggregates feedback data across all locations into KPI visualizations, sentiment trend graphs, response volume counters, and configurable alert thresholds. Accessible from any browser. Updates live. Makes the data look like you always knew what you were doing. Has a print function for your boss that doesn't know how to use an iPhone.
